Lyrics

Scarborough Fair

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then she’ll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme
(Washed is the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she’ll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they’ve long ago forgotten)
Then she’ll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine.

Prevod na srpski

Vašar u Skarborou

Ideš li na vašar u Skarborou?
Peršun, žalfija, ruzmarin i majčina dušica
Pozdravi mi onu što tamo živi
Nekad je bila moja ljubav prava

Reci joj da mi napravi finu košulju
(Na padini brda u dubini šumskog zelenila)
Peršun, žalfija, ruzmarin i majčina dušica
(Tragom vrapca na snežnom terenu)
Bez šavova i bez šivenja
(Ćebad i posteljina, dete planina)
Onda će biti moja ljubav prava
(Spava nesvesno poziva trube)

Reci joj da mi nađe hektar zemlje
(Na padini brda, nešto malo lišća)
Peršun, žalfija, ruzmarin i majčina dušica
(Isprana je ta zemlja sa mnogo suza)
Između slane vode i morske obale
(Jedan vojnik pušku čisti i polira)
Onda će biti moja ljubav prava

Reci joj da ga požnje srpom od kože
(Mehovi rata besne u grimiznim bataljonima)
Peršun, žalfija, ruzmarin i majčina dušica
(Generali naređuju svojim vojnicima da ubijaju)
I da sve skupi u buket vresa
(I da se bore za neki cilj davno zaboravljen)
Onda će biti moja ljubav prava

Ideš li na vašar u Skarborou?
Peršun, žalfija, ruzmarin i majčina dušica
Pozdravi mi onu što tamo živi
Nekad je bila moja ljubav prava

Simon & Garfunkel – The Sound Of Silence

Lyrics

The Sound Of Silence

Hello, darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share…
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

“Fools,” said I, “you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.”
“Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.”
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed in the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said: “The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whisper’d in the sound of silence.”

Prevod na srpski

Zvuk tišine

Zdravo tamo, stara drugo,
Da popričam s tobom opet sam došao
Zato što je jedna vizija od koje se ježim lagano,
ostavila svoj trag dok sam spavao
i ta vizija
Što mi se u mozak usadila
Još je tamo
Unutar zvuka tišine

U nemirnim snovima, išao sam sam
ulicama uskim, kaldrmom popločanim
ispod kruga svetlosti ulične lampe,
Okrenuo sam kragnu ka hladnoći i vlazi
kada me zaslepeo blesak
neonskog svetla
što noć je zaparao
i zvuk tišine dodirnuo.

I u tom golom svetlu, video sam
deset hiljada ljudi, možda i više.
Ljude koji govore bez reči,
ljude koji čuju ne slušajući
Ljude koji pišu pesme koje nikada se ne oglase
I niko se ne usuđuje
da remeti taj zvuk tišine.

“Budale,” rekoh ja, “vi ne znate
Tišina kao rak raste”
“Čujte moje reči da bih vas mogao naučiti,
Uzmite moje ruke da bih vas mogao dodirnuti.”
Ali moje reči padoše kao tihe kapi kiše,
i odjeknuše u bunarima tišine.

I ti ljudi su se klanjali i molili
tom neonskom bogu kojeg su stvorili.
A taj znak je pokazivao svoje upozorenje
kroz reči koje je slao.
A na znaku je pisalo: “Reči proroka
ispisane su na zidovima podzemne železnice
i po hodnicima oronulih zgrada
i šaputane u zvuku tišine.”

Simon & Garfunkel – For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her

sixtieseventies — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 06:48:40 +0000

What I dream I had, dressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline, of smoky Burgundy
Softer than the rain

I wandered empty streets, down past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells, tripping down the alley ways
As I walked on

And when you ran to me your cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand

And when I awoke and felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears
Oh I love you, girl
Oh, I love you

Prevod na srpski

Za Emili, kadgod je nađem

Kakav san sam imao
stegnuta u organdin
obučena u krinolinu dimne bordo
mekša od kiše

Lutao sam praznim ulicama
uzduž pored dućanskih izloga
Čuo sam katedralska zvona
Spotičući se niz uličice
dok sam hodao

A kad si potrčala do mene
obrazi su ti se zarumenili s noću
Šetali smo mraznim poljima kleke i lampne svetlosti
Držao sam te za ruku

A kad sam se probudio i osetio te toplu i blizu
Poljubio sam tvoju mednu kosu sa svojim zahvalnim suzama
O, volim te, devojko
O, kako te volim

Simon & Garfunkel – The Dangling Conversation

sixtieseventies — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 06:37:00 +0000

It’s a still life water color
of a now late afternoon
as the sun shines through the curtain lace
and shadows wash the room
And we sit and drink our coffee
couched in our indifference
like shells upon the shore
you can hear the ocean roar
in the dangling conversation
and the superficial sights
the borders of our lives

And you read your Emily Dickinson
and I my Robert Frost
and we note our place with bookmarkers
that measure what we’ve lost
Like a poem poorly written
we are verses out of rhythm
couplets out of rhyme
in syncopated time
lost in the dangling conversation
and the superficial sights
the borders of our lives

Yes, we speak of things that matter
with words that must be said
“Can analysis be worthwhile?”
“Is the theater really dead?”
And how the room is softly faded
and I only kiss your shadow
I cannot feel your hand
you’re stranger now unto me
lost in the dangling conversation
and the superficial sights
the borders of our lives

Prevod na srpski

Besciljan razgovor

Akvarel mrtve prirode
sada kasnog popodneva
dok sunce sija kroz zavesinu čipku
i senke peru sobu
A mi sedimo i ispijamo našu kafu
zavaljeni u svoju ravnodušnost
kao školjke na obali
Možeš čuti urlik okeana
u besciljnom razgovoru
i površnim uzdasima
međama naših života

I ti čitaš svoju Emili Dikinson
a ja mog Roberta Frosta
i beleženjem gde smo stali
merimo šta smo izgubili
Kao loše napisan spev
mi smo stihovi van ritma
kupleti bez rime
u sinkopiranom ritmu
izgubljeni u besciljnom razgovoru
i površnim uzdasima
međama naših života

Da, pričamo o važnim stvarima
rečima koje se moraju izgovoriti
“Mogu li se analize isplatiti?”
“Zar je pozorište zaista izumrlo?”
I kako soba polako bledi
a ja samo ljubim tvoju senku
ne mogu da osetim tvoju ruku
sada si stranac za mene
izgubljen u besciljnom razgovoru
i površnim uzdasima
u međama naših života

Simon & Garfunkel – Mrs Robinson

Spring — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:21:38 +0000

And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey…hey, hey, hey)

We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files
We’d like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home

And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey…hey, hey, hey)

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It’s a little secret, just the Robinsons’ affair
Most of all, you’ve got to hide it from the kids

Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey…hey, hey, hey)

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you’ve got to choose
Ev’ry way you look at it, you lose

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)
What’s that you say, Mrs. Robinson
Joltin’ Joe has left and gone away
(Hey, hey, hey…hey, hey, hey)

Prevod na srpski

G-đa Robinson

I evo za Vas, g-đo Robinson
Isus Vas voli više nego što možete da zamislite
Bog Vas blagoslovio, molim Vas, g-đo Robinson
Nebo čuva mesto za one koji se mole

Voleli bismo da saznamo ponešto o Vama, za naše dosijee
Voleli bismo da Vam pomognemo da naučite da pomažete sami sebi
Pogledajte oko sebe, sve što vidite su pogledi razumevanja
Prošetajte se malo okolo dok ne počnete da se osećate kao kod kuće

I Vama u čast, g-đo Robinson
Isus Vas voli više nego što možete da zamislite
Bog Vas blagoslovio, molim Vas, g-đo Robinson
Nebo čuva mesto za one koji se mole

Sakrijte to na tajnom mestu gde niko nikada ne svraća
Stavite to u svoj špajz sa Vašim kolačićima
To je jedna mala tajna, samo Robinson afera
Morate to sakriti od dece, pre svega

Nema brige, g-đo Robinson
Isus Vas voli više nego što možete da zamislite
Bog Vas blagoslovio, molim Vas, g-đo Robinson
Nebo čuva mesto za one koji se mole

Dok sedite na sofi, nedeljom popodne
dok idete na političku debatu
Smejte se tome, vičite o tome
Kad čovek mora da bira
kako god da stvari sagleda, na gubitku je

Gde ste otišli, Joe DiMaggio
Jedna nacija gleda vas svojim usamljenim očima
Šta kažete, g-đo Robinson
Joltin’ Joe je otišao i nestao

~~~
Mrs. Robinson ~ The Graduate
P. Simon, 1968

And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know, wo wo wo
Stand up tall, Mrs. Robinson
God in Heaven smiles on those who pray, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

Prevod na srpski

I Vama u čast, g-đo Robinson
Isus Vas voli više nego što možete da zamislite
Podnesite to stojički, g-đo Robinson
Bog sa neba smeši se onima koji se mole
