Delicate Sound of Thunder (I)
Deixa un comentariL’avi pensa, veient
les ombres ballant a les parets,
quina mena de feres som,
que morim de velles
al llit?
Per què quedar-se fins al final depriment
de la festa,
quan ja tot són fulles caigudes
sobre la pura neu bruta
i llavors tot bruteja
perquè fer net no val la pena?
…
El vell es tira enrere el barret
i somriu,
es recolza a la paret
i encén una altra pipa.
I’ve got something I need to say
I’ll miss you my darling child
I’m so sorry
I gotta go away
So say goodbye
‘cos daddy’s going to heaven now
So say goodbye
‘cos daddy’s going to heaven now.
Remember I’ve no regrets
Remember I’ll never forget
You gave me joy and blind delight
You gave me faith and shone so bright
You gave me reason and I’m proud of you
Be good, be strong, be honest and true
So say goodbye
‘cos daddy’s going to heaven now
…
I’m so tired now, so frail and so weak
I’ve been fighting so long I need release
I’ve never been scared, scared to die
Don’t mourn for me, don’t even cry
when sleep comes to end this pain
I know in my heart I will see you again
So say goodbye cos daddy’s going to heaven now
Say goodbye ‘cos daddy’s going to heaven now
…
Say goodbye
…
