Tekst piosenki
The rains have come early, they say
We’re all gonna wash away
Well, that’s all right with me If heaven’s torrent can wash clean
The arrogance that lies unseen
In the damage done since we have gone
Where we ought not to be Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Lakes and levees, dams and locks
They put that river in a box
It was running wild
And men must have control
We live our lives in starts and fits
We lose our wonder bit by bit
We condescend and in the end
We lose our very souls
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
The dirty water washes down
Poisoning the common ground
Taking sins of farm and town
And bearing them away
The captains of industry
And their tools on the hill
They’re killing everything divine
What will I tell this child of mine
I make a church out of words
As the years dull my senses
And I try to hold on to the world that I knew
I struggle to cross generational fences
And the beauty that still remains—
I can touch it through you
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
Roll on
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Mówią, że deszcz przyszedł wcześnie.
We ' re all gonna wash away
Well, that 's all right with me If heaven' s torrent can wash clean
The arogance that lies unseen
/ Align = "left" /
Where we ought not to be Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
Na razie.
Jeziora i wały, tamy i śluzy
Wsadzili tę rzekę do pudła.
It was running wild
A mężczyźni muszą mieć kontrolę
Nasze życie zaczyna się i pasuje.
Tracimy nasz cud kawałek po kawałku
Jesteśmy protekcjonalni i w końcu
Tracimy nasze dusze.
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
Na razie.
Brudna woda zmywa
Zatrucie wspólnej ziemi
Taking sins of farm and town
And bearing them away
Kapitanowie przemysłu
And their tools on the hill
Zabijają wszystko, co boskie.
Co powiem mojemu dziecku?
I make a church of words
Gdy lata tępią moje zmysły
# And I try to hold on to the world that I knew #
Walczę o przekroczenie pokoleniowych ogrodzeń.
And the beauty that still remains—
I can touch it through you
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
Na razie.
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
Na razie.
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
Na razie.
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
Roll on
