kongli Posted March 29, 2011 at 08:53 AM Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 at 08:53 AM I need to translate this song for an article I am writing. Any help would be appreciated. It is pretty complex. [slug] Enough to hold you to the brightest of lights, to place you dangerously close to that sun, enough to acknowledge the flaws you can't ignore and recognize the cause of what's done is done, more than enough to put my name behind my ideals, and neglect my logic twice daily. enough to keep me looking for my lucy in the sky with gems, when I remember how you used to call me baby, enough to look in my mirror with detest for every tear you shed regardless of why you wept, enough to curse any man who can't appreciate the depth of the ocean I swam till I ran out of breath. I love you, don't ever fucking question that, that's why we'll probably never get along. if I was better at finding the right words to say, I wouldn't need to write these motherfucking songs. [slug] I love you, I love you (faded) never, don't ever fucking question that, don't ever fucking question that. riding the public transit, I study the blank stares to answer my questions of how and why I got so many grey hairs. I take care of the nervous that runs through my extension cord, and I reflect on that reoccurring dream where we met the Lord. single file lines, to give her a pound one at a time but when i faced her- I attempted to embrace her, she looked so fine, I awoke from my sleep before her bodyguard had a chance to beat me to submission and I still walk with my religion. I watched the children scurry in circles around a two-way mirror, worrying about which side of the glass projects the reflection clearer. I hear the whispers of the wind trying to get me to grin, gassing' me up about the love that I plucked and I've been stuck within, for every eclipse that stares at me from the other side of a paper cup of espresso- I light a match beneath a kettle, and for ever set of lips that become attached and equipped with that program to seek success, i bleed my ethics out a slow drip. I used to know a man who met a woman, dont remember where, big beautiful eyes and light brown hair, she was from the burbs, he was from the south side of the city, this was back when Franklin avenue was still pretty. two different worlds apart, but the world is just a small town- we all know how people like to get down. here we go, aquarius, pisces, feel the flow of the fluid as I swim through it to free my soul. bush shoved the cane without the glove numbed the pain. the magic from up above what it does for the brain, make the love, paint the picture, write the song, the player met a virgin made a virgo named him sean. make the love, paint the picture, write the song, the player met a virgin made a virgo named him sean. make the love, paint the picture and write that song till the break of dawn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted April 2, 2011 at 10:46 PM Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 at 10:46 PM I have no idea on the translation, but I have to ask: for what article is this an appropriate song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongli Posted April 3, 2011 at 01:37 AM Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 at 01:37 AM Haha. It is for a writing class, I guess I should have said 'paper' or 'homework assignment' . Were supposed to pick a song we like, translate it and then write a report about why we like it. Hadn't actually listened to this song for some years but it will always be one of my favorites. So much weight to those lyrics. The group happens to be from MN. In case you weren't familiar. Hence the Franklin ave reference. Still having trouble on translating the song though.
