Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
the smits'in iç acıtan parçası.aşk şarkısı gibi sanılsa da o kadar basit değildir.bir insanın çöküşünün ve artık belki de en son kişi olan annesinden yardım istemesini konu alır.çaresizliğin yazılmış halidir.
sözleri şöyledir;
oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
annecim, kafama topraklar yığılıyor sanki
and as i climb into an empty bed
boş bir yatağın içinde debeleniyorum
oh well. enough said.
tamam. çok konuşuyorum.
i know it's over - still i cling
bitti, biliyorum ama hâlâ bırakamıyorum
i don't know where else i can go
başka nereye gidebilirim ki bilmiyorum,
oh...
oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
annecim, kafama topraklar yığılıyor sanki
see, the sea wants to take me
görüyor musun, deniz beni götürmek istiyor
the knife wants to slit me
bıçak beni parçalamak istiyor
do you think you can help me?
bana yardım edebilir misin sence?
sad veiled bride, please be happy
duvaklı üzgün gelin, lütfen mutlu ol
handsome groom, give her room
yakışıklı damat, odasını ver ona
loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
yüksek sesli, kabaca seven adam, ona iyi davran
(though she needs you
more than she loves you)
(seni sevdiğinden değil,
sana ihtiyacı var)
and i know it's over - still i cling
bitti, biliyorum ama hâlâ bırakamıyorum
i don't know where else i can go
başka nereye gidebilirim ki, bilmiyorum
over and over and over and over
yine ve yine ve yine ve yine
over and over, la ...
yine ve yine
i know it's over
bitti, biliyorum
and it never really began
ve hiç bir zaman başlamamıştı ki
but in my heart
ama kalbimde
it was so real
o kadar gerçekti ki
and you even spoke to me, and said:
ve sen bile konuştun benimle, ve dedinki
"if you're so funny
then why are you on your own tonight?
eğer bu kadar komiksen
neden kendi başınasın bu akşam?
and if you're so clever
then why are you on your own tonight?
eğer bu kadar akıllıysan
neden kendi başınasın bu akşam?
if you're so very entertaining
then why are you on your own tonight?
eğer bu, bu kadar eğlenceliysen
neden kendi başınasın bu akşam?
if you're so very good-looking
why do you sleep alone tonight?"
eğer bu kadar güzel görünüyorsan
neden yalnız uyuyorsun bu akşam?
i know ...
ben biliyorum
'cause tonight is just like any other night
that's why you're on your own tonight
with your triumphs and your charms
while they're in each other's arms...
çünkü bugünde diğer akşamlar gibi
kendi başına olmanın sebebi
sen kazandıkların ve çekiciliğinleyken
onlar birbirlerinin kollarındayken...
it's so easy to laugh
gülmek çok kolay
it's so easy to hate
nefret etmek çok kolay
it takes strength to be gentle and kind
kibar ve centilmen olmak güç ister
it's so easy to laugh
gülmek çok kolay
it's so easy to hate
nefret etmek çok kolay
it takes guts to be gentle and kind
kibar ve centilmen olmak cesaret ister
love is natural and real
but not for you, my love
not tonight, my love
sevgi gerçek ve doğaldır
ama senin için değil sevgilim
bu akşam değil sevgilim
love is natural and real
but not for such as you and i, my love
sevgi gerçek ve doğaldır
ama senin ve benim gibiler için değil sevgilim
oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
annecim, kafama topraklar yığılıyor sanki
oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my...
annecim, topraklar yığılıyor sanki...
oh mother, i can even feel the soil falling over my head
annecim, kafama topraklar yığılıyor gibi sanki
