Lingua

Forma a forma
E faccio un'errore
Parlo troppo piano
E tu non ascolti

C'e` una lingua antica
Che lo sappiamo noi
Parliamolo sempre
A nessuno

Lingua a lingua
Ancora faccio l'errore
Vado troppo veloce
E ancora non mi ascolti

Ma senti quello che dico?
Sono qui
Sono io
E` vero

Vedi quello che fai?
Ignorante
Ascoltami
Parliamo di qualcosa

Traduzione:

Form to form
And i make a mistake
I'm speaking too slow
And you're not listening

There's an ancient language
That you and I know
We speak it all the time
To no one

Mouth to mouth (<= actually more complicated, double meaning to do with kissing)
Still I make mistakes
I'm going to fast
And you're still not listening

Can you hear what i'm saying?
I'm here
I'm me
It's true

Can you see what you're doing?
Ignorant fool
Listen to me
Let's talk about something

Lecture

Gaussian surfaces
Are assigned areas of charge
Aiding in the plodding of data

A collection of students
Is a rabble of grazing youths
Plodding to and from class

Arrange students in a hall (or theatre)
Gaussian surfaces apparent
Take the data and plod it

A biologist could make sens of it
Predict some such trend
Or other

A mathematician could make sense of it
Manipulate and plod again
Making his or her own trends

But a student?
Neither notices nor cares
And just goes and gets some lunch

You

You
And no other

Mother
Father
And none

Homestead on a rocky hill
Brother devil on a rocking horse
And you

Sit
Me
Down
In the firing line

Hope
To
Live
And live and die

And see you

Friend in the mirror
Friend out of sight
Friend but I need you
Befriend me tonight

I’ll wait for colour
Dream in black and white
I’ll wait in fear
In this cold cross-sight

Just for you

Beaded
And jaded
By what we do

Shredded
And deaded
By something new (that’s not a word)

Fall into nothing
Fall it with me
Falling again
I’m falling again

Without you
