Translation by oranges, who submitted the lyrics: IN ENGLISH/PÅ ENGELSKA: Sitting in a tree The air feels so free Rings on the water’s surface and the sun rises Living in a cottage with a roof made of grass Spinning round clockwise and thinking of your nest The sun dust smoulders The birds can see up high in the pines Maybe you tumble down? I know of a bridge which crosses a stream There one can hope that everything is as it once was Laying in a meadow on a girl’s knee Running in the summer night Maybe you accompany me? |

| Richard & Linda Thompson – Withered and Died Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think "Steal from the bed of some good friend of mine" refers to the narator indulging in casual sex to escape her despair. The fall from chastity is a common theme in folk song. As for the "waters so wide", perhaps the "boy from the west" has gone back west; or perhaps he took her west and then abandoned her and the waters are those between her and her childhood. |

Yoshi, I can see why you would feel personally sensitive to the careless use of such words. However, it might interest you to know that "idiot" and "retard" are basically identical in their slang use. This is because of their similar use in medical jargon, in which "idiot" is an out-of-date word for what they now call "profound mental retardation". You moron. |

Thanks to Psychobear for this. English Translation (by Pyschobear who posted the lyrics): Get away from me Don't talk to me I beg of you Don't fall for me I just don't want you to get hurt I'm a great flirt I'm not a saint But for you I will change Even though it is hard I will fight through it Because for you I'm ready to "straighten up" Always think Everything I do Is only for you You're not the type to get fooled And I'm not The type that is typically serious And even though You hopefully find no faults I will only deceive you So if only you won't because I don't want you to get hurt Don't believe me I am no saint But for you I will change Even though it is hard I will fight through it Because for you I'm ready to "straighten up" Always think Everything I do Is only for you Why are you still listening? The song is almost over I'm letting you escape Since the first stanza Aren't you getting scared? You might get involved In my sins But for you I will change Even though it is hard I will fight through it Because for you I'm ready to "straighten up" Always think Everything I do Is only for you I will change Even though it is hard I will fight through it Because for you I'm ready to "straighten up" Always think Everything I do Is only for you **Some lines in the translated version may be wrong so please tell me and I'll see if I can revise it again, thanks. If anyone can make this more poetic, feel free to show me how!** - psychobear |

| Sunn O))) – Decay2 (Nihil's Maw) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
The vocals are chanted by Attila Csihar. They are taken from chapter twelve of the S'rîmad Bhâgavatam, a sacred Hindu text. Translation (taken from http://www.srimadbhagavatam.org/): "S'rî S'uka said: 'And then, o King, day after day under the strong influence of the time [of Kali-yuga] the religiousness, truthfulness, cleanliness, tolerance and mercy as well as the duration of life, the strength and the memory will diminish. In the age of Kali among man wealth alone will be the sign of a good birth, behavior and qualities and material power will be the only criterion in determining what would be just and right. Marital relations will be based upon outer appearances, in business deceit will be the standard, whether one is considered manly or feminine will depend on one's sexuality and a sacred thread will suffice to be considered learned. An outer mark will be enough to determine a person's spiritual status and will also suffice for changing one's confession, making little money one looses one's credibility and a little word jugglery is enough to be considered a scholar. Poverty is taken for something unholy and hypocrisy is considered a virtue; a promise is enough to be married [to have premarital sex] and to take a bath [without any other morning routine] is enough to appear for the day. A reservoir of water somewhere far away is considered a holy place, beauty depends on one's coiffure, life's purpose is to fill one's belly, audacity is considered truthfulness, able to maintain a family one is an expert and religious service is attended for one's reputation. With the earth overpopulated with a populace thus corrupted, anyone among the intellectuals, the merchants or the ruling or working class who is the strongest, will be the King of the Hill. The citizens whose wives and property is stolen by a merciless and avaricious ruling class behaving like ordinary thieves, will flee to the mountains and the forests. Resorting to the consumption of vegetables, roots, meat, honey, fruits, flowers and seeds they will be ruined, suffering draught, tormented by famine and taxes. By cold, wind, heat, rain and snow plagued as well as by hunger, thirst and diseases, they suffer as a consequence a great deal of distress and anxiety. The maximum duration of life for human beings in Kali-yuga will be fifty years. When the bodies of all living entities by the contamination of Kali-yuga are in decay and the dutifulness of the members of all status-orientations is lost, when the vedic path fit for all man has changed into an atheistic conception of duty, when the kings predominantly act as thieves and men in their various occupations in truth are all lying bandits of meaningless slaughter, when the classes are predominantly [profit-]labor-minded, the cows are no better than goats, the hermitages are just like materialistic homes, family ties do not reach further than the bonds of marriage, when the plants and herbs have reduced in size and all trees are like s'amî trees, when there is always lightning in the clouds and the homes are ruled by loneliness, when Kali-yuga is running at its end and the people have become like asses, the Supreme Lord will descend in the mode of pure goodness to defend the dharma. The spiritual master of all the moving and nonmoving beings, Lord Vishnu, the Controller of All, will for the protection of the religion and the saintly put an end to the fruitive activities and the [repeatedly] being born. In the village of S'ambhala Lord Kalki will appear in the home of the great soul, the brahmin Vishnuyas'â ['the glory of Vishnu']. Mounting His swift horse Devadatta, the Lord of the Universe endowed with His sword, transcendental qualities and the eight mystic opulences [siddhis], will subdue the ones who turned away from the holy. On His horse moving with speed about the earth He, unrivaled in His splendor, will slaughter the thieves disguised in the garb of kings. When all the robbers have been killed, the minds of all the citizens and the people living in the countryside will clear up being touched by the breeze which carries the most sacred fragrance of the decorated body of Lord Vâsudeva. When Vâsudeva, the Supreme Lord, is situated in their hearts in His transcendental form of goodness[...]" Attila stops chanting here, halfway through the sentence. It continues thus: "[...]the culture of their progeny will flourish as never before." |

The last line: "How long? Not long. 'Cause what you reap is what you sow." is paraphrased from a speech by Martin Luther King on 25th March, 1965, in Montgomery, Alabama, after the march from Selma. King said, "How long? Not long, because "you shall reap what you sow." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifVdcc4UYHg He was quoting from Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, chapter six: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." |

| Cat Stevens – Longer Boats Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| As the guys below say, the UFO thing was a joke. But perhaps it was not a completely pointless joke. This song is a rejection of religion; perhaps the UFO comment was a mocking comparison between the beliefs of many traditionally religious folk, and the beliefs of people who think they've been abducted by aliens. | |
| Queens of the Stone Age – First It Giveth Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Brazilian, it's an archaic version that was often used in the King James Version of the Bible. Homme is referring to Job chapter 1, verse 21: [Job] said, "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." The verse is about submission. So is this song. Probably submission to a drug addiction. |
