Текст песни Saint Dymphna (Jolie Holland) с переводом

Back when I was living in the Quarter

You had just moved in with Trouble’s daughter

I was insisting that I loved you better than her

All of the rhymes that I committed

I left them to lie in the sun for a minute

I couldn’t bear to be a sinner in your sweet name

What do you mean by that?

Do you mean to break my heart?

Do you mean to break my heart in two?

Down on the cobblestones where I found you

Way out on Rampart by Toulouse

Come on upstairs, I’ll tell you my story, I’ll sing you my song

You know that the cold ground was my bed last night

Blanket of clouds, stars for my nightlight

All that I had was a pocketful of prayers and unanswered dreams

What do you mean by that?

Do you mean to break my heart?

Do you mean to break my heart in two?

I’m calling on Dymphna to heal and protect us

Remember your sisters down in this world below

I been in the trenches and I’m here to tell you it’s a hard row to hoe

Most of my heroes died in the gutter

Johnson and Foster, MacTell, and Hurston

I follow them down and ride with the current that’s pulling me home

What do you mean by that?

Do you mean to break my heart?

Do you mean to break my heart in two?
