Искала

Я искала тебя годами долгими,                   
Искала тебя дворами темными,                    
В журналах, в кино, среди друзей,               
В день, когда нашла, – с ума сошла.             

Ты совсем как во сне,                           
Совсем как в альбомах,                          
Где я рисовала тебя гуашью.                     

Дальше были звонки ночные больше,               
Слезы, нервы, любовь и стрелки в Польше,        
Белки, но не мои, и старые зазнобы,             
Куришь, каждые пять, мы устали оба.

Kao prvo, hteo bih da se zahvalim Iskri što mi je pomogla pri nalaženju reči ove pesme. Topla preporuka za sve ljude koji imaju otvoren sluh i za muziku koja dolazi sa neegleskog govornog područja. Ova pesma je inače jedna od mnogih dobrih pesama sa soundtrack-a kultnog filma „Brat 2″.

Štipaljka

I dok Dunav mirno teče
u glavi se nešto lomi
Reka jeste danas gladna
ali problem nije hrana

Prišao sam reci tiho
gde se kriju ti motori
Koja snaga koji život
problem moj je tako mali

I dok plove misli bola, strasti, sreće
ja se pitam kojom snagom jos se krećem

Reka nosi sve probleme
ja joj za to kažem hvala
Idi reko svojim tokom
jer ja nisam tvoja hrana.

All along the watchtower

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Theres too much confusion
I cant get no relief
Businessman they drink my wine
Plow men dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke but uh
But you and I’ve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hours getting late

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants to, but huh
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approachin’
And the wind began to howl

Artist: Jimi Hendrix
Album: Electric Ladyland (1968)

Napomena: Reči ove pesme je napisao Bob Dylan, ali se meni ova verzija u izvođenju Hendrixa mnogo više sviđa i po mom skromnom mišljenju ova pesma spada u prvih 10 u istoriji roka. Btw, ako želite da pročitate jednu mnogo dobru analizu ovih stihova, kliknite ovde.

The Scientist

Come up to meet you,
Tell you I’m sorry,
You don’t know
how lovely you are

I had to find you,
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets,
And ask me your questions,
Aww let’s go back to the start

Runnin’ in circles,
Comin’ our tails,
Heads on the science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Aww take me back to the start

I was just guessin’,
At numbers and figures,
Pullin’ the puzzles apart

Questions of science,
Science and progress,
Do not speak
as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me,
Come back to haunt me,
Oh when I rush to the start

Runnin’ in circles,
Chasin’ our tails,
Comin’ back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Aww It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m goin’ back to the start

Blue Valentine

She sends me blue valentines
All the way from philadelphia
To mark the anniversary
Of someone that I used to be
And it feels just like theres
A warrant out for my arrest
Got me checkin in my rearview mirror
And Im always on the run
Thats why I changed my name
And I didnt think youd ever find me here

To send me blue valentines
Like half forgotten dreams
Like a pebble in my shoe
As I walk these streets
And the ghost of your memory
Is the thistle in the kiss
And the burgler that can break a roses neck
Its the tatooed broken promise
That I hide beneath my sleeve
And I see you every time I turn my back

She sends me blue valentines
Though I try to remain at large
Theyre insisting that our love
Must have a eulogy
Why do I save all of this madness
In the nightstand drawer
There to haunt upon my shoulders
Baby I know
Id be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
With a blind and broken heart
That sleeps beneath my lapel

She sends me my blue valentines
To remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt
Or get these bloodstains off my hands
And it takes a lot of whiskey
To take this nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite
And I die a little more on each st. valentines day
Remember that I promised I would
Write you…
These blue valentines
Blue valentines
Blue valentines
