Текст песни Merry-Go-Round (Antje Duvekot) с переводом

Someone is tossing petals in a stream

Somewhere someone is standing at the foothills of their dreams

Someone got a paintbrush, is painting over doubts

Someone opened up his eyes and saw the sun coming out

Someone was captive and found the courage to get off

From a boulder in the well, somewhere the rain has stopped

Someone is finding the place where they belong

Everyday is summer somewhere in the world

And the summer boys are headed for the falls to kiss the girls

With their impatient hands groping honey breasts and curls

They are filled with desire

And high in the hills there’s a baby being born

As forgiveness and peace wash over bruises and sores

People bridging the distance over nettles and thorns

Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round

Some things will rise up so that others come down

If the devil don’t dance, heaven won’t shine

It’s a mighty thick haze and it’s a pretty thin line

If the faucet is tightened up the love won’t flow

If the love isn’t bright enough the corn won’t grow

If the night isn’t dark enough the moon won’t glow

A rich man counting money, a tired man counting sheep

While the safe man counts his blessings, the hungry man has beans

There’s a million people praying, raising up their eyes

To what turns out to be the same god, the same sky

We are slightly scared of death, a little bit afraid

So we celebrate everything we can think to celebrate

We shall sing out loud to keep the hounds away

Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round

Some things will rise up so that others come down

If the devil don’t dance, heaven won’t shine

It’s a mighty thick haze and it’s a pretty thin line

If the faucet is tightened up the love won’t flow

If the love isn’t bright enough the corn won’t grow

If the night isn’t dark enough the moon won’t glow

Prisons will crumble and governments will fall

It’s the order of freedom to be preceded by walls

Cause the truth would be worthless if no one ever lied

So we carry our shame in the interest of pride

And we have all these questions to make us go roam

And we’ve got all this distance to make us come home

As the sun burns, a child learns, the tide churns, the world turns

Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round

Some things will rise up so that others come down

If the devil don’t dance, heaven won’t shine

It’s a mighty thick haze and it’s a pretty thin line

If the faucet is tightened up the love won’t flow

If the love isn’t bright enough the corn won’t grow

If the night isn’t dark enough the moon won’t glow
