Текст песни Perfume (Hymns From Nineveh) с переводом

I recall my mother’s voice

Singing solemn hymns of joy

Hours in the living room

The clock was ticking

And her perfume

Filled the room…

I remember Rosie’s eyes

And how a heart could swell

Inside the chest of a child

Seconds turned to hours when

I came so close that I could sense

Her scent filling the sky…

I remember cigarettes and alcohol

Sweet 16

And bored 18

Raging against the machine

Revolutionary dreams

Broken hearts and poetry…

I remember reading Revelations

The Apocalypse coming any time soon

I got so scared

I couldn’t sleep for a year

Still, years later, I slept with the lights on

Sometimes I still do

(Shashe, Notwane, Chobe)

I remember when I first saw you

You were shining like a highway

Leading out of misery

I remember yesterday

When you asked me

In your childish way:

«Do you think time will have its way with us?»

And I said: «Babe, it already has»

And I remember your eyes

When I said: «Life is now or never»

And you said: «Babe, I think we''ll live forever»

And your eyes were so full of hope when you said it

That it made me cry

I still don’t know why

It made me recall my mother’s voice

Singing solemn hymns of joy

Hours in the livingroom

The clock was ticking

And her perfume

Filled the room…
