THE LYRICIST’S LAMENT

Music by Sebastijan Duh
Lyrics by John Greaves

I was asked to write a song
I said “Easy,” it’s “easy peasy”
Just find a word at the end of the line
Then you gotta make it rhyme
With love and stars above
It won’t take you very long

But I found out that I was wrong
Wasn’t thinking, had I been drinking?
Words don’t fall like rain from the sky
But a lot of little jewels
Like tiny molecules
Could grow up to be a song

Try to sing it using verbal dexterity
You can wing it schmoozing perfect sincerity
You could be climbing a stairway to heaven
Once you’re up it you’ll be stuck like a puppet on a string

So we’re coming to the end the conclusion
No illusion,
This little story’s hit the end of the road
And it’s just a bunch of sounds
To please the ear
So nice to hear
And you got another job
Done and dusted

Tu t'enfuies
Je regarde défiler ton ombre
Et la nuit tu penses à chaque seconde
Perdue dans ce monde
Il y aura toujours quelqu'un pour te voir
Et tu ries
Comme si c'était la première fois
C'est la vie qui te souffle toujours
Une chanson d'amour
Ça te fait oublier que tu es seul

ES:

Tanto a pasado y
Mi historia sigue en el telediario
Yo he dejado algo más que un legado
Que ni dios había imaginado
No te metas conmigo niño
Porque soy parte de tu pasado
Y por mas que lo intentes
No podrías cambiarlo

Todos venimos de la arena
De la arena que tu sientes en los pies
Cuando dejas huellas en el mar
Al atardecer

Todos venimos de la mar
No no
No esperes a que suba la marea
Porque todo puede acabar

Soy el regalo más preciado
Y la existencia te he otorgado
Le doy lugar a tu vida
A tu vida a tu boca tu mente tus manos
Puedo soportar tu dolor
Puedo soportar tu indiferencia
Puedo respirar tu aire
Pero no se si tu existencia

Todos venimos de la arena
De la arena que tu sientes en los pies
Cuando dejas huellas en el mar
Al atardecer

Todos venimos de la mar
No no
No esperes a que suba la marea
Porque todo puede acabar

Todos venimos de la arena
De la arena que tu sientes en los pies
Cuando dejas huellas en el mar
Al atardecer

Todos venimos de la mar
No no
No esperes a que suba la marea
Porque todo puede acabar



EN:

So much has happened and
My story is still on the news.
I have left more than a legacy
That not even God had imagined
Don't mess with me kid
Cause I'm part of your past
And even if you try your hardest
You couldn't change it

We all come from the sand
From the sand that you feel in your feet
When you leave footprints in the sea
At sunset

We all come from the sea
No no
Don't wait for the tide to come in
Cause it may all end

I am the most precious gift
And existence I have bestowed upon you
I give place to your life
To your life to your mouth your mind your hands
I can bear your pain
I can bear your indifference
I can breathe your air
But I don't know if your existence

We all come from the sand
From the sand that you feel in your feet
When you leave footprints in the sea
At sunset

We all come from the sea
No no
Don't wait for the tide to come in
Cause it may all end

We all come from the sand
From the sand that you feel in your feet
When you leave footprints in the sea
At sunset

We all come from the sea
No no
Don't wait for the tide to come in
Cause it may all end

¿Que me diste banda?
Ok, seguimos en Play
Y yo sigo enrumbao' como manda la ley
¿Me diste banda?
Que estrés ay, no puede ser
Que ahora llegan como de a diez
Guataqueando

Dame banda,
Dame dame banda
y suelta eso
Dame banda,
Dame dame banda
y suelta eso
Dame banda,
Dame dame banda
y suelta eso
Dame banda,
Dame dame banda

creíste que me iba a quedar sufriendo (y nos fuimos pa' encima)
Creíste que me iba a quedar tumbado (y ahora es que voy pa' arriba)
Hey, y ahora aguanta la presión
Que tu me vas a tener que dar banda de camión
Guataqueando como un panda desde

¿Que me diste banda?
Ok, seguimos en Play
Y yo sigo enrumbao' como manda la ley
¿Me diste banda?
Que estrés ay, no puede ser
Que ahora llegan como de a diez
Guataqueando

¿Que me diste banda? Nah
Baby todos sabemos que yo soy el que manda
Todos los tipos tuyos están detrás de la baranda
No me tires cuentos ni propagandas
Que a mí se me guindan como una bufanda
Yo también quiero un mundo de colores
Mujeres mejores tengo una parranda
Easy, pa' la calle simple con las DC
Mami pa' mi no es difícil
Vive en tu mundo paralelo que a mi me va el pelo
Hasta en tiempos de crisis
Easy, pa' la disco me tiro las Yeezy
Todas se mojan como piscis
Pero yo quiero una bebé de altura
Linda con la cara de Valeria Polizzi

¿Que me diste banda?
Ok, seguimos en Play
Y yo sigo enrumbao' como manda la ley
¿Me diste banda?
Que estrés ay, no puede ser
Que ahora llegan como de a diez
Guataqueando

Dame banda,
Dame dame banda
y suelta eso
Dame banda,
Dame dame banda
y suelta eso
Dame banda,
Dame dame banda
y suelta eso
Dame banda,
Dame dame banda

So, you gave me band? (you broke up with me)
Ok, we keep it on "play"
And I keep on partying as the law dictates
Did you give me band?
Oh, how stressful, this can' t be
And now they're coming ten at a time
Guataqueando

Gimme band,
Gimme gimme band
And let go of that
Gimme band,
Gimme gimme band
And let go of that
Gimme band,
Gimme gimme band
And let go of that
Gimme band,
Gimme gimme band

You thought I was gonna be left suffering (and we went to the top)
You thought I was gonna stay down (and now I'm going up)
Hey, and now hold the pressure

That you're gonna have to give me a truck band
I've been kicking like a panda since

So, you gave me band?
Ok, we keep it on "play"
And I keep on partying as the law dictates
Did you give me band?
Oh, how stressful, this can' t be
And now they're coming ten at a time
Guataqueando

Did you give me band? Nah
Baby we all know that I'm the one who's in charge
All your guys are behind the railing
Don't throw stories or propaganda at me
That they hang on me like a scarf
I want a world of colors too
I' ve got a bunch of better women
Easy, to the streets simple with the DC's
Mami it' s not difficult for me
Live in your parallel world that's fine with me
Even in times of crisis
Easy, in the night club I'll wear the Yeezy's
They all get wet like pisces
But I want a fine babe
Cute with the face of Valeria Polizzi

So, you gave me band?
Ok, we keep it on "play"
And I keep on partying as the law dictates
Did you give me band?
Oh, how stressful, this can' t be
And now they're coming ten at a time
Guataqueando

Gimme band,
Gimme gimme band
And let go of that
Gimme band,
Gimme gimme band
And let go of that
Gimme band,
Gimme gimme band
And let go of that
Gimme band,
Gimme gimme band
