What will Ты gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven или hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind, painting your mind and playing joker
Too frightening to listen to a stranger, too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You’re waiting for someone to understand you
But you’ve got demons in your closet and you’re screaming out to stop it
Saying life’s begun to cheat you, Друзья are out to beat you, grab on to what Ты scramble for
Don’t let the tears linger on inside now, cause it’s sure time Ты gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you, If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me Показать Ты the nearest signpost, to get your сердце back on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
All through the night as Ты lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do Ты need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I, as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if Ты could see the world through my eyes?
Too frightening - the fires are getting colder,
Too beautiful - to think you’re getting older
You’re looking for someone to give an answer
But what Ты see is just illusion, you’re surrounded by confusion
Saying life has begun to cheat you, Друзья are out to beat you
Grab on to what Ты can scramble for, don’t let the tears linger on inside now
Cause it’s sure time Ты gained control!
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me Показать Ты the nearest signpost, to get your сердце back on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
Cause Ты know I wanna know you! I wanna know you! Well let me know you!
Please let me know you, please let me know you
I wanna feel you, I wanna touch you, please let me near you
Can Ты hear what I’m saying?
Well I’m hoping, I’m dreaming, I’m praying,
I know what you’re thinking, see what you’re seeing, never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down, why do Ты hold yourself down ?
Why don’t Ты listen, Ты can trust me,
There’s a place I know the way to a place
There is need to feel you, feel that you’re alone
Can Ты hear me, I know exactly what you’re feeling
Cause all your troubles are within you
So begin to see that I’m just bleeding too
Любовь me, Любовь you, loving is the way to help me, help you
Why must we be so cool, oh so cool?
Oh, we’re such damn fools...
(Supertramp / Crime of the Century)
"What of the dews of dawn,
Love's flower, what end is theirs ?"
"And what of spirits flown,
The souls whereon doth close
The tomb's mouth unawares ?"
The Rose сказал(-а) to the Grave.
The Rose said, "In the shade
From the dawn's tears is made
A perfume faint and strange,
Amber and honey sweet."
"And all the spirits fleet
Do suffer a sky-change,
еще strangely than the dew,
To God's own Ангелы new,"
The Grave сказал(-а) to the Rose.

LA TOMBE DIT A LA ROSE
La tombe dit à la rose :
"Des pleurs dont l'aube t'arrose
Que fais-tu, fleur des amours ?"
La rose dit à la tombe :
"Que fais-tu de ce qui tombe
Dans ton gouffre ouvert toujours ?"
La rose dit : "Tombeau sombre,
De ces pleurs je fais dans l'ombre
Un parfum d'ambre et de miel."
La tombe dit : " Fleur plaintive,
De chaque âme qui m'arrive
Je fais un ange du ciel !"
