The Rolling Stones - Heaven Превод текста

De Profundis Clamavi

Have pity, my one love and sole delight!
Down to a dark abyss my heart has sounded,
A mournful world, by grey horizons bounded,
Where blasphemy and horror swim by night.
 

For half the year a heatless sun gives light,
The other half the night obscures the earth.
The arctic regions never knew such dearth.
No woods, nor streams, nor creatures meet the sight.
 

No horror in the world could match in dread
The cruelty of that dire sun of frost,
And that huge night like primal chaos spread.
 

I envy creatures of the vilest kind
That they in stupid slumber can be lost —
So slowly does the skein of time unwind!

Two Lines

Me and a blank sheet
and the usual two lines,
I'm alone,
return to me.
 

Fog and some records
that I keep as friends
in the house
empty of you.
 

Me and your memory
while I write the two lines
as I say
return to me.
 

If you know what
a lonely man is,
a man who loves you,
then you'll understand.
 

When you have these two lines,
the two of a million
that I wrote
to you alone—
 

—perhaps you'll believe
in the tears that I write
and again
you'll return.

The Country That Doesn't Exist

La-la-la la-la-la la-la la-la,
la-la-la la-la-la la-la la.
La-la-la la-la-la la-la la-la,
la-la-la la-la-la la-la la.
 

Sooner or later, I'll go
to the top of the mountain.
I'll seek you out and sooner or later
I'll have you in front of me.
 

I know the distant country
where springtime lives.
There is a band that plays every night
and the people have no problems.
 

Sooner or later, you'll walk
on blue roads.
Together with me, you'll forget
the things of the world.
 

I know the distant country
where springtime lives.
There is a band that plays every night
and the people have no problems.
 

I know the distant country
where springtime lives.
There is a band that plays every night
and the people...
 

The Sun Will Fall

The sun will fall,
dying in the blue.
The darkness will come
the moment you leave me.
 

No one will be able
to love you like this.
What more than me
from another love do you want?
 

Before you leave,
love, kiss me.
Give me hope that you
will return.
 

The sun will fall,
dying with me.
The darkness will come
when you leave.
 

~~~~~
 

Before you leave,
love, kiss me.
Give me hope that you
will return.
 

The sun will fall,
dying with me.
The darkness will come
when you leave.
 

You're the sun,
you're the world.
Embrace me again
and stay with me,
and stay with me,
and stay with me,
and stay with me,
and stay...
