Lwonesome Tonight

Polly Jean Harvey

Lyrics Translation

Hark the greening of the earth
Curled ferns yet to uncurl
Hark the zingen of the birds
Gurrel yearns yet to ungurrel

Beech and aller, woak and birch
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel's drey
Willow, aspen, elder, larch
Soldier-King on Maundy day

In er satchel, Pepsi fizz
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches
For this man her shepherd is
Parts her bready, her bready lips

Are you Elvis? Are you God?
Jesus sent to win my trust?
"Love Me Tender," are his words
As I've loved you, so you must

Thrice she draws her lips to kiss
Mouthing for his mouth in vain
Thrice her lonesome kisses miss
"My love, will you come back again?"

Hark the greening of the earth
Ouça o reverdecer da terra
Curled ferns yet to uncurl
Samambaias enroladas ainda por desenrolar
Hark the zingen of the birds
Ouça o canto dos pássaros
Gurrel yearns yet to ungurrel
Gurrel anseia ainda por desgurrelar
Beech and aller, woak and birch
Faia e amieiro, carvalho e bétula
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel's drey
Biddle, cabeça de touro, ninho de esquilo
Willow, aspen, elder, larch
Salgueiro, álamo, sabugueiro, lariço
Soldier-King on Maundy day
Rei-Soldado no dia de Maundy
In er satchel, Pepsi fizz
Em sua bolsa, Pepsi efervescente
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches
Sanduíches de amendoim e banana
For this man her shepherd is
Para este homem ela é a pastora
Parts her bready, her bready lips
Parte seus lábios de pão, seus lábios de pão
Are you Elvis? Are you God?
Você é Elvis? Você é Deus?
Jesus sent to win my trust?
Jesus enviado para ganhar minha confiança?
"Love Me Tender," are his words
"Love Me Tender," são suas palavras
As I've loved you, so you must
Como eu te amei, assim você deve
Thrice she draws her lips to kiss
Três vezes ela aproxima seus lábios para beijar
Mouthing for his mouth in vain
Procurando em vão por sua boca
Thrice her lonesome kisses miss
Três vezes seus beijos solitários erram
"My love, will you come back again?"
"Meu amor, você voltará novamente?"
Hark the greening of the earth
Escucha el verdor de la tierra
Curled ferns yet to uncurl
Helechos rizados aún por desenrollar
Hark the zingen of the birds
Escucha el canto de los pájaros
Gurrel yearns yet to ungurrel
Gurrel anhela aún por desgurrelar
Beech and aller, woak and birch
Haya y aliso, roble y abedul
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel's drey
Biddle, cabeza de toro, nido de ardilla
Willow, aspen, elder, larch
Sauce, álamo, saúco, alerce
Soldier-King on Maundy day
Soldado-Rey en el día de la Pascua
In er satchel, Pepsi fizz
En su mochila, Pepsi efervescente
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches
Sándwiches de cacahuete y plátano
For this man her shepherd is
Para este hombre su pastor es
Parts her bready, her bready lips
Abre sus labios, sus labios de pan
Are you Elvis? Are you God?
¿Eres Elvis? ¿Eres Dios?
Jesus sent to win my trust?
¿Jesús enviado para ganar mi confianza?
"Love Me Tender," are his words
"Ámame tiernamente", son sus palabras
As I've loved you, so you must
Como te he amado, así debes hacerlo tú
Thrice she draws her lips to kiss
Tres veces acerca sus labios para besar
Mouthing for his mouth in vain
Murmurando por su boca en vano
Thrice her lonesome kisses miss
Tres veces sus solitarios besos fallan
"My love, will you come back again?"
"Mi amor, ¿volverás otra vez?"
Hark the greening of the earth
Écoute le verdissement de la terre
Curled ferns yet to uncurl
Fougères frisées encore à dérouler
Hark the zingen of the birds
Écoute le zingen des oiseaux
Gurrel yearns yet to ungurrel
Gurrel aspire encore à dégurreler
Beech and aller, woak and birch
Hêtre et aulne, chêne et bouleau
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel's drey
Biddle, tête de taureau, nid d'écureuil
Willow, aspen, elder, larch
Saule, tremble, sureau, mélèze
Soldier-King on Maundy day
Roi-Soldat le jour du Jeudi Saint
In er satchel, Pepsi fizz
Dans son sac, du Pepsi qui pétille
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches
Des sandwiches à la banane et aux cacahuètes
For this man her shepherd is
Pour cet homme, elle est sa bergère
Parts her bready, her bready lips
Elle sépare son pain, ses lèvres de pain
Are you Elvis? Are you God?
Es-tu Elvis ? Es-tu Dieu ?
Jesus sent to win my trust?
Jésus envoyé pour gagner ma confiance ?
"Love Me Tender," are his words
"Aime-moi tendrement," sont ses mots
As I've loved you, so you must
Comme je t'ai aimé, tu dois aussi
Thrice she draws her lips to kiss
Trois fois elle porte ses lèvres pour embrasser
Mouthing for his mouth in vain
Cherchant en vain sa bouche
Thrice her lonesome kisses miss
Trois fois ses baisers solitaires manquent
"My love, will you come back again?"
"Mon amour, reviendras-tu encore ?"
Hark the greening of the earth
Horch, das Ergrünen der Erde
Curled ferns yet to uncurl
Geringelte Farne, die sich noch entrollen müssen
Hark the zingen of the birds
Horch, das Zingen der Vögel
Gurrel yearns yet to ungurrel
Gurrel sehnt sich noch danach, zu entgurreln
Beech and aller, woak and birch
Buche und Erle, Eiche und Birke
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel's drey
Biddle, Stierkopf, Eichhörnchennest
Willow, aspen, elder, larch
Weide, Espe, Holunder, Lärche
Soldier-King on Maundy day
Soldatenkönig am Gründonnerstag
In er satchel, Pepsi fizz
In ihrer Tasche, Pepsi sprudelt
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches
Erdnuss-und-Bananen-Sandwiches
For this man her shepherd is
Für diesen Mann ist sie die Hirtin
Parts her bready, her bready lips
Teilt ihre brotigen, ihre brotigen Lippen
Are you Elvis? Are you God?
Bist du Elvis? Bist du Gott?
Jesus sent to win my trust?
Jesus, gesandt, um mein Vertrauen zu gewinnen?
"Love Me Tender," are his words
„Love Me Tender,“ sind seine Worte
As I've loved you, so you must
Wie ich dich geliebt habe, so musst du
Thrice she draws her lips to kiss
Dreimal zieht sie ihre Lippen zum Kuss
Mouthing for his mouth in vain
Sucht vergeblich nach seinem Mund
Thrice her lonesome kisses miss
Dreimal verfehlen ihre einsamen Küsse
"My love, will you come back again?"
„Meine Liebe, wirst du wieder kommen?“
Hark the greening of the earth
Ascolta il rinverdire della terra
Curled ferns yet to uncurl
Felci arricciate ancora da srotolare
Hark the zingen of the birds
Ascolta il cinguettio degli uccelli
Gurrel yearns yet to ungurrel
Gurrel anela ancora a sgorgare
Beech and aller, woak and birch
Faggio e ontano, quercia e betulla
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel's drey
Biddle, testa di toro, nido di scoiattolo
Willow, aspen, elder, larch
Salice, pioppo, sambuco, larice
Soldier-King on Maundy day
Re-Soldato nel Giovedì Santo
In er satchel, Pepsi fizz
Nella sua borsa, frizzante Pepsi
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches
Panini di arachidi e banana
For this man her shepherd is
Per quest'uomo lei è la pastora
Parts her bready, her bready lips
Divide il suo pane, le sue labbra di pane
Are you Elvis? Are you God?
Sei tu Elvis? Sei tu Dio?
Jesus sent to win my trust?
Gesù inviato per conquistare la mia fiducia?
"Love Me Tender," are his words
"Ama me teneramente," sono le sue parole
As I've loved you, so you must
Come ti ho amato, così devi
Thrice she draws her lips to kiss
Tre volte lei avvicina le sue labbra per un bacio
Mouthing for his mouth in vain
Cercando invano la sua bocca
Thrice her lonesome kisses miss
Tre volte i suoi baci solitari mancano
"My love, will you come back again?"
"Mio amore, tornerai di nuovo?"
