Galactic Helm #4 – Weird Recueil de Strane Òrain
A Candle
The room is breathing
In quiet light
Your shadow is moving
Across the night
Nothing is broken
Nothing to prove
The world is still turning
We’re just here too
Your voice is a distance
I like to cross
Not with my feet
Just with my thoughts
And I don’t need more
Than this small flame
The way the dark
Says your name
You’re like a candle
In a wide, wide room
Not for the sunrise
Not for the moon
Just for this moment
Soft and slow
Just for the way
You gently glow
Time is a river
We’re on the shore
We don’t have to
Be anything more
Your eyes are a window
I don’t look through
I just like the light
When it’s near you
No questions tonight
No hands to play
Just let the hours
Pass this way
You’re like a candle
In a wide, wide room
Not for forever
Not for too soon
Just for this moment
Warm and true
Just for the way
The dark loves you
Maybe tomorrow
We’re somewhere else
Different stories
Different selves
But right now the air
Is quiet and kind
And you’re a small light
I don’t try to find
You’re like a candle
Nothing to claim
Nothing to promise
Nothing to name
Just a small fire
In open space
Just a soft light
Time can’t erase
Sans Rien Attendre
Tu me manques, ta présence
Tu me manques, ton silence
Tes bras d’ours me manquent
Ta chaleur, ton espace
Quand tu me tiens sans rien dire
Et que le monde s’efface
J’aime tes bras
J’aime ton étreinte
Je t’aime, tu sais
Mais je n’attends rien
Ta façon d’être calme
Ta façon d’être là
Même quand tu ne parles pas
Tout devient plus bas
J’aime ton calme
J’aime ta présence
Je t’aime, tu sais
Mais je n’attends rien
John et Yoko dans l’air
Les Beatles quelque part
On se comprend sans trop faire
Juste en parlant tard
J’aime tes mondes
J’aime tes chansons
Je t’aime, tu sais
Mais je n’attends rien
Tu changes de couleur
Tu changes de lumière
Artiste caméléon
Tu m’ouvres l’univers
Et sans le vouloir
Tu deviens ma muse
Un fil dans le noir
Qui m’amuse et m’abuse
J’aime tes formes
J’aime tes saisons
Je t’aime, tu sais
Mais je n’attends rien
J’aimerais être plus près de toi
Mais je ne sais pas ce que tu veux
Alors je garde ça pour moi
Et je souris un peu
Without Expecting Anything
I miss you, your presence
I miss you, your silence
I miss your bear arms
Your warmth, your space
When you hold me without a word
And the world fades away
I love your arms
I love your embrace
I love you, you know
But I ask for nothing
The way you are so calm
The way you are just there
Even when you don’t speak
Everything falls quieter
I love your calm
I love your presence
I love you, you know
But I ask for nothing
John and Yoko in the air
The Beatles somewhere
We understand each other without trying too hard
Just by talking late
I love your worlds
I love your songs
I love you, you know
But I ask for nothing
You change your colors
You change your light
Chameleon artist
You open the universe to me
And without meaning to
You become my muse
A thread in the dark
That amuses and confuses me
I love your shapes
I love your seasons
I love you, you know
But I ask for nothing
I’d like to be closer to you
But I don’t know what you want
So I keep it to myself
And I smile a little
Bastante Suave
Todo es mármol, todo es vidrio
Respiramos sin vapor
Las palabras son cuchillas
Pero no cortan, no
La ciudad duerme de pie
Corazones en prisión
Mírame sin acercarte
Sin pulso, sin voz
Tócalo desde lejos
No te quemes aún
El fuego sabe esperar
Como sabes tú
¿Es esto lo bastante suave para ti?
¿O lo hacemos más fuerte, más así?
¿Es esto lo bastante suave para ti?
¿O lo hacemos… arder, arder, arder?
La clase media grita en fila
Nadie quiere ser el primero
Las banderas son de humo
Los dioses, de hierro
Coge este fuego a distancia
No te acerques todavía
Todo tiembla bajo el suelo
Pero nadie lo decía
¿Vienes a mi odisea cósmica?
No hay mapa, no hay control
Solo cuerpos en órbita
Y un motor en el corazón
¿Es esto lo bastante suave para ti?
¿O lo hacemos más fuerte, más así?
¿Es esto lo bastante suave para ti?
¿O lo hacemos… arder, arder, arder?
¿Cuán alto puedes subir sin caer?
Dime dónde está tu límite
Las luces ya no son luces
Son gritos que quieren salir
La clase media está en llamas
Pero baila igual
Bailamos sobre los restos
Como si fuera normal
El aire ya sabe a metal
La noche empieza a sudar
No hay vuelta atrás, no hay señal
Solo un paso más
¿Es esto lo bastante suave para ti?
¿O lo quieres más crudo, más así?
¿Es esto lo bastante suave para ti?
¿O lo hacemos… arder, arder, arder?
Más cerca
Más fuerte
Más rápido
Más dentro
Rompe
Aprieta
Respira
Quema
Las paredes ya no existen
El suelo empieza a ceder
Todo lo que era promesa
Ahora quiere morder
Coge este fuego en tus manos
Mira cómo aprende a vivir
El mundo pide más sangre
Y tú empiezas a sonreír
¿Es esto lo bastante suave para ti?
¿O lo quieres brutal, hasta el fin?
¿Es esto lo bastante suave para ti?
¿O lo hacemos… arder, arder, arder?
¿Qué deseas?
¿Puedes sostener este fuego?
Quite Gentle
Everything is marble, everything is glass
We breathe without leaving steam
Words are knives
But they don’t cut, no
The city sleeps standing up
Hearts in prison
Look at me without coming closer
Without pulse, without voice
Touch it from far away
Don’t burn yourself yet
Fire knows how to wait
Like you do
Is this gentle enough for you?
Or do we make it harder, more like this?
Is this gentle enough for you?
Or do we make it… burn, burn, burn?
The middle class screams in line
Nobody wants to go first
Flags are made of smoke
Gods are made of iron
Take this fire from a distance
Don’t come closer yet
Everything trembles underground
But nobody said it
Will you come to my cosmic odyssey?
No map, no control
Only bodies in orbit
And an engine in the heart
Is this gentle enough for you?
Or do we make it harder, more like this?
Is this gentle enough for you?
Or do we make it… burn, burn, burn?
How high can you climb without falling?
Tell me where your limit is
Lights are no longer lights
They’re screams trying to get out
The middle class is on fire
But keeps on dancing
We dance on the remains
As if it were normal
The air already tastes like metal
The night begins to sweat
No way back, no sign
Just one more step
Is this gentle enough for you?
Or do you want it rawer, more like this?
Is this gentle enough for you?
Or do we make it… burn, burn, burn?
Closer
Harder
Faster
Deeper
Break
Tighten
Breathe
Burn
The walls no longer exist
The ground begins to give
Everything that was promise
Now wants to bite
Take this fire in your hands
Watch how it learns to live
The world asks for more blood
And you begin to smile
Is this gentle enough for you?
Or do you want it brutal, to the end?
Is this gentle enough for you?
Or do we make it… burn, burn, burn?
What do you desire?
Can you hold this fire?
Se Mi Ascolti
Non so se mi ascolti
O se passi così
Come passa la pioggia
Sui vetri di qui
Io parlo piano
Per non farmi male
Le parole cadono
E non fanno rumore
Io resto qui
Con quello che sei
Con quello che non mi darai mai
Se mi ascolti, dimmi solo che ci sei
Non ti chiedo niente, lo sai
Io ti adoro, ma non so come si fa
A tenere acceso quello che non verrà
Se mi ascolti, anche solo per un po’
Io mi fermo, poi dopo vedrò
Io ti adoro, ma resto così
Con le mani vuote e il cuore qui
Ti guardo andare
Senza chiamarti mai
Ho imparato il silenzio
Dai tuoi “forse” e “chissà”
Ogni sera è uguale
Ma io resto sveglio
A parlare con l’ombra
Del tuo profilo
Io resto qui
Senza difese
Con quello che non mi prometti mai
Se mi ascolti, dimmi solo che ci sei
Non ti chiedo niente, lo sai
Io ti adoro, ma non so come si fa
A tenere acceso quello che non verrà
Se mi ascolti, anche solo per un po’
Io mi fermo, poi dopo vedrò
Io ti adoro, ma resto così
Con le mani vuote e il cuore qui
Forse è solo stanchezza
Forse è solo così
Amare qualcuno
Che non sceglie mai te
Se mi ascolti, non cambiare per me
Non promettere niente, perché
Io ti adoro, e questo lo sai
Ma non tutto ha un domani, vedrai
Se mi ascolti, anche solo per un po’
Io respiro, poi dopo no
Io ti adoro… e resto così
Con le mani vuote e il cuore qui
Non so se mi ascolti
Ma io… sì
If You Listen To Me
I don’t know if you listen to me
Or if you just pass by
Like the rain passes
On these windows here
I speak softly
So I don’t hurt myself
Words fall down
And make no sound
I stay here
With what you are
With what you will never give me
If you listen to me, just tell me that you’re here
I’m not asking for anything, you know
I adore you, but I don’t know how
To keep alive what will never come
If you listen to me, even just for a while
I’ll stop, and then I’ll see
I adore you, but I stay like this
With empty hands and my heart here
I watch you go
Without ever calling you
I learned silence
From your “maybe” and “who knows”
Every evening is the same
But I stay awake
Talking to the shadow
Of your profile
I stay here
Without defenses
With what you never promise me
If you listen to me, just tell me that you’re here
I’m not asking for anything, you know
I adore you, but I don’t know how
To keep alive what will never come
If you listen to me, even just for a while
I’ll stop, and then I’ll see
I adore you, but I stay like this
With empty hands and my heart here
Maybe it’s just tiredness
Maybe it’s just like this
To love someone
Who never chooses you
If you listen to me, don’t change for me
Don’t promise anything, because
I adore you, and you know that
But not everything has a tomorrow, you’ll see
If you listen to me, even just for a while
I breathe, and then I don’t
I adore you… and I stay like this
With empty hands and my heart here
I don’t know if you listen to me
But I… do
A’ Gairm Thar An Astar
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Anns a’ cheò, anns a’ mhuir
Chan eil fhios am cluinn thu mi
Chan eil fhios am bi thu ann
A’ gairm, a’ gairm
Thar an astar
A’ gairm, a’ gairm
Thar an oidhche
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
Tha do sgàil anns a’ ghaoith
Tha do shàmhchair anns an uisge
Tha mi a’ coiseachd gun lorg
Tha mi a’ feitheamh gun fhacal
A’ gairm, a’ gairm
Thar an astar
A’ gairm, a’ gairm
Thar an oidhche
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
Chan eil mi ag iarraidh freagairt
Chan eil mi ag iarraidh soidhne
Chan eil mi ach a’ leigeil
Mo ghuth dhan adhar
Ma ruigeas e thu
Bidh e mar an ceò
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
Ma chailleas e thu
Bidh e mar an tonn
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
A’ gairm, a’ gairm
Thar an astar
A’ gairm, a’ gairm
Gun tilleadh, gun chrìoch
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
Tha mi a’ gairm d’ ainm
Agus tha an saoghal ag èisteachd
Calling Across The Distance
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
I am calling your name
In the mist, in the sea
I don’t know if you will hear me
I don’t know if you will be there
Calling, calling
Across the distance
Calling, calling
Through the night
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
Your shadow is in the wind
Your silence is in the water
I am walking without a trace
I am waiting without a word
Calling, calling
Across the distance
Calling, calling
Through the night
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
I am not asking for an answer
I am not asking for a sign
I am only letting
My voice into the air
If it reaches you
It will be like the mist
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
If it misses you
It will be like the wave
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
Calling, calling
Across the distance
Calling, calling
Without return, without end
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
I am calling your name
And the world is listening
