When I die in seventy-odd years' time, I want someone to dig this out of the box in the attic it will probably be in and play it AT FULL VOLUME on a (by then) 'Retro' boombox. Loud. Very loud.
We dedicate this song to our grandpa. He was part of WWII and was always there for us when we were growing up, and when he died 3 years ago, it tore us apart inside. He was there to calm us down when we were sad, and he was the father figure in our life when our dad died. We miss him more then anything.
I actually like this so much more than the original. I'm not that religious but with the Gregorian chant style, you can sense the religious tone in the song lyrics.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
You still have all of me, me, me
Put it into Google translate.
"Gregorian chant is always a favorite, listening to music so beautiful, so also all the world to me and seems to be. Praised."
So, I'm gonna change the literal translation around a bit so it makes more sense.
"Gregorian Chant has always been a favorite, listening to their music feels so beautiful, I praise them."
No idea that's what he meant but that's what I understood form the translation.
