La nuit commence ici pt 3
Jun. 24th, 2009 10:58 pm( Part 3 )
In a dream that I'd saved
from a memory of days,
confusion was waste,
and the lightness the place
The time we have
The task at hand
The love it takes
To destroy a man
The ecstasy
The being free
That big black cloud
Over you and me
Let me make you an offer
Take the glass from this plate and saucer
Hold it up to your mouth
Though you haven't been a bother
At all
Over there, and I want true love to grow
You can't hide, oh no, from the way I feel
Turn my head
Into sound
(trans.)
I will tell you in two words
Who I am, what I do
And how I live. May I?
Who am I? A poet.
What do I do? I write.
And how do I live? I live.
I will not give up on you
I fell out of heaven
to be with you in hell
my sin's not quite seven
nothing much to tell
Lust I haven't craved
A sainted boy I'm not
I'll take it to my grave
A side cursed on rot
(trans.)
Softly and gently
how he smiles,
how his eyes
fondly open
And every occasion I will be ready for the funeral
And every occasion once more is called the funeral
Every occasion I am ready for the funeral
And every occasion one brilliant day funeral
My greatest fear, I organized
Into something more realized
And now what's left I get to spend
Knowing that its about to end
(trans.)
I lived for art, I lived for love.
I gave jewels for the Madonna's mantle,
And I gave my song to the stars, to heaven,
Which shone forth with greater radiance.
In the hour of grief
Why, why, Lord
Ah, why do you reward me thus?
Baby come on, baby come on, baby come on
I think there's someone here to see you
You've got disaster on your mind
They see the secrets in your eyes
They've got disaster on their minds
If they were to find you on their side
Return
Don’t put me on
Return
Don’t make me beg
Return
And they’ll try, they’ll try
They’ll try
To keep us apart
And you’ll try, you all try
You’ll try to keep us apart
But yes we can
You brought us this far
We’ll do what we can
