Текст песни Once (An Cat Dubh) с переводом

Once, when I was dead

And lying still upon a dirty bed

A hag went through my clothes

— her fingers cracked and dryer than a bone

I screamed (but just in my head)

This corpse which lay upon a farmers bed

But my watch, my wallet was gone;

She was deceived and disappointed at every turn

A battle — thats what had passed

And me just a footsoldier killed in the mud

With a hole next to my heart;

At least thats what it seemed like just at the start

But the hole was filled by her hand

As she groped around for something she could take

I guess, the spoils of war

Should just lie back and then complain no more

So this — could this be the key?

To my general sexual inability —

To feel, the victim of theft

And me without a heart left in my chest
