Testi di The Garden - PJ Harvey

The Garden (originale)

And he was walking in the garden
And he was walking in the night
And he was singing a sad love song
And he was praying for his life
And the stars came out around him
He was thinking of his sins
And he’s looking at his song-bird
And he’s looking at his wings
There, inside the garden
Came another with his lips
Said «won't you come and be my lover
Let me give you a little kiss
And he came knelt down before him
And fell upon his knees
I will give you gold and mountains
If you stay a while with me
And there was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place
There, inside the garden
They kissed and the sun rose
And he walked a little further
And he found he was alone
And the wind it gathered round him
He was thinking of his sins
And he’s looking for his song-bird
He was looking for his wings

(traduzione)

E stava passeggiando in giardino
E stava camminando nella notte
E stava cantando una triste canzone d'amore
E pregava per la sua vita
E le stelle uscirono intorno a lui
Stava pensando ai suoi peccati
E sta guardando il suo uccello canoro
E sta guardando le sue ali
Là, dentro il giardino
Ne venne un altro con le labbra
Disse «non verrai e sarai il mio amante
Lascia che ti dia un piccolo bacio
E si inginocchiò davanti a lui
E cadde in ginocchio
Ti darò oro e montagne
Se rimani un po' con me
E ci sono stati problemi
Prendere posto
Guaio
Prendere posto
Là, dentro il giardino
Si baciarono e sorse il sole
E ha camminato ancora un po'
E ha scoperto di essere solo
E il vento si raccolse intorno a lui
Stava pensando ai suoi peccati
E sta cercando il suo uccello canoro
Stava cercando le sue ali
