The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It’s full of charts and facts,
some figures and instructions for dancing

But I,
I love it when you read to me.
And you,
You can read me anything.

The book of love has music in it,
In fact that’s where music comes from.
Some of it is just transcendental,
Some of it is just really dumb.

But I,
I love it when you sing to me.
And you,
You can sing me anything.

The book of love is long and boring,
And written very long ago.
It’s full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes,
And things we’re all too young to know.

But I,
I love it when you give me things.
And you,
You ought to give me wedding rings.

And I,
I love it when you give me things.
And you,
You ought to give me wedding rings.
You ought to give me wedding rings.

Prevod pesme

Knjiga o ljubavi

Knjiga o ljubavi duga je i dosadna
Niko ne može podići tu prokletu stvar
Puna je grafikona i činjenica,
nekih cifara i plesnih instrukcija.

Ali ja,
Ja volim kad čitaš mi ti
A ti,
Ti mi možeš bilo šta čitati.

U knjizi o ljubavi ima muzike,
Zapravo, odatle muzika i potiče.
Nešto od toga je prosto transcendentalno,
Nešto od toga je prosto stvarno glupo.

Ali ja,
Ja volim kad pevaš mi ti
A ti,
Ti mi možeš bilo šta pevati.

Knjiga o ljubavi duga je i dosadna,
I davnih dana napisana.
Puna je cveća i kutija u obliku srca,
I stvari za koje smo svi premladi.

Ali ja,
Ja volim kad mi ti daješ stvari.
A ti,
Ti bi trebalo da mi burme daš.

Ali ja,
Ja volim kad mi ti daješ stvari.
A ti,
Ti bi trebalo da mi burme daš.
Ti bi trebalo da mi burme daš.

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name
But no-one wants you when you lose

Don’t give up
‘cos you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not beaten yet
Don’t give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we’d be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up
We don’t need much of anything
Don’t give up
’cause somewhere there’s a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It’s going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don’t give up
Please don’t give up

Got to walk out of here
I can’t take any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river’s flowing
That river’s flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Don’t give up
’cause you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not the only one
Don’t give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up now
We’re proud of who you are
Don’t give up
You know its never been easy
Don’t give up
’cause I believe there’s a place
There’s a place where we belong

Prevod pesme

Ne odustaj

U ovoj ponosnoj zemlji odrasli smo jaki
Oduvek  smo bili željeni
Učili su me da se borim, učili da pobeđujem
Nikada nisam pomislio da je moguće da ne uspem

Nemam više za šta da se borim, ili bar tako deluje
Ja sam čovek koga su napustili svi snovi
Promenio sam izgled, promenio ime
Ali nikom ne trebaš kad si gubitnik

Ne odustaj
jer imaš prijatelje
Ne odustaj
Još nisi poražen
Ne odustaj
Znam da ćeš uspeti

Iako sam to svud oko sebe video
Nikad mi na pamet nije padalo da će to mene pogoditi
Mislio sam da ćemo mi poslednji ostati
Baš čudno kako stvari na kraju ispadnu

Te noći sam vozio kući
Do tog mesta gde sam rođen, kraj jezera
Kako je svitalo, video sam zemlju
Drva su izgorela do temelja

Ne odustaj
I dalje imaš nas
Ne odustaj
Nama ne treba mnogo
Ne odustaj
jer negde na svetu postoji mesto
gde mi pripadamo
Odmori mozak
Previše brineš
Sve će biti u redu
Kad dođu teška vremena
Možeš se osloniti na nas
Ne odustaj
Molim te, ne odustaj

Moram otići odavde
Ne mogu to više da podnesem
Staću na taj most
Fiksirati pogled nadole
Šta god bilo
I šta god prošlo
Ta reka teče
Ta reka teče

Preselio sam se u drugi grad
Trudio se da se skrasim
Na svaki posao, toliko ljudi
Toliko ljudi koji nikom ne trebaju

Ne odustaj
jer imaš prijatelje
Ne odustaj
Nisi jedini
Ne odustaj
Nema razloga za stid
Ne odustaj
Još uvek imaš nas
Nemoj sad odustati
Mi smo na tebe ponosni
Ne odustaj
Znaš da nikad nije lako
Ne odustaj
Zato što verujem da negde na svetu
Postoji mesto gde mi pripadamo

I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window
I saw the darkness in my heart
I saw the signs of my undoing
They had been there from the start

And the darkness still has work to do
The knotted chord’s untying
The heated and the holy
They’re sitting there on high
So secure with everything they’re buying

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
We wanted the the union , the union of the woman, the woman and the man

My grip is surely slipping
I think I’ve lost my hold
Yes I think I’ve lost my hold
I cannot get insurance any more
They don’t take credit, only gold
Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see
You hold so tightly in your hand
And all the while the distance grows between you and me
I do not understand

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
We wanted the the union , the union of the woman, the woman and the man

At my request you take me in
In that tenderness I am floating away
No certainty, nothing to rely on
Holding still for a moment
What a moment this is
For a moment of forgetting
A moment of bliss…

I can hear the distant thunder
Of a million unheard souls
Of a million unheard souls
Watch each one reach for creature comfort
For the filling of their holes

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man

In the blood of Eden we have done everything we can
In the blood of Eden, so we end as we began
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
It was all for the union,  the union of the woman, the woman and the man

Prevod pesme

Krv edenska

Uhvatio sam svoj odraz krajičkom oka
Na prozoru
Video sam tamu u svom srcu
Video sam znakove svoga nečinjenja
Bili su tu od samog početka

A tama još posla ima
Da odmrsi čvorove akorda
Prokleti i sveti
Sede gore u visinama
Tako sigurni u sve što kupuju

U krvi edenskoj, žena i čovek leže
Čovek je u ženi, žena u čoveku

U krvi edenskoj, žena i čovek leže
Želesmo da se žena i čovek sjedine

Gubim tlo pod nogama
Mislim da mi tlo izmiče

Da, mislim da izmiče
Kako sada da se osiguram
Ne primaju zasluge, samo suvo zlato
Da li je to bodež ili raspeće
Što čvrsto u ruci držiš
Dok se jedno od drugog

Sve više udaljavamo
Ne razumem

U krvi edenskoj, žena i čovek leže
Čovek je u ženi, žena u čoveku

U krvi edenskoj, žena i čovek leže
Želesmo da se žena i čovek sjedine
Tražih, i ti me uvodiš

U tu nežnost kroz koju plovim
Bez izvesnosti, bez ičega na šta bih se oslonio
Umirih se za tren
Kakav tren
Tren zaborava
Tren blaženstva….

U daljini čujem huk
Milion duša koje niko ne čuje
Koje niko ne čuje
Gledam kako svaka traži utehu
Da popuni prazninu

U krvi edenskoj, žena i čovek leže
Osećam čoveka u ženi i ženu u čoveku
U krvi edenskoj , žena i čovek leže
Osećam čoveka u ženi i ženu u čoveku

U krvi edenskoj, učinili smo sve što smo mogli
U krvi edenskoj, kako počesmo, tako okončavamo
S čovekom u ženi i ženom u čoveku
Sve bilo je zarad sjedinjenja, sjedinjenja

Žene i čoveka
