Abhainn An T - Sluaigh Übersetzung

The Crowded River

The skies above London
Are neither clear nor dark
The need to be far from the crowded river

Neither the great candle of daylight
Nor the stars of the night can be seen
The need to be far from the crowded river

In this city that never sleeps
There is stillness, no quiet
The need to be far from the crowded river

Footsteps keep moving
The river in full flood
The need to be far from the crowded river

The relentless wheels
Keep turning without pause
The need to be far from the crowded river

Many worshipping wealth
At the world's altar
The need to be far from the crowded river

Others without hope or home
On streets that hold no love
The need to be far from the crowded river

Races creeds and tongues
From all corners of the globe
The need to be far from the crowded river

All questions and answer
Rushing down the river to the ocean
The need to be far from the crowded river ( x6) Always the Winner

When you close your eyes there's a frightened pride that lives for you
That your mother's life and your father's eyes can't hide
You had no choice didn't ask the dice too fall for you
Still your courage comes like thunder through the skies

Always the winner, the victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter you'll never be alone
For evermore the winner
The taker and the giver
Somewhere through that winter you will not grow old

So you carry time down the tortured line where mysteries show
Well hidden from life's learned and life's wise
Mans useless ways and worthless conversation
Lie well exposed and humbled in your smile

(Chorus)

Still you run out in the morning with the boys and the girls
The miracle of innocence on a head of curls
We'll search every reason wherever we roam to find a place
For these broken hearts and bones

We'll keep a fire on the hillsides after the summers gone
And we'll wait here till the war-wounded come home

(Chorus)

(Chorus)
