Несостоявшийся альбом ("творчество участников")

[Lady in Red]

Я в разделе Музыка как-то писала о почти готовых текстах для альбома. Но песни у меня так и не получилось написать, а сами тексты мне до сих пор нравятся и дороги. Пока они на музыку не ложатся - нечего им в Музыке и делать. Познакомлю вас с ними тут.

Если кто пишет песни на чужие англоязычные тексты - попробуйте?..

 

p.s. Ммм... подумалось, может это в ABC должно валяться... тогда прошу перенести.

Lullaby in the E-World (Electronic Lullaby)

 

Oh my sweet little two-meter boy,

let me take you to a dream.

Hold your electronic toy

and follow the laser beam.

 

We shall see the fields of chips,

sound-farms and echo-pools,

you will watch the total eclipse

if using the proper tools.

 

Refrain:

Touching the keyboard of crystal and onyx,

playing a wonderful tune,

you'll conquer the City of Wicked Electronics

glimmering under the moon.

 

Its midi-towers are handmade of stone,

grasses of copper and flowers of steel...

Rule it forever, rule it alone,

revolving the steering wheel.

 

Turn to the left - set the level on "high",

turn to the right - set the volume on "low".

Try to be cautious when learning to fly

'cause you have so far to go.

 

Refrain:

Murmurring voices of whispering shadows...

Twilight has wrapped you around.

You'll see the thousands of flourishing meadows

sleeping so deep and so sound.

 

Oh my sweet little two-meter boy,

let me take you to a dream...

Oh my sweet little two-meter boy,

let me take you to a dream...

Ну АВС тут ни при чём. Это ж не общение на иностранном языке, а тексты. Иначе бы пришлось три четверти музыкального форума туда забабахать.

Согласна .

 

Salamander On Fire

(dedicated to E.Th.A.Hoffmann)

 

 

Looking around

with my rainbow eyes,

Hearing the sound

When my fellow dies,

 

Searching for flame,

what is my name?

 

Stepping inside,

do you feel the heat?

Nowhere to hide

from this hectic beat.

 

Is it a game?

what is my name?

 

Salamander, burning salamander...

 

Refrain:

You can kill me,

well, you can fill me

up to the ultimate,

make me your multimate,

never correcting the wrong thing -

long drink -

 

Gettin' away

at the speed of sound,

lovin' to play

with the lost and found...

 

Are you the same?

What is your name?

 

Putting the crown

on your childish head,

pityful clown,

fear to be misled.

 

Noone to blame...

What is your name?

*whisper* (What is my name?)

 

Salamander, burning salamander...

 

Refrain:

You can bind me,

well, you can find me

just unbelieveable,

hardly forgiveable,

never existing in your world -

pure gold -

*whisper* (The golden snake!)

 

Salamander, burning salamander...

*whisper* (That's what I am!..)

[Lady in Red]

Gate No.1

 

(Spoken) Ladies and Gentlemen departing for Centaur by Joint Interstellar flight 8171 should proceed to the Gate No.1... Gate No.1... Gate No.1...

 

Here you stand in the crowd

Hand in hand with your son.

He's the one that you've got,

All your old friends have gone.

Now you're feeling so strange -

Like an earthling on board,

All you have to arrange

It's the final chord.

 

Right in front of the Gate

You forget all your fears.

Are you cursing your fate? -

Words that nobody hears...

Well you've travelled so far

That Centaur seems near.

For the first time you are

But a passenger here.

 

Look - your child will soon grow

To a man on his own -

I'm afraid you won't know

What a person he's grown.

You wish he would have fun

But he tends to extreme -

And an alien sun

Will shine down to him.

[Lady in Red]

Will You Let Me Stop It?..

 

Drawing on a window glass

With a diamond stylo

Waiting for the time to pass -

It's a net of nylon...

Lift your face up to the sky -

Tell me what you see there

Tell the truth

Tell the lie

Tell we all should be there...

 

Sitting back into the chair

Tell me all the story

Silver sparkles in your hair -

It's the shine of glory.

Waiting for the tear to drop

Please do me a favour:

Let me in

Let me stop

Let me be you neighbour...

 

Refrain:

Will you let me stop it?

Your martyrdom's been never need

Will you let me stop it?

You were a hero - yes, indeed...

Let me stop it...

 

You were to the end of space

With your flagship "Rhody"

Words are nothing but a lace

For an aching body

People always called you "Cap"

Though your name was Christer

Say me "nope"

Say me "yep"

Say, "Forget it sister"

 

Refrain:

Will you let me stop it?

Your martyrdom's been never need

Will you let me stop it?

'Cause you're a hero - yes, indeed...

So let me stop it...

 

Well you might know that she died

When they said, "It's over"

All her love to you was bright

Like a supernova

Now your son is all that left

From this happy marriage

It's a sin

It's a theft

You have missed her buriage

 

Refrain:

Will you let me stop it? -

Come take your son and fly away

Will you let me stop it?

Here are your tickets... Let me say -

Can't you hear them calling?

Your starship's waiting, don't delay

Farewell, farewell...

 

(spoken) Fare thee well Captain Christer, and if forever - fare thee forever...

[Lady in Red]

Предыдущие две песни должны следовать в обратном порядке: сначала Will you let me stop it?, а затем Gate No.1.

 

Забыла в начале написать, что точной датировке тексты уже не поддаются (не обозначено нигде ), но примерно - 1998/1999 годы.

[Lady in Red]

Misguided

 

You were told so many words

By your teachers and by the lords

That you always felt you head like exploding.

Well, you learned from everyone

And when all your tasks were done

You felt that you're a bit in need of reloading

 

You have learned so many things

That the joy that knowledge brings

Is now for you a matter of discussion.

And the woman that you hate -

She becomesthe one you date,

And instead of noble drums you hear the ugly percussion!

 

I know you tried to change your mind

But the fortune is too blind

For to give you any chance to get an answer.

And you should sure become a star

But you know well who you are -

A reporter off the staff, a poor freelancer.

 

Your gurus were misled,

And now when they're dead

You've something in your head -

You were misguided...
