Great Lake Swimmers - Tua Dura Coluna

 

Your Rocky Spine

I was lost in the lakes
And the shapes that your body makes
That your body makes, that your body makes
That your body makes

The mountains said I could find you here
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
I traced my finger along your trails
Your body was the map, I was lost in it

Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you're mine
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you're mine

I was moving across your frozen veneer
The sky was dark but you were clear
Could you feel my footsteps
And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you

And with your soft fingers between my claws
Like purity against resolve
I could tell, then and there, that we were formed from the clay
And came from the rocks for the earth to display

They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind rages through your hair

Tua Dura Coluna

Eu estava perdido nos lagos
E nas formas que o teu corpo faz
Que o teu corpo faz, que o teu corpo faz
Que o teu corpo faz

As montanhas disseram que eu não podia encontrar-te aqui
Elas sussurraram a neve e as folhas no meu ouvido
Eu percorri com o meu dedo os seus caminhos
O teu corpo era o mapa, eu estava perdido nele

Flutuando sobre a sua dura coluna
Os glaciares fizeram-te, e agora tu és minha
Flutuando sobre a sua dura coluna
Os glaciares fizeram-te, e agora és minha

Eu estava-me movendo sobre a sua gelada superfície
O céu estava escuro mas tu estavas límpida
Conseguiste sentir os meus passos
E quebrar-te-ias, quebrar-te-ias, quebrar-te-ias

E com os teus suaves dedos entre as minhas unhas
Como pureza contra decomposição
Eu pude dizer, naquele momento e ali, que nós somos feitos de barro
E viemos das rochas da terra para expor

Elas disseram-me para ser cuidadoso lá em cima
Onde o vento sopra um malvado sopro para o teu cabelo
Disseram-me para ser cuidadoso lá em cima
Onde o vento se enraivece sobre o teu cabelo
