The Call

Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling

Which then grew into a hope

Which then turned into a quiet thought

Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder

'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back

When you call me

No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing

Doesn't mean it's never been this way before

All you can do is try to know who your friends are

As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon

And follow the light

You'll come back when it's over

No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over

No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning

It's just a feeling and no one knows yet

But just because they can't feel it too

Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger

'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back

When they call you

No need to say goodbye

You'll come back

When they call you

No need to say goodbye

No, this is how it works.....

You peer inside yourself

You take the things you like

And try to love the things you took

And then you take that love you made

And stick it into some

Someone else's heart

Pumping someone else's blood

And walking arm in arm

You hope it don't get harmed

But even if it does

You'll just do it all again.....

On The Radio

Regina Spektor

This is how it works

It feels a little worse

Than when we drove our hearse

Right through that screaming crowd

While laughing up a storm

Until we were just bone

Until it got so warm

That none of us could sleep

And all the styrofoam

Began to melt away

We tried to find some words

To aid in the decay

But none of them were home

Inside their catacomb

A million ancient bees

Began to sting our knees

While we were on our knees

Praying that disease

Would leave the ones we love

And never come again

On the radio

We heard November Rain

That solo's really long

But it's a pretty song

We listened to it twice

'Cause the DJ was asleep

This is how it works

You're young until you're not

You love until you don't

You try until you can't

You laugh until you cry

You cry until you laugh

And everyone must breathe

Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works

You peer inside yourself

You take the things you like

And try to love the things you took

And then you take that love you made

And stick it into some

Someone else's heart

Pumping someone else's blood

And walking arm in arm

You hope it don't get harmed

But even if it does

You'll just do it all again

And on the radio

You hear November Rain

That solo's awful long

But it's a good refrain

You listen to it twice

'Cause the DJ is asleep

On the radio

(oh oh oh)

On the radio

On the radio - uh oh

On the radio - uh oh

On the radio - uh oh

On the radio 

Traduzione

E’ così che funziona
ci si sente male
quando mostriamo il nostro odio
in mezzo a quella folla urlante
mentre ridiamo durante una tempesta
finchè di noi non restano le ossa
finchè non fa così caldo
che nessuno riesce a dormire
e tutti gli stereotipi
iniziano a sciogliersi
abbiamo provato a trovare le parole
per assistermi nella decadenza
ma nessuno era a casa
nelle loro catacombe
un milione di api antiche
iniziarono a pungere le nostre ginocchia
mentre ci sorreggevamo sulle ginocchia
pregando che quella malattia
avesse lasciato chi era innamorato
e non fosse più tornata.

Alla radio
abbiamo sentito November Rain
quell'assolo così lungo
ma è una bella canzone
l'abbiamo ascoltata due volte
perchè il DJ si era addormentato.

E’ così che funziona
sei giovane finchè non lo sei più
ami finchè non lo fai più
provi finchè non ce la fai
ridi finchè non piangi
piangi finchè non ridi
e tutti hanno bisogno di respirare
fino al loro mortal sospiro

No, è così che funziona
scruti dentro te stesso
prendi ciò che ti piace
e provi ad amare quel che capita
e prendi l'amore che hai
e lo metti dentro a qualcuno
nel cuore di qualcun'altro
pompando il sangue di qualcun'altro
e camminando a braccetto
speri di non farti male
ma anche se lo fa
lo farai ancora.

E alla radio
ascolti November Rain
quall'assolo purtroppo lungo
ma ha un bel ritornello
la ascolti 2 volte
perchè il DJ dorme
alla radio
(oh oh oh)
