Текст песни The Simplest Thing (Hey Rosetta!) с переводом

The rain starts off and it wakes you up

You can’t sleep with that racket on the roof

You get up slow but you can’t get going

It seems this morning the lowness has won

Did you stop to see mediocrity and your self pity?

They were stealing a kiss, look at their lips, still shiny

Did you notice that happiness

Happens less the more often you stop to find where it’s been hiding

You say, «It's not my fault that I get so low

There’s a weight on my soul that just keeps pulling me down

It’s pulling me down, I swear it»

So come on by my house and unleash me your monsters

With you at the helm we’ll go crashing around together

Don’t mistake some initial hate for something more than cautionary

Cause baby this is love, I’ll come down to hell to keep you company

Of all the days we’ve got we should be screaming out…

Of all the days we’ve got we should be screaming out…

Of all the days we’ve got we should be singing…

What’s to be done? One hundred and one

In a tent for twelve with fingers and elbows

In innocent ribs, we’re minding our business

We’re just minding our business instead of minding our minds

In times when the storms could ravage your clothes

The sound and the colour could render you blind

And the throes of a nightmare can sing you to sleep

Then some foreign machine wakes you up at a mean hour

But heaven is there, it’s under your hair

It hides in the noon noise way up in the air

Like a bird on the breeze

Waiting for you and maybe me too

What’s there to do? One hundred and two

Are out on the doorstep and they’re pushing the bolts back

They’re wanting in, they’re humming our hymn

Everybody’s singing like beautiful birds…

Everybody’s singing like beautiful birds…

Everybody’s singing like beautiful birds…

In the trees, listen to it, and it’s easy man, you can do it too

Sing: I know what I want

I know what I need

Cause it’s the simplest thing

It’s the simplest thing

It’s the simplest thing

Cause it’s the simplest thing

Of all the nights we’ve got we should be stepping out…

Of all the nights we’ve got we should be stepping out…

Of all the nights we touch we should be swinging around from house to house

If I could cheer you up that would mean so much

Clowns in love and just laughing it off, laughing it off, laughing it off

You say, «It's not my fault that I get so low

But to drown you too, that’s a sick way to love, it’s a sick way to love

It’s a fucking sick way to love»
