Tony Cuffe - The Weary Pund o’ Tow dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre


Translation

The Meagre Pound of Yarn


I gave my wife a stone1of raw flax fibre
As good as any that ever grew
And all that she has made (spun) out of that
Is one miserable puny pound of yarn2
 
The meagre pound, the meagre pound
The meagre pound of yarn
I think my wife will grow old and die
Before she spins her yarn
 
A bottle sat in a cupboard
Beyond by the fireplace
And indeed, she took another suck (from it)
To wet the dusty yarn
 
The meagre pound, the meagre pound
The meagre pound of yarn
I think my wife will grow old and die
Before she spins her yarn
 
I cried, “For shame, you miserable woman
Go spin your tuft of yarn!”
She took the rock and with a knock
Broke it over my head
 
The meagre pound, the meagre pound
The meagre pound of yarn
I think my wife will grow old and die
Before she spins her yarn
 
At last I sang with joy because her feet
Went skipping over the hill (i.e. she left me)
And before I wouldo marry another termagant
I would dangle in a noose3
 
The meagre pound, the meagre pound
The meagre pound of yarn
I think my wife will grow old and die
Before she spins her yarn
 
So come all you jolly bachelors
Who would like to be married
I hope you will be advised
Take this note from me
A single life is free from strife
From sorrow, grief and woe
And also, a wife will be the death of you
With the meagre pound of yarn
 
The meagre pound, the meagre pound
The meagre pound of yarn
I think my wife will grow old and die
Before she spins her yarn
 
The meagre pound, the meagre pound
The meagre pound of yarn
I think my wife will grow old and die
Before she spins her yarn
 
  • 1. the old Scottish measure: stane (stone in English) is equivalent to fourteen pounds
  • 2. I’m translating “tow” as “yarn” for here for convenience, but it is, in fact, a very specific kind of yarn: the short fibres of the flax plant which is extracted by hand from the raw plant and used to make linen. A large quantity of raw flax is required to yield a small quantity of tow. The narrator of this song is unhappy with the quantity of tow his wife has managed to produce from the 14 lbs of raw flax he gave her.
  • 3. the word “tow” also is used for the hangman’s rope

Dik Dik - Negli occhi miei dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre
2025.01.06.

In my eyes





The stars are already in the sky
Another night will fall
And you, like a flower
Will bow upon yourself
And sleep will softly brush you now
 

Then silence will cover you
The darkness around us
From your warm forehead
You will melt away your thoughts
And wake in my eyes
 

Light on your face
You will be another woman
Yet your face will remain
With the sweetness that you have
And by my side, you will rest
 

I’ll be here, don’t wake up now!
I’ll be here, don’t betray me now!
I’ll be here...
I’ll be here...
I’ll be here, don’t betray me now!
 

Already the stars in the sky
Another night will fall
And you, like a flower
Will bow upon yourself
Then you will shine in my eyes
In my eyes
 

I’ll be here, don’t wake up now!
I’ll be here, don’t betray me now!
I’ll be here...
I’ll be here...
I’ll be here, don’t betray me now!
 


Dik Dik - Dimenticherai dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

You will forget)





Let your mind run free and wild
Do only what your heart feels inside
Like a young horse on an open field
Let it gallop until it has no breath to yield
And you'll see it return to me
 

(You will forget) her eyes
(You will forget) her hands
(You will forget) her love
And only my arms will you feel
(You will forget, you will forget, you will forget)
And in my eyes, you'll lose yourself
In my eyes, you'll lose yourself
 

Look far away, beyond the horizon
Then jump into the water, leap off the bridge
And, floating through the sea of people
Let yourself go, let the current carry you
You'll always end up coming back to me
 

(You will forget) her eyes
(You will forget) her hands
You will forget her love
And only my arms will you feel
(You will forget, you will forget, you will forget)
And in my eyes, you'll lose yourself
In my eyes, you'll lose yourself
(You'll lose yourself... in my eyes)
(You will forget, you will forget, you will forget)
And only my arms will you feel...
 


Dik Dik - Windy dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

Windy





If you ask me, 'Tell me who she is'
If you still wonder why
If since that day you’ve lived for her
I’ll say it was Windy
 

If you can’t tell me where you saw her
If you don’t remember her face
If now that day feels like a dream
I’m sure it was Windy
 

But Windy, I don’t know who she is
No one knows why
You see her once, and then
She never returns
(She never returns)
She never returns
(She never returns)
 

But Windy, I don’t know who she is
No one knows why
You see her once, and then
She never returns
(She never returns)
She never returns
(She never returns)
 

Oh, I know well what it means
I, too, once spent a day with her
I, too, remember only her gaze
And her name: Windy
 

I, too, wish to know who she is
I, too, still wonder why
To me, it also feels like I can’t
Live without Windy
 

I, too, wish to know who she is
I, too, still wonder why
To me, it also feels...

Beautiful Story





Memories, memories
Oh Memories, memories
Memories, memories
 

Yeah, I finally found you
A shining light reflected in the darkness
When I'm always around you
I feel alive again
Even when the light dims
Even when it’s hard to breathe
Yeah, I already know
You're the reason I exist
 

Baby, all I want is you
'Cause I
 

Just like a beautiful story
No tears, just light on me
'Cause you're the one who's perfect to me
Don't worry, it's alright
I'll be by your side forever
You're my first and my last
'Cause you're the light who's perfect for me
This is our highlight
 

Lift my drooping head
Make me smile
Light up my darkness
You melt my frozen heart
The reason that makes me smile
The reason that makes me sing
You're the one I've waited all my life
 

Baby, all I want is you
'Cause I
 

Just like a beautiful story
No tears, just light on me
'Cause you're the one who's perfect to me
Don't worry, it's alright
I'll be by your side forever
You're my first and my last
'Cause you're the light who's perfect for me
This is our highlight
 

This is our highlight
This is our highlight
 

In the distant future, we
Even if we drift apart, we will meet again
I’ll always be here
Don't worry, our light is forever
Our light is forever
 

Just like a beautiful story
No tears, just light on me
'Cause you're the one who's perfect to me (Perfect to me, baby)
Don't worry, it's alright
I'll be by your side forever
You're my first and my last (Be forever)
'Cause you're the light who's perfect to me
Forever, it's alright
 

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Forever, it's alright
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Forever, it's alright
