Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops, I remember
There was snow, white snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows, they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If you love me, won't you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the Fox became God
Priests clutched onto Bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in honor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home it unfolds
And if you love me, won't you let me know?
I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow far below
So if you love me, why'd you let me go?
I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time, she was silent still
So if you love me, won't you let me know?
If you love me, won't you let me know?
Фиолетовый холм (перевод )
Это был долгий и темный декабрь...
Я помню, с крыш несло
Снег, белый снег.
Отчётливо помню,
Как они всё смотрели из окон
На то, как мы замерзаем...
Когда будущее строится
Кучей идиотов-показушников,
Тебе лучше не высовывать нось...
Если ты любишь меня, просто дай знать...
Это был долгий и темный декабрь,
Когда банки превратились в храмы,
А кинокомпания "Fox" стала Божеством.
Священники ухватились за Библии-муляжи,
Служащие тайниками для винтовок,
И кресты устремились вверх...
Похороните меня с почестями.
Когда я умру и окажусь в земле,
Прежняя любовь раскроется по-новому...
И если любишь меня — дашь знать?
Я не хочу быть солдатом,
Капитаном обреченного корабля,
Опускающегося глубоко на дно...
Так если ты любишь меня — зачем отпускаешь?
Я забрал свою любовь на фиолетовый холм,
Где мы сидели в снегу,
И все то время, пока мы сидели, она молчала...
Что же, если любишь меня — просто дай знать...
Если любишь меня — дай знать...

Violet Hill (translation)
It was a long and dark December ...
I remember from the roofs bore
Snow, white snow .
I distinctly remember
As they looked out the windows
How we freeze ...
When the future is based
A bunch of idiots , a conspicuous ,
You do not want to stick your nos ...
If you love me , just let me know ...
It was a long and dark December
When banks turned into temples
A film company "Fox" become Divine.
Priests grabbed the Bible - casts ,
Employees hiding places for rifles ,
And crosses rushed up ...
Bury me with honors.
When I die and end up in the ground,
Former love will be revealed in a new way ...
And if you love me - let know?
I do not want to be a soldier ,
Captain of the doomed ship
Dipping deep into the bottom ...
So if you love me - why let go ?
I took my love for purple hill
Where we sat in the snow,
And all the while , until we sat , she was silent ...
Well, if you love me - just let me know ...
If you love me - let me know ...
