一块红布 (A piece of red cloth)
Cui Jian / 崔健| Riadattamento inglese by Joel Sattler | |
| A PIECE OF RED CLOTH | A PIECE OF RED CLOTH |
| That day you took a piece of red cloth Covered my eyes and covered the sky You asked me what I saw I said, "I see the happiness" | You put a piece of red cloth o'er my eyes to block the sun and cover up the sky you asked me what I saw, you couldn't guess I said that I saw happiness |
| This feeling made me so tranquil It made me forget I have no place to live You asked me where I'm headed I said, "I'm going your way" | I was uneasy how could I forget I have no place my children can call home I'd like to follow you if you will let and go with you where you may roam |
| Couldn't see you, couldn't see the road My hand was clasped by yours You asked what I was thinking I said, "You decide" | I could not see the way the road had gone you took my hand and you pulled me along you asked me what I thought, said right or wrong I just want you to lead me on |
| I sense you are not cold like steel Yet like steel you are strong and hard I sense there is blood in your body Because your hand is hot | I knew that you thought you’re not made of steel but stronger even if you think you're not you have the passion and the heart I feel your hands are ready, blood is hot |
| This feeling made me so tranquil It made me forget I have no place to live You asked me where I'm headed I said, "I'm going your way" | this wasn't what I thought: a wilderness and I could taste the desert in your lips dying of thirst I need a drink of it you sucked me dry with just a kiss |
| I feel this is not a wasteland Yet can't see this land is already dry and cracked I feel I want to drink a little water But your mouth covered my mouth | I can not go, I can not cry alone I can not weep, I am dry as a bone but still I follow without sleep or rest because your pain I know the best |
| I can't go and I can't cry Because my body is already withered I will be by your side forever Because I know your pain so well Doooo…Doooo… | You put a piece of red cloth o'er my eyes to block the sun and cover up the sky you asked me what I saw, you couldn't guess I said that I saw happiness |
