DeVotchKa - The Last Beat of My Heart [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe

Majestic, imperial
A bridge of sighs
Solitude sails on a wave of forgiveness
On angels' wings

Reach out your hands
Don't turn your back
Don't walk away
How in the world can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
Till the last beat of my heart

At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
These words in shadowplay
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the naked bone of an echo says
Don't walk away

Reach out your hands
I'm just a step away
How in the world can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
Till the last beat of my heart

How in the world can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
Till the last beat of my heart
Close to you
Till the last beat of my heart

'Til the last fleeting beat
Of my heart
