Текст песни Last of the Great Whales (Solas) с переводом

My soul has been torn from me, and I am bleeding

My heart, it has been rent, and I am crying

All the beauty around me fades, and I am screaming

I am the last of the great whales and I am dying

Last night I heard the cry of my last companion

The roar of the harpoon gun, and then I was alone

I thought on the days gone by when we were thousands

But I know that I soon must die, the last leviathan

This morning the sun did rise, crimson edge to the north sky

The ice was the color of blood, and the winds, they did sigh

I rose for to take a breath, it was my last one

From a gun came the roar of death, and now I am done

And so since time began, we have been hunted

Through oceans that were our homes we have been haunted

From Eskimos in canoes to mighty whalers

Still you ignored our pleas, none came to save us

Oh now that we all are gone, there is no more hunting

The big fellow is no more, it’s no use lamenting

What race will be next in line all for the slaughter?

The elephant or the seal, or your sons and daughters?

My soul has been torn from me, and I am bleeding

My heart, it has been rent, and I am crying

All the beauty around me fades, and I am screaming

I am the last of the great whales and I am dying
