Sixto Rodríguez - Cause Превод текста
Cause
Cause I lost my job
two weeks before Christmas,
and I talked to Jesus at the sewer,
And the Pope said
it was none of his God-damned business,
while the rain drank champagne.
My Estonian Archangel came
and got me wasted,
'cause the sweetest kiss I ever got
is the one I've never tasted.
Oh, but they'll take
their bonus pay to Molly McDonald,
neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys,
is bought or borrowed.
Cause my heart's become
a crooked hotel full of rumours.
But it's I who pays the rent
for these fingered-face out-of-tuners,
and I make 16 solid half hour friendships,
every evening.
'Cause your queen of hearts
who is half a stone,
and likes to laugh alone
is always threatening you with leaving.
Oh, but they play
those token games on Willy Thompson.
And give a medal to replace
the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson.
'Cause they told me
everybody's got to pay their dues.
And I explained that I had overpaid them,
so overdued I went to the company store,
and the clerk there said
that they had just been invaded,
so I set sail in a teardrop
and escaped beneath the doorsill.
'Cause the smell of her perfume
echoes in my head still.
'Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
in weekends of whiskey sours.
'Cause how many times can you wake up
in this comic book and plant flowers?

Melancholy
Melancholy
Dark moments
When he left
a fairytale ended
A bright magic
full of wonder
was this minute of infatuation
But the heart is cold
when dreams have died
And the darkness tremble
Every word feels trite
We were together
Meant to be
Now I walk alone
with my melancholy
Melancholy
Dark moments
When he left
a fairytale ended
A bright magic
full of wonder
was this minute of infatuation
But the heart is cold
when dreams have died
And the darkness tremble
Every word feels trite
We were together
Meant to be
Now I walk alone
with my melancholy
Melancholy
Dark moments
When he left
a fairytale ended

M-Control
From now on, you are my servant.
From now on, you are mine.
Imitate me.
Do as you're told.
Make yourself comfortable.
So that the cracks in your broken heart will be less noticeable.
From now on, you are my servant.
From now on, you are my servant.
From now on you will be my servant
From now on you are my servant
From now on, you are mine.
Imitate me.
Just let it all out.
At least let it out so I can forget.
I wish for you to be able to move on from your brokenness.
May we be able to look forward together forever.
I'll keep on fooling you. Keep on being fooled?

The Chains
You're too unique,
you're too free
and I don't want you to escape
without ever returning.
I put chains on you
and you'll be a prisoner,
you'll never be able
to escape me.
I put chains on you,
I'll be your prison,
you won't leave,
no, no, no, no, yeah!
You have wings too strong,
you're with me, there I have you!
You're looking for too many beaches
but with you I won't take a risk.
I put chains on you
and you'll be a prisoner,
you'll never be able
to escape me.
I put chains on you,
I'll be your prison,
you won't leave,
no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, yeah!
~~~~~
I put chains on you,
I'll be your prison,
you won't leave,
no, no, no, no,
you won't leave, no
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, yeah!
No, no, no...
