Текст песни Alaskan Shake (Nap Eyes) с переводом

It is the Alaskan Shake

Where the wits are the cold ones

That make the heart strings break

And twist into little pieces

And snap like a brittle shoelace

Which is a good thing too

Sometimes it’s a good thing when the cold has kept you

Paralyzed from taking action causing pain

Like the slumbering stature you refrain

People recognize you in the night, they recognize you’re wrong

They recognize you’re right, even when you feel wrong

It’s the reason they listen when you make a song

Yes it’s the reason they listen to you when you make a song

And the firelight that warms your toes

Down in the lamplight

Down under the limelight

Let the firelight warm your toes

Take good care of your little digits though, until the numbness goes

Whistle the wind, whistle the wind, whistle the wind blows

Inside your head

It is the Alaskan Lake

Where the waters are colder than the risk you take

Where the night is long

And where you huddle for a long time and contemplate

And the time comes for actions but the actions

Is a hurried motion, oh no

And the firelight that warms your feet

Crackles louder all the more when you try to be discreet

Before the morning light a group of black swallows

Congregated at the burying ground where they laid your great uncle

Dismayed at the memory of the late, great surgeon

Admiring and fearful was the urchin

At one your grandmother, while she was living so much

One of the swallows seemed to cough and splutter

While the others watched, not frantically

One of the swallows flew into the tree

Another swallow leaned against the crutch

Suddenly the waters surged

And fro our of the clear and grey mist

Came the ghost of the early morning

Ghost was speaking like a bell

In the clear and silent

The voice you know it well

Stand up, little boys, and be peaceful

Stand up, little girls, and be peaceful

Take a drink when the water is warm

Remember the old ghost the night of

Release from the storm

She is the warm-hearted one

My old great, great, great, great, great, great

Grandmother mother mother mother

My old late, great, great, great, great, great

Grandmother mother mother mother
