Turin Brakes - Long Distance

Well if this gets ugly,
I'd swear,
This ain't our last chance,
The vultures that circle,
My head,
Are flying alongside,
The world's turning.

I let somebody get under my skin,
Long distance losing is all that I've seen,
Now there's a river,
Now there's a river.

Nothing can save me,
My reserve betrayed me,
It calmed the hurricanes,
I'm burning to get there,
The middle of nowhere,
Storm warnings flicker while,
The world's turning,

I let somebody get under my skin,
Long distance losing is all that I've seen,
Now there's a river,
Now there's a river.

I let somebody get under my skin,
Long distance losing is all that I've seen,
Now there's a river,
Now there's a river

Fantastico finale di "Provaci ancora Sam" di Woody Allen

Epiloghi di Derek Walcott

Epiloghi







Le cose non esplodono:
vengon meno, sbiadiscono,


come il sole sbiadisce dalla carne,
come la schiuma esala nella sabbia,


come il fulmineo lampo dell'amore
non ha un epilogo tonante,


muore invece con un suono di fiori
che sbiadiscono come fa la carne


sotto la pietra pomice sudante,
tutto concorre a dare questa forma


finché restiamo soli col silenzio
che circonda la testa di Beethoven.


Endings


Thing do not esplode:
they fail, they fade,


as sunlight fades from the flesh,
as the foam drains quick in the sand,


even love’s lighting flash
has no thunderous end,


it dies with the sound
of flowers fading like the flesh


from sweating pumice stone,
everything shapes this


till we are left
with the silence that surrounds Beethoven’s head.

Buon compleanno, Franco!
