Dirt
Jesse Quin, Richard David Hughes, Thomas Oliver Chaplin, Timothy James Rice-Oxley
It's market day when
They bring the flood
Faster than our feet can run
Swarm of angels from above
All is broken, still they come
And round the oak tree
Air is shaking
Children sleep under the sun
And we go down to the river to pray
Pray for magic and another day
But it's low now, it's like we're fading away
Into the dirt of memory
Along the Silk Road
The fires burn
Where the seats of learning stood
And handsome couples
Would take a turn
Through the wealthy neighborhood
Oh, roll the stone or move the mountain
Wake oh, wake your time has come
And we go down to the river to pray
Pray for magic and another day
But it's low now
It's like we're fading away
Into the dirt of memory
And we go down to the river today
We pray for silence and we pray for grace
But it's low now
Still you're rubbing my face
Into the dirt of memory
Ooh
In a shop in Al-Medina
And a house in the old quarter
And I'll never sleep again
Centuries lived in these stones
I don't think you know
Oh roll the stone or move the mountain
Wake, oh, wake, your time has come
And we go down to the river to pray
Pray for magic and another day
But it's low now
It's like we're fading away
Into the dirt of memory
And we go down to the river today
We pray for silence or we pray for grace
But it's low now
Still you're rubbing my face
Into the dirt of memory
It's market day when
Es ist Markttag, wenn
They bring the flood
Sie die Flut bringen
Faster than our feet can run
Schneller als unsere Füße laufen können
Swarm of angels from above
Schwarm von Engeln von oben
All is broken, still they come
Alles ist gebrochen, trotzdem kommen sie
And round the oak tree
Und um die Eiche herum
Air is shaking
Die Luft zittert
Children sleep under the sun
Kinder schlafen unter der Sonne
And we go down to the river to pray
Und wir gehen zum Fluss, um zu beten
Pray for magic and another day
Beten für Magie und einen weiteren Tag
But it's low now, it's like we're fading away
Aber es ist jetzt niedrig, es ist, als würden wir verblassen
Into the dirt of memory
In den Schmutz der Erinnerung
Along the Silk Road
Entlang der Seidenstraße
The fires burn
Die Feuer brennen
Where the seats of learning stood
Wo die Sitze des Lernens standen
And handsome couples
Und hübsche Paare
Would take a turn
Würden sich abwechseln
Through the wealthy neighborhood
Durch die wohlhabende Nachbarschaft
Oh, roll the stone or move the mountain
Oh, roll den Stein oder beweg den Berg
Wake oh, wake your time has come
Wach auf, oh, wach auf, deine Zeit ist gekommen
And we go down to the river to pray
Und wir gehen zum Fluss, um zu beten
Pray for magic and another day
Beten für Magie und einen weiteren Tag
But it's low now
Aber es ist jetzt niedrig
It's like we're fading away
Es ist, als würden wir verblassen
Into the dirt of memory
In den Schmutz der Erinnerung
And we go down to the river today
Und wir gehen heute zum Fluss
We pray for silence and we pray for grace
Wir beten um Stille und wir beten um Gnade
But it's low now
Aber es ist jetzt niedrig
Still you're rubbing my face
Trotzdem reibst du mein Gesicht
Into the dirt of memory
In den Schmutz der Erinnerung
Ooh
Ooh
In a shop in Al-Medina
In einem Laden in Al-Medina
And a house in the old quarter
Und ein Haus in der Altstadt
And I'll never sleep again
Und ich werde nie wieder schlafen
Centuries lived in these stones
Jahrhunderte lebten in diesen Steinen
I don't think you know
Ich glaube nicht, dass du es weißt
Oh roll the stone or move the mountain
Oh, roll den Stein oder beweg den Berg
Wake, oh, wake, your time has come
Wach auf, oh, wach auf, deine Zeit ist gekommen
And we go down to the river to pray
Und wir gehen zum Fluss, um zu beten
Pray for magic and another day
Beten für Magie und einen weiteren Tag

Aber es ist jetzt niedrig
It's like we're fading away

And we go down to the river to pray
E descemos ao rio para rezar
Pray for magic and another day
Rezar por magia e por outro dia
But it's low now, it's like we're fading away
Mas está baixo agora, é como se estivéssemos desaparecendo
Into the dirt of memory
Na sujeira da memória
Along the Silk Road
Ao longo da Rota da Seda
The fires burn
Os fogos queimam
Where the seats of learning stood
Onde os assentos do conhecimento estavam
And handsome couples
E casais bonitos
Would take a turn

The fires burn
I fuochi bruciano
Where the seats of learning stood
Dove sorgevano i seggi del sapere

Facevano un giro
