My dear little sister, my closest friend
When I’m with you I beg for those times not to end
It’s by far too much fun.
If you’re upset or poorly or just gone round the bend
I’ll always be there when you’re needing a friend
Or punchbag :P
But mad violinist, I won’t always be
And when my song is over who’ll then sing of thee
And thy ways?
Be it any man other that dost new songs start
The he’s lucky to have you; in whole or in part
As I have been.
Til then we can share in our art and embrace
We’re luckier in this than most of our race.
Yes, we are!
I met you a child I watched you grow
To the wonderful woman I have come to know
And hopefully will for the rest of my days
‘cos I love thee, little sister, and so this ode says
Douleur au-delà de la mesure
Cela tourments de mon âme
Et me lie tous les serrée
Pour mes os
Traîné de chagrin d'amour au chagrin
Couper et a transpercé de toutes parts
Même si je pleure, je pleure mon âme
Et pourtant, je ne peux pas mourir
Ceux que j'aime; tous morts
Ennemis à, disparu depuis longtemps
Je serai fatigué
Dans ce nouveau monde étrange
Si aucune autre rappelle
Quel était et pourquoi
Je vous prie dieux te
Et les démons à
D'où trempé avec le nectar
De sweet lady liquer
Laissez-moi mourir!
You’re dead and you’re buried
But never forgotten
Thought the worms eat your visage
And your body’s all rotten
But you live yet my love
Beyond hurt, fear or pain
As by haunting my heart
A new life you have gained
For I know that you died;
Your own life you did take
And the life of our child
Yet unborn didst forsake
With my knife in your hand
And with pain in your heart
You didst cut deep your veins
And with this life depart
But you haunt my nights still
That you called out my name
Now your sweet gentle laughter
Sounds a mocking refrain
Was it really my fault?
Was'st I devil from hell,
That by loving thee darling
Dealt thee thy death-knell
My heart; it died with you
Now spirits depart!
For no man can live
With such ghosts in his heart.
If you’re reading my work
Then I guess you’re to blame
For these strokes of my pen
And my passions red flame
That my soul is departed
My hand so to free
That in elegant verse
I might now speak to thee
If my language you’d take
Just to mangle and maim
Then my spoken words mock
Without honour or shame
For your bastardised tongue
That would bear my tongues name
Then my insult you’ll bear
And my curse, mores the same!
If you don’t see my meaning
I’ll make myself clear
I am speaking English!
What do you speak my dear?
But a mongrel tongue fallen
From grace without dower
And I sneer at you now girl
For doubting the power
Of the well wielded tongue
For I’m English you see
Though my language you’d take
You shall not defeat me!
