Текст песни The First Person on Earth (Tracy Chapman) с переводом

From the water

From the rock and the dirt

You were

The first person on earth

Oh, the mountains

And the oceans

Witnessed your birth

The first person on earth

By a river

On the banks of a sandy shore

Untouched, clean, fresh and pure

The first person on earth

In the light of the sun

You emerged

To see the good in the world

Before the pain and the scourge

The first person on earth

In the quiet in the calm

Before the storm

You heard the dream for a love

That never dies in a poem

The first person on earth

And I’m in love with you

I’m in love with a dream

That can not be realized

Held or seen

By the last person on earth

After the earthquakes the hurricanes

The fires and floods

I’m jaded, cynical, angry and glum

The worlds too absurd and obscene

For true love

And more than happy to let me become

The last person on earth

To let me stand on a rock

The muddy waters surround

Abandoned alone

The end soon to come

As the last person on earth

As the waters rise

At the end of the world

Thought I bear the weight

Of the rock and the dirt

I know I’m worthy of your love

As the last person on the earth

As the water rises

At the end of the world

Thought I bear the weight

Of the rock and the dirt

I know I’m worthy of your love

As the last person on the earth
