Текст песни Red Elephant (Born Ruffians) с переводом

When am I supposed to say so long?

When am I supposed to say so long?

When I fall in love 'fore dusk is dawn

When you take my hand across the lawn

With the eyes so sweet they’re like a fawn

Red elephant is wet and long

How am I supposed to wash you off?

Rungs of bad poems I’ve hacked and coughed

But I have to spare a breath for you

Which I’ll take, before we make anew

Our hearts will take a stroll for two

Our feet will take the avenue

And walk in unison, so cute

Red elephant is turning blue

Why am I here when you’re over there?

Let’s meet at the fountains in Dundas Square

And who am I supposed to be with you?

I’ll wait 'til you say and pretend I knew

Because if it’s true that walls can talk

How mine would brag of tears I’ve sobbed

When thinking of the way we walked

Along the paths of sideway chalk

Forever under ticking clock

Where you and I are free to flock

What can I write when I know it’s wrong?

Slapping my knee to my own damn song

And where can we go when the sinking stops?

To the pit of my chest as it drops and drops…

Put your head upon my chest, it breathes

And my fingers through your hair they weave

And your shoulders are the perfect sea

In which I get lost invariably

Oh the elephant is up to sea

If it meets the peach fish underneath

And when I am you and you are me

We are stirred as spoons in lover’s tea

Put your head upon my chest, it breathes

And my fingers through your hair they weave

And your shoulders are the perfect sea

In which I get lost invariably

Oh the elephant is up to sea

If it meets the peach fish underneath

And when I am you and you are me

We are stirred as spoons in lover’s tea

Put your head upon my chest, it breathes

And my fingers through your hair they weave

And your shoulders are the perfect sea

In which I get lost invariably

Oh the elephant is up to sea

If it meets the peach fish underneath

And when I am you and you are me

We are stirred as spoons in lover’s tea

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
