William Finn - Sitting Becalmed in the Lee of Cuttyhunk [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[GORDON]
Help me!

[RICHARD]
It'll only take forty five minutes

[GORDON]
Somebody get me out of here!

[DR. BERENSTEIN]
You might not want to open your eyes

[MIMI]
Think calm thoughts

[ROGER]
Think sailing

[GORDON]
Sailing

[ENSEMBLE]
Sitting becalmed in the Lee of Cuttyhunk

[GORDON]
Waiting for the wind to blow

[ENSEMBLE]
Waiting for the wind to carry us somewhere, somehow
Sitting becalmed in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee of Cuttyhunk
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

[GORDON]
Here I am, detestor of small spaces
Unable to breathe, I turn loquacious

[ENSEMBLE]
At least it's sunny in Newport
At least it's sunny on Cape Cod
At least it's sunny in Nantucket

[GORDON]
Oh, yeah, fuck it, I hate the sun

[ENSEMBLE]
But we are sitting becalmed in the Lee of Cuttyhunk
Hotter than a pregnant cow
Waiting for the wind to carry us somewhere, somehow
Sitting becalmed in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee of Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

[ROGER]
Would it kill you to try to enjoy this a little bit?
This is my favorite thing in the world
Wait, I hear it

[RHODA]
Wait, it's coming

[ENSEMBLE]
Wait, I feel the wind
I think we're moving

[GORDON]
Things are improving

[ENSEMBLE]
Not becalmed

[GORDON]
Could that be a metaphor?

[ENSEMBLE]
Cuttyhunk is in our past!

[GORDON]
Stillness isn't the bastard that I thought it might be

[ENSEMBLE]
Not becalmed in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee of Cuttyhunk!

[NANCY D]
We got the picture!

[GORDON]
I get the picture?

[RICHARD]
Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?

[ENSEMBLE]


In the Lee of Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
[GORDON]
That wasn't bad at all!
In the Lee of Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
