Скорость звука
How long before I get in
Before it starts, before I begin
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like
Where to?
Where do I go?
If you've never tried then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine
Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get
Is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna can stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I start before I can stop
Before I see thing the right way up
All that noise, all that sound
All those places that i have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Ideas that you'll never find
Or the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China... all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read
Or the light that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me
All that noise, all that sound
All those places that i have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
All those signs I knew what they meant
Something you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent
Ooh
Words go flying at the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand
Сколько времени проходит прежде, чем я проникаю внутрь,
Прежде, чем это начинается, прежде, чем я начинаю?
Сколько времени проходит прежде, чем ты соглашаешься,
Прежде, чем я узнаю, что это за ощущение?
Куда?
Куда я иду?
Если ты сама не пыталась делать это, ты никогда не узнаешь,
Сколько времени мне нужно, чтобы по склону взобраться
На вершину этой моей горы.
Я смотрю вверх, ночью я смотрю вверх:
Планеты вращаются со скоростью света.
Взбирайся на дерево.
Каждый твой шанс,
Это шанс, который ты сама ловишь.
Сколько ещё я буду стоять
С закопанной в песок головой?
Я начинаю прежде, чем могу остановиться,
Прежде, чем увижу всё в правильном свете:
Весь этот шум, все эти звуки,
Все эти места, которые я нашёл.
И птицы летают со скоростью звука,
И показывают, как всё началось.
Птицы взлетали из-под земли.
Если бы ты увидела, ты бы поняла…
…мысли, которые никогда не придут тебе в голову,
Или изобретатели никогда бы не спроектировали
Здания, которые ты воздвигаешь.
‘Япония и Китай…, утопающие в свете’ –
Это знак, который я не смог истолковать,
Или свет, который не смог увидеть –
В некоторые вещи просто нужно верить,
А другие являются неразрешимыми для меня головоломками.
Весь этот шум, все эти звуки,
Все эти места, которые я нашёл.
И птицы летают со скоростью звука,
И показывают, как всё началось.
Птицы взлетали из-под земли.
Если бы ты увидела, ты бы поняла…
Все эти знаки. Я знал, что они означали:
Что-то, что нельзя изобрести.
Некоторые из них придумывают, некоторые – посылают,
Ооо
Слова летают со скоростью звука,
И показывают, как всё началось.
Птицы взлетали из-под земли.
Если бы ты увидела, ты бы поняла…
О, когда ты увидишь это, ты поймёшь…
Перевод песни
Sound speed
How long before I get in
Before it starts, before I begin
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like
Where to?
Where do I go?
If you’ve never tried
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine
Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get
Is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna can stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I start before I can stop
Before I see the right way up
All that noise, all that sound
I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it
Ideas that you'll never find
Or the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China ... all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read
Or the light that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me
All that noise, all that sound
I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it
I knew what they meant
Something you can't invent
Some get made
Ooh
Words go flying at the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it
Understand, then you understand
How much time passes before I get inside,
Before it starts, before I start?
How much time passes before you agree,
Before I know what that feeling is?
Where?
Where am I going?
If you yourself have not tried to do this, you will never know
How much time do I need to climb up the slope
To the top of this my mountain.
I look up, at night I look up:
Planets rotate at the speed of light.
Climb a tree.
Every chance you have
This is a chance that you yourself catch.
How much longer will I stand
With your head buried in the sand?
I start before I can stop,
Before I see everything in the right light:
All this noise, all these sounds,
All these places I found.
And the birds fly at the speed of sound,
And show how it all began.
Birds flew out of the ground.
If you saw, you would understand ...
... thoughts that never come to your mind
Or inventors would never design
The buildings that you build.
‘Japan and China ... drowning in the light of’ -
This is a sign that I could not interpret,
Or a light that could not see -
Some things just need to be believed
And others are intractable puzzles for me.
All this noise, all these sounds,
All these places I found.
And the birds fly at the speed of sound,
And show how it all began.
Birds flew out of the ground.
If you saw, you would understand ...
All these signs. I knew what they meant:
Something that cannot be invented.
Some of them come up, some - send,
Ltd
Words fly at the speed of sound
And show how it all began.
Birds flew out of the ground.
If you saw, you would understand ...
Oh, when you see this, you will understand ...
