Violet Hill
“Testo”
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If you love me, won't you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a fox became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And a cross held aloft
Bury me in armour
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze
If you love me, won't you let me know?
I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below
So if you love me why'd you let me go?
I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
So if you love me, won't you let me know?
If you love me, won't you let me know?
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If you love me, won't you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a fox became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And a cross held aloft
Bury me in armour
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze
If you love me, won't you let me know?
I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below
So if you love me why'd you let me go?
I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
So if you love me, won't you let me know?
If you love me, won't you let me know?
“Traduzione”
Era un lungo e cupo Dicembre Dai tetti mi ricordo C'era la neve, neve bianca Mi ricordo chiaramente Dalle finestre ci guardavano Mentre noi sotto congelevamo Quando il futuro è progettato Da una processione di idioti esibizionisti Ti conviene nasconderti Se mi ami, non me lo farai sapere? Era un lungo e cupo Dicembre Quando le banche sono diventate cattedrali E una volpe è diventata Dio I preti si sono stretti alle bibbie Scavate per farci stare i loro fucili E una croce è stata innalzata Seppelliscimi con l'armatura Quando sarò morto e avrò toccato il suolo I miei nervi sono poli che si disgelano Se mi ami, non me lo farai sapere? Non voglio essere un soldato Che il capitano di qualche nave che sta affondando Nasconderebbe laggiù in fondo Se mi ami, perchè mi lasci andare? Ho portato il mio amore a violet hill Lì ci siamo seduti nella neve Per tutto quel tempo lei è rimasta ferma in silenzio Allora se mi ami, non me lo farai sapere? Se mi ami, non me lo farai sapere?
