DRAGONMOUNT

A WHEEL OF TIME COMMUNITY

[BotRH] What are you listening to?


Recommended Posts

Cecilia Bartoli, one of my favorite Mezzo Sopranos. The timbre of her voice is exquisite, her technique impeccable. She makes every song her own, even this one, which it seems EVERY soprano learns. She makes it all seem so easy!

Gee, I like their sound! The singer reminds me of Bono. Wish I understood the lyrics, though!

 

Translating directly means pretty much all the poetic qualities, as well as other things are lost. but, here goes...

 

What if there is a forgotten road

that noone has walked for many years

It might lead us to water,

to the rings on water,

to a subterranean city

Forgoten veins and arteries

Hidden tunnels beneath the arcade

 

Some of us has been there,

but we have forgotten how we got there

We lack the codes and keys

required to get back

in, in, in...

 

Into the light

Leave the lamps on

Don't turn out the lights

Leave the lamps on

 

I am doing an excavation of Atlantis

My fingers deep in the soil

I've got China under my nail

In 300 years or days

maybe we'll find forgotten roads,

maybe they'll lead to the forest

Some of us has been there,

but we have forgotten how we got there

We've got images in the thousands

but no longer any memory

of what it takes to get back

in, in, in...

 

Into the light

 

Some of us finds the way there some time,

but does not understand what we see

Some of us finds the way there some time,

then never never no more

 

In, in, in...

Into the light

Oh, well this one goes:

 

"Teuvo, the King of the Highways

 

My hometown's main street was a gravelly road

my Anglia rolled over there

the traffic sign there must yet stand awry

the one that got bent due to a steering mistake

After being thrown through the glass from the front seat

I had rolled on the side of the road

At the bottom of the gutter while spitting out teeth

I'd vomited blood and cried

 

In this face even a scar would be a beauty mark

and my teeth could be done anew

but my driver's licence and the Anglia's licence plates went with the police

---hinders this hobby of mine

 

I yet hope to become a rally driver

in vain do mothers advice their hero sons

You don't win a rally if you fear there

at the finish they'll celebrate our own son, Teuvo!

 

For the weekend while looking out for a car

I took as a loan the neighbour's Sierra

on the speedway as I ran headlong to a truck

I guess I crashed for the last time

 

Teuvo, take us along!

Teuvo, your Anglia got sold!"
