Scott Walker - Farmer in the City [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Remembering Pasolini)


Do I hear
21
21
21?

I'll give you
21
21
21

Do I hear
21
21
21?

I'll give you

This night you are mistaken

I'm a farmer in the city

Dark farm houses
'Gainst the sky

Every night
I must wonder why

Harness on the left nail
Keeps wrinkling, wrinkling

Then higher above me
Esau
Esau

Can't go by a man
From Rio

Go buy a man
From Vigo

Can't go by a man
From Ostia

Hey Ninetto

Remember that dream?

We talked about it
So many times

Do i hear
21
21
21?

I'll give you
21
21
21

Do I hear
21
21
21?

I'll give you
21
21
21

And if I'm not mistaken
We can search from farm to farm

Dark farm houses
'gainst our eyes

Every night
I must realize

Harness on the left nail
Keeps withering and withering

Then higher above me
Esau
Esau

Can't go by a man
In this shirt

Go buy a man in
That shirt

Can't go by a man
With brain grass

Go by his long
Long eye gas

And I used to be a citizen

And I never felt the pressure

I knew nothing of the horses

Nothing of the thresher

Paulo
Take me with you?

It was the journey
Of a life

Do I hear
21
21
21?

I'll give you
21
21
21

Do I hear
21
21
21?

I'll give you
21
21
