Текст песни The Light (Jefferson Starship) с переводом

I want to go to the stars

I want to go to the stars

I want to go for the morning star

She woke from a start from a dream of stars

Let’s talk about metaphysics she sighed in her bvd’s

She didn’t need comfort just some verbal intercourse

A dance around the intelligence tree

Where was the light before it came here?

Who held the power to begin the spin?

What is in store? what am I here for?

Is it love? is it war? is there more?

There she stands at my mind again

The age of poetry had begun

Wasn’t that a time for love?

Wasn’t that a time for imagination?

Wasn’t that a time for the light?

Go out and stuff the universe into your eyes

Out together on the streets

At the barricades or in the sheets

What a scintillating bitch with her eyes on the light

«Let's go to hell together» in her eyes

Why do we remember the past and not the future?

What’s inside a black hole? What is the nature of the universe?

How does it work? Which way is west in space?

Is there sex in heaven? Is it the best?

Connect me with my intellect, she lied

You can’t hide the sexual drive

Friction makes sparks, sparks make fire

Fire makes heat and the heat will endure 'til the

Animal comes with a ferocity not unlike

You and me in the throes of poetry

A lover’s eye can stare an eagle blind

A lover’s ear can hear the lowest sound

A lover’s lip taste like the dream

I know you like it on top don’t stop

Wasn’t that a time for the light?

Wasn’t that a time for bright ideas?

Wasn’t that a time for love and danger?

Go out and stuff the universe into your eyes

The only answer that I have found

Above the sky or below the ground

Is that there are no answers

There never were any answers

There will never be any answers

And as Gertrude stein said, «that's the answer»

I’m not afraid of the future

I’m not afraid of ideas

I’m not afraid to shake the foundation

Of the wonder years

These are visions of tomorrow

These are visions of the strength of ideas

Like matter and energy, ideas shape the sky

Of the future years

In my world, there are no hungry children

In my world, love is true

In my world, teachers get paid more than baseball players

In my world, there is you, but

In the real world, people get hungry

In the real world, people need love

In the real world, people need food and light and ideas

And hope and love and a soothing human touch

Just like they’re

Standing in the presence of god

Standing in the halls of imagination

Every boy a lion, every girl a tiger

It just takes a moment to step through the fire

Adventure beckons from above

The age of poetry begins again with love

Isn’t this a time for the light?

Isn’t this a time for imagination?

Isn’t this a time for great new ideas?

Go out and stuff the universe into your eyes

Isn’t this a time for love?

Isn’t this a time to shake the foundations?

I know you like it on top, don’t stop

Isn’t this a time for the light

I am not afraid of the future
