Текст песни Imperial (Butcher Boy) с переводом

With deft caress, we talk with peppermint breath

We cuddle and we stretch

Every weekend and matinée, save for father’s day

When you close your eyes and rest your head on my head

You clutch yourself anywhere

Every timid vowel will break as we break bread

You’ve cut your teeth while I’ve been growing my hair

We share the rooms we share

With shifting muscle and cards from Union Square

My feet might sink into the soil and bay

But we still make our way

Through morning coffee and days and weather days

We commute in a soft embrace

On the days when you are feeling better

And we can ride on the eastern lines

On the days when you are feeling sad

We’ll settle on the hill with books and bills

Unbuckling your mother’s coop

With sails and rope, with hope imperial

I threw myself across the bridges and bays

In promise and in praise

In sudden clarity, face to fuller face

I dreamt you fell into the bubbly waves

And when I woke, I lay

In ribbons, cotton, and yards of paper cheese (?)

But we commute in a soft embrace

On the days when you are feeling better

And we can ride on the eastern lines

On the days when you are feeling sad

We’ll settle on the hill with books and bills

Unbuckling your mother’s coop

With sails and rope, with hope imperial
