Текст песни Stolen Fire (Janis Ian) с переводом

When we kissed last night I knew the story

It’s the same old, same old song

We battled for the passion and the glory

But we loved too long

When the new wears off, the weak ones fade

Some whore moves in for the kill

I could hear her thunder in the love we made

I can hear it still

It was singing in your veins, every time you touched me

It was written on your face when you said that you loved me

You’ve been stealing fire

You’ve been bringing it home

Stoking the coals of desire

Stolen fire — I might have burned as bright

But I could not hold a candle to that light

Of stolen fire

Was she all that good? Was I all that bad?

Did you have to take notes in the dark?

Have you taught her how to do all the things that I taught you?

Did our years leave a mark?

I know it’s not cool to be angry. I know it’s so nineties to care

But she ate from off my table. She was treated like a sister

Thought I knew her well — but you knew her better

You’ve been stealing fire

You’ve been bringing it home

Stoking the coals of desire

Stolen fire — I might have burned as bright

But I could not hold a candle to that light

Of stolen fire

Shine on — live your life as lovers

Baby I’m gone. Who knows what I’ll discover?

As the years get born, and your circles never close

You will find some thorns in that innocent rose

And you will pluck out her heart

And she’ll know what I’m feeling

'Cause old habits die hard, and

You’ll be stealing fire

You’ll be bringing it home

Stoking the coals of desire

Stolen fire — she thinks she burns that bright

But she can’t hold a candle to that light

No she’ll never hold a candle… to that light
