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

ES:


No estoy preocupada para nada
ando por la calle con la cara levantada
con la cara hinchada
por un par de cachetadas
que me dio la mamá
cuando se enteró de que fumaba y que tomaba

y no para,
tengo la cocina ensangrentada
no he matado a nadie
pero me explota la cabeza
en cuanto llego a casa
y escucho Saint Pablo
me identifico con to' y con nada

porque estoy apagada
porque estoy apagada mama
porque estoy apagada
porque estoy apagada mama

porque estoy apagada sí me va todo muy bien
o al menos regular
o tengo días buenos donde no todo va mal
tengo a full a mis panas con las que puedo hangear
para disfrutar y bailar

daararara darararara
bring the happy vibes
porque estoy cansada de llorar
bring the happy vibes
daararara darararara
bring the happy vibes
porque estoy cansada de llorar
bring the happy vibes !

La nao me dice
no te pares ni un momento
eres puro talento
Dios sabe que la quiero
pero miento si no pienso que a veces me voy pa un lao'
que el camino se bifurca antes de que lo haya pisao'
los chavales de mi calle saben más que un estudiao'
me siento más en conflicto que el maldito Menelao'
suelto la melena, pa dejarla respirar
respirar el aire de un Madrid contaminao'

pero chill,
que no está todo tan mal
tengo poca pasta pero mucha dignidad
bueno más o menos, ahí no pienso entrar
una noche mala no me mancha el historial
pero una buena me dan ganas de aflojar
me dan ganas de aflojar
una bulería sentadita en mi sofá
una copa a tiempo en la noche de San Juan

daararara darararara
bring the happy vibes
porque estoy cansada de llorar
bring the happy vibes
daararara darararara
bring the happy vibes
porque estoy cansada de llorar

Bring the happy vibes !


EN:

I'm not worried at all
I walk down the street with my face upturned
with my face swollen
from a couple of slaps
my mother gave me
when she found out that I was smoking and drinking

and it won't stop,
I have a bloody kitchen
I haven't killed anyone
but my head explodes
as soon as I get home
and I listen to Saint Pablo
I identify with everything and nothing

because I'm off
because I'm off mom
because I'm off
because I'm off mom

why am I off if everything goes well for me
or at least regular
or I have good days where not everything goes wrong
I have my full time friends with whom I can hang out with
to enjoy and dance

daararara darararara
bring the happy vibes
cause I'm tired of crying
bring the happy vibes
daararara darararara
bring the happy vibes
cause I'm tired of crying
bring the happy vibes !

The nao tells me
don't stop for a moment
you are pure talent
God knows I love her
but id be lying if I don't think that sometimes I'm going sideways
that the road forks before I even step on it
the kids in my street know more than an erudite
I feel more conflicted than the damned Menelao'.
I let my hair loose, to let it breathe
breathe the air of a polluted Madrid

but chill,
that it's not all that bad
I have little money but a lot of dignity
well more or less, but I won't go down that road
a bad night doesn't stain my record
but a good one makes me want to loosen up
makes me want to loosen up
a bulería sitting on my sofa
a drink right on time in the night of San Juan

daararara darararara
bring the happy vibes
cause I'm tired of crying
bring the happy vibes
daararara darararara
bring the happy vibes
cause I'm tired of crying

Bring the happy vibes !
