Sting "The Soul Cages" lyrics

Translation to:deessr

The Soul Cages

The boychild is locked in the fisherman's yardThere's a boodless moon where the oceans dieA shoal of nightstars hang fire in the netsAnd the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie

Where is the fisherman, where is the goat?Where is the keeper in his carrion coat?Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird fliesWhere is the child with his father's eyes?

These are the soul cages These are the soul cages

He's the king of the ninth worldThe twisted son of the fog bells tollIn each and every lobster cageA tortured human soul

These are the souls of the broken factoriesThe subject slaves of the broken crownThe dead accounting of old guilty promisesThese are the souls of the broken town

These are the soul cages These are the soul cagesThese are the soul cages These are the soul cages

"I have a wager" the brave child spokeThe fisherman laughed, though disturbed at the joke"You will drink what you drink but you must equal meAnd if the drink leaves me standingA soul shall go free"

"I have here a cask of most magical wineA vintage that blessed every ship in the lineIt's wrung from the blood of the sailors who diedYoung white bodies adrift in the tide"

"And what's in it for me, my pretty young thing?Why should I whistle, when the caged bird sings?If you lose a wager with the king of the seaYou'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me"

These are the soul cages These are the soul cagesThese are the soul cages These are the soul cages

A body lies open in the fisherman's yardLike a side of the ship where the iceberg ripsOne less soul in the soul cagesOne last curse on the fisherman's lips

These are the soul cages These are the soul cagesThese are the soul cages These are the soul cages

He dreamed of a ship in the seaIt would carry his father and heTo a place they could never be foundTo a place far away from his townA Newcastle ship without coalsThey would sail to the island of souls

Kavezi duša

Dečak je zaključan u ribarevom dvorištuBeskrvni mesec je tamo gde je okean preminuoMnoštvo noćnih zvezda čekaju u mrežamaI haos kaveza gde rakovi leže

Gde je ribar, gde je koza?Gde je čuvar u svom strvinskom kaputu?Pomračenje na mesecu kad crna ptica letiGde je dete sa očima svog oca?

To su kavezi duše To su kavezi duše

On je kralj devetog svetaPoremećeni sin prokletstva zvona magleU svakoj svacijatoj zamci za jastogeJedna namučena ljudska duša

To su duše propalih fabrikaPredmetni robovi propale kruneMrtvi što plaćaju stara kriva obećanjaTo su duše propalog grada

To su kavezi duša To su kavezi dušaTo su kavezi duša To su kavezi duša

'‘Kladim se'' reče hrabro deteRibar se nasmejao, iako ga je uznemirila šala'‘Pićeš isto što i ja ali moraš isto koliko jaI ako me piće ostavi na nogamaJedna duša otići će slobodno''

'‘Imam ovde bure najčarobnijeg vinaBerba koja je blagoslovila svaki brod na linijiIsceđeno je od krvi umrlih mornaraMlada bela tela nanešena plimom''

''A šta ja imam od toga, slatki mali?Zašto bih zviždao kad zarobljena ptica peva?Ako izgubiš opkladu sa kraljem moraProvešćeš ostatak večnosti u kavezu sa mnom'''

To su kavezi duša To su kavezi dušaTo su kavezi duša To su kavezi duša

Telo leži nepokriveno u ribarevom dvorištuKao strana broda koju para santa ledaJedna duša manje u kavezu dušaPoslednja psovka na ribarevim usnama

To su kavezi duša To su kavezi dušaTo su kavezi duša To su kavezi duša

On je sanjao o brodu na moruKoji bi odneo njegovog oca i njegaNa mesto koje nikad ne bi našliNa mesto daleko od njegovog gradaNjukastl brod bez ugljaOtplovili bi na ostrvo duša
