Jimi Hendrix - 1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
Hurrah! I awake from yesterday
Alive but the war is here to stay
So, my love, Catherina and me
Decide to take our last walk
Through the noise to the sea
Not to die but to be re-born
Away from a life so battered and torn
Forever

Oh, say can you see, it's really such a mess
Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lip-stick tube shaped things
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
And the arctic stains
From silver blue to bloody red
As our feet find the sand and the sea
Is straight ahead, straight ahead

Well its too bad
That our friends
Can't be with us today
Well that's too bad
"The machine that we built would never save us"
That's what they say
(That's why they aren't coming with us today)
And they also said
"It's impossible for man to live and breath underwater forever"
Was their main complaint
(Yeah)
And they also threw this in my face:
They said
Anyway
You know good well
It would be beyond the will of God
And the grace of the King
(grace of the King yeah, yeah)

So my darling and I
Make love in the sand
To salute the last moment
Ever on dry land
Our machine has done its work
Played its part well
Without a scratch on our bodies
And we bid it farewell
Starfish and giant foams
Greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under
We take a last look
At the killing noise
Of the out of style
The out of style, out of style

So down and down and down and down
And down and down we go
Hurry, my darling
We mustn't be late, for the show
Neptune champion games to an aqua world
Is so very dear
Right this way smiles a mermaid
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
Atlantis full of cheer
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
