Ashley Chittock - Carthaginian Lullaby [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]
Baby don't cry now
Mum and dad will always love you
Though we might have to go now
Baby don't cry a Carthaginian lullaby

I remember how the marble steps looked
You were fifteen, viciously ripped off my hook
And you cast me out only to reel me back in
Just to wipe the smile from my chiselling grin

From then we partnered, you put the quiver to my bow
I was high-strung but you knew how to aim low
We sang, drank, thanked all the heavens below
Not paying heed to the Romans we know

[Chorus]

The arrow aimed wide of the mark still struck a willful victim
Inferno in the air, personified
The devil strides long in the night never stopping his conviction
Tic tac toe played with your life
But if we have to go, I would have picked here
On the temple steps where we both first met
Now it's time to fly, Scipio will cry

So now we lay down, no longer rolling in the hay
But it's okay now, cos we've both arrows to the brain
And though we fought we won't be remembered
History has a deal with the winners
