Gearrthóg Físe
Lyrics
Open my legs, lie down with death
– Oscail mo chosa, luigh síos leis an mbás
We kiss, we sigh, we sweat
– Pógann muid, osna muid, déanaimid allais
His blackberry mouth stains my nightgown
– Déanann a bhéal sméar dubh stains ar mo gúna oíche
I pull him close
– Tarraingím gar dó
Wrap my legs around and it tastes like life
– Fill mo chosa timpeall agus bíonn blas an tsaoil air
I twist, I bite
– Casadh mé, greim mé
The foxes chatter in the night
– Na sionnaigh ag comhrá san oíche
Show me the way
– Teach me path
This feeling leads
– Tá an mothúchán seo mar thoradh air
The ache, the kick, the need
– An pian, an cic, an riachtanas
Show me the way
– Teach me path
This feeling leads
– Tá an mothúchán seo mar thoradh air
The ache, the kick, the need
– An pian, an cic, an riachtanas
A shimmering landscape, I widen my eyes
– Tírdhreach glioscarnach, leathnaím mo shúile
Can I keep all this beauty forever inside?
– An féidir liom an áilleacht seo go léir a choinneáil istigh go deo?
I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town
– Cuimilt mé mo gúna oíche agus rithim nocht tríd an mbaile
Run through rain, run through fog
– Rith tríd an mbáisteach, rith tríd an gceo
Taking consolation in cats and dogs and things that cannot speak
– Ag glacadh sóláis i gcait agus madraí agus rudaí nach féidir leo labhairt
Ran to the ancestral plane, but they all showed up drunk and insane
– Rith siad go dtí eitleán na sinsear, ach léirigh siad go léir ar meisce agus dúsachtach
When I asked what I could offer them
– Nuair a d ‘ iarr mé cad is féidir liom a thairiscint dóibh
They said, “Gin and tonic or lithium”
– Dúirt siad, ” Gin agus tonic nó litiam”
I asked, “Which way should I go?”
– D ‘ iarr mé, “Cén bealach ba chóir dom dul?”
Through cigarette smoke, they said
– Trí dheatach toitíní, a dúirt siad
“Child, how would we know?”
– “Leanbh, conas a bheadh a fhios againn?”
Show me the way
– Teach me path
This feeling leads
– Tá an mothúchán seo mar thoradh air
The ache, the kick, the need
– An pian, an cic, an riachtanas
Show me the way
– Teach me path
This feeling leads
– Tá an mothúchán seo mar thoradh air
The ache, the kick, the need
– An pian, an cic, an riachtanas
Desire beyond reason
– Mian thar chúis
Ruinous thing
– Rud fothrach
A stranger came to my door
– Tháinig strainséir go dtí mo dhoras
And I welcomed him in
– Agus chuir mé fáilte roimhe i
My feet are bleeding
– Tá mo chosa ag fuiliú
But I cannot stop, I have many, many miles
– Ach ní féidir liom stopadh, tá go leor míle agam
Yet to cross
– Fós le trasnú
I came to a clearing
– Tháinig mé chun imréitigh
Full of wailing and keening
– Iomlán de wailing agus keening
A well of tears that never runs dry
– Tobar deora nach ritheann tirim riamh
Women said, “We’ve been waiting
– Dúirt mná, ” táimid ag fanacht
Waiting to meet you, it’s only a matter of time”
– Ag fanacht le bualadh leat, níl ann ach ceist ama”
Thrust my fists in the ground
– Sá mo dhorn sa talamh
And the earth made a moaning sound, oh, oh
– Agus rinne an domhan fuaim moaning, ó, ó
I could feel something shudder
– Raibh mé in ann a bhraitheann rud éigin shudder
Deeper, deeper down
– Níos doimhne, níos doimhne síos
And I met every monster from the bar to Broadway
– Agus bhuail mé le gach ollphéist ón mbarra Go Broadway
And all their violent offers, I just turn them away
– Agus a gcuid tairiscintí foréigneacha go léir, ní dhéanaim ach iad a chasadh ar shiúl
And your threats and your promises, they don’t scare me
– Agus do bhagairtí agus do ghealltanais, ní chuireann siad eagla orm
After all, there’s nobody more monstrous than me (Woo)
– Níl aon duine níos measa ná mise (i ‘ m nobody more monstrous than me)
Than me (Woo)
– Ná mise (Woo)
