Testi di Sister Self - Alela Diane

Sister Self (originale)

That pole isn’t growing in my black solid sky
Solid sky
And pirate ships pulled these shoulders back
But in morning slumber I gripped the slender palm of my hand
And I felt the soft of my flesh
And I stared into my sister self
And we was running, running, running
We was climbing, we was fighting
We was breathing fast
Praying please
We were singing
We were dancing
We were clapping
Singing, dancing, clapping
We were returning to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells
Returning to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells
But I’ve got to hold my own hand
I’ve got to hold my own hand
And this is my skin I feel
And these are the teeth that I clench
And the hazel of my sight
Plus the colors she wears is mine
O that color she’s wearing is mine
And we was running, running, running
We was climbing, we was fighting
We was breathing fast
Praying please
We were singing
We were dancing
We were clapping
Singing, dancing, clapping
We were returning to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells
We were returning to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells

(traduzione)

Quel polo non sta crescendo nel mio cielo nero e solido
Cielo solido
E le navi pirata hanno tirato indietro queste spalle
Ma nel sonno mattutino ho afferrato il palmo sottile della mia mano
E sentivo la morbidezza della mia carne
E ho fissato me stessa di mia sorella
E noi correvamo, correvamo, correvamo
Stavamo scalando, stavamo combattendo
Stavamo respirando velocemente
Pregando per favore
Stavamo cantando
Stavamo ballando
Stavamo applaudendo
Cantare, ballare, battere le mani
Stavamo tornando sulle colline
Portare secchi prelevati dai pozzi
Tornando sulle colline
Portare secchi prelevati dai pozzi
Ma devo tenermi per mano
Devo tenermi per mano
E questa è la mia pelle che sento
E questi sono i denti che stringo
E il nocciola della mia vista
Inoltre i colori che indossa sono i miei
Oh, quel colore che indossa è mio
E noi correvamo, correvamo, correvamo
Stavamo scalando, stavamo combattendo
Stavamo respirando velocemente
Pregando per favore
Stavamo cantando
Stavamo ballando
Stavamo applaudendo
Cantare, ballare, battere le mani
Stavamo tornando sulle colline
Portare secchi prelevati dai pozzi
Stavamo tornando sulle colline
Portare secchi prelevati dai pozzi
