Я открыла для себя группу Hooverphonic. Лучше поздно, чем никогда, правда?

Теперь я еще два дня буду слушать только их и буду совершенно счастлива.
К тому же, они бельгийцы!

Третий день слушаю эту песню и рыдаю,
(и это при том, что книжки Камши оставляют меня равнодушной)

Нечеловечески романтическая песня. (Хэй, мама, я ее перевела, все-таки не забыла язык!) Текст внизу.

Mein Freund der Baum ist tot,
er fiel im frühen Morgenrot.

Du fielst heut früh, ich kam zu spät,
du wirst dich nie im Wind mehr wiegen,
du musst gefällt am Wege liegen,
und mancher, der vorüber geht,
der achtet nicht den Rest von Leben
und reißt an Deinen grünen Zweigen,
die sterbend sich zur Erde neigen.
Wer wird mir nun die Ruhe geben,
die ich in Deinem Schatten fand?
Mein bester Freund ist mir verloren,
der mit der Kindheit mich verband.

Mein Freund der Baum ist tot,
er fiel im frühen Morgenrot.

Bald wächst ein Haus aus Glas und Stein,
dort wo man ihn hat abgeschlagen,
bald werden graue Mauern ragen,
dort wo er liegt im Sonnenschein.
Vielleicht wird es ein Wunder geben,
ich werde heimlich darauf warten,
vielleicht blüht vor dem Haus ein Garten,
und er erwacht zu neuem Leben.
Doch ist er dann noch schwach und klein,
und wenn auch viele Jahre gehen,
er wird nie mehr derselbe sein.

Mein Freund der Baum ist tot,
er fiel im frühen Morgenrot.

Конечно, все это слышали миллион раз. Но какая же славная песня.

the scaffolder's wife
driving out of the yard
with a face that's as hard
as a scaffolder's bar -
when she goes into town
she might take the top down
- on the car

the quick little steps
in the stiletto boots
and the hair with the roots
she comes in as a rule
to get the nails done
and the tan for the sun
when the kids are in school

don't begrudge her the MERC
it's been nothing but work
in/and a hard life
losing her looks
over company books
- the scaffolder's wife

in the wicked old days
when they went it alone
kept the company going
on a wing and a prayer
they don't pay what they owe

when they have the cash flow
- they don't care
don't begrudge her the MERC
it's been nothing but work
in/and a hard life
losing her looks
over company books
- the scaffolder's wife

...the scaffolder's wife

(у меня тоскливое-претоскливое настроение)

А вот все-таки крутая песня "Фантастика" у муми-тролля вышла!
Так вот и есть, когда бывает счастье
Меня только вот это "на века" смущает.

Снова песня про меня. Что ж за елки зеленые с этой коммуникацией.



For 27 years I've been trying
to believe and confide in
different people I found
Some of them got closer than others
and some wouldn't even bother
and then you came around
I didn't really know what to call you
You didn't know me at all
but I was happy to explain
I never really knew how to move you
so I tried to intrude through
the little holes in your veins

And I saw you
But that's not an invitation
that's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
but I don't know how to connect
so I disconnect

You always seem to know where to find me
and I'm, still here behind you
in the corner of your eye
I never really learnt how to love you
but I know that I love you
through the hole in the sky
where I see you
and that's not an invitation that's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
but I don't know how to connect
so I disconnect

Well this is an invitation
it's not a threat
If you want communication
that's what you get
I'm talking and talking
but I don't know how to connect
and I hold a record for being patient
with your kind of hesitation
I need you, you want me
but I don't know how to connect
so I disconnect
I disconnect

Я сначала думала, что это песня про the_sau, а потом внимательно ее послушала и поняла, что она про меня и про мою текущую ситуацию.

Просто гимн последних недель.

Watch the early morning sun
drip like blood from the day
See the busy people run
so many games to play
See the blue suburban dream
under the jet plane sky
Sleep away and dream a dream
Life is just a lullaby

Oh and everything will flow
Oh you know everything will flow
Oh...

Watch the day begin again
Whispering into the night
See the pretty people play
Hurrying under the light
A million cars, a million trains,
Under the jet plane sky
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Life is just a lullaby

Oh, and everything will flow
Oh, I said everything will flow
Oh, you know everything will flow
Oh...

Oh, and everything will flow
Oh, you know everything will flow
Oh...

The neon lights in the night tonight
will say "everything will flow"
The stars that shine in the open sky
will say "everything will flow"
The lovers kissed with an openness
will say "everything will flow"
The cars parked in the hypermarket
know "everything will flow"
