Handsome Family - Far From Any Road

Текст

From the dusty mesa her looming shadow grows

Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote

She twines her spines up slowly towards the boiling sun,

And when I touched her skin, my fingers ran with blood.

In the hushing dusk, under a swollen silver moon,

I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom.

A strange hunger haunted me; the looming shadows danced.

I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand.

When the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes unfold,

Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones.

And rise with me forever across the silent sand,

And the stars will be your eyes and the wind will be my hands.

Перевод

Из пыльной горы растет ее надвигающаяся тень

Скрытая в ветвях ядовитого креозота

Она медленно вьет свои шипы вверх к кипящему солнцу,

И когда я коснулся ее кожи, мой пальцы потекли кровью.

В тихих сумерках, под распухшей серебряной луной

Я шел с ветром, чтобы посмотреть, как цветет кактус.

Меня преследовал странный голод; надвигающиеся тени танцевали.

Я упал на колючий куст и почувствовал дрожащую руку.

Когда последний свет согреет скалы и гремучие змеи раскроются,

Горные кошки придут, чтобы утащить вашу кости.

И поднимись со мной навсегда через безмолвный песок,

И звезды будут твоими глазами, а ветер - моими руками.
