Jack’s Song Lyrics by Emma Gustafson

2019

Boots with strings untied strolling carelessly in the night
Night that spits her grief on the dreams of restless men
Life that takes control of the fears uncontrolled
Trains that leave tonight to return a brighter day
Jack that takes a smoke on the corner of the road
Dreaming of cathedrals and the songs he’ll never know
And oh, what a night to keep on keepin’ on
Through the rivers of the past and the memories of spring
And oh, what a day to keep on keepin’ on
I’ll return when the light has struck this new born day
Books of literature stacked upon the broken sheets
Jack picks ‘em up, reads a line, a page or two
Falls into his mind where his stories are defined
Sees the girl he loved on the italian hills of green
Family splittin’ up and the sadness in between
Gonna paint his life with a smile upon the wall
And oh, what a night to keep on keepin’ on
Through the rivers of the past and the memories of spring
And oh, what a day to keep on keepin’ on
I’ll return when the light has struck this new born day
But here comes the darkness and the peril
Wolves are howling deep in the meadow
But here homes the darkness and the peril
Ghosts are howling deep in the meadow
…There’s no time for mercy, I am a dying man
Wandering in and out of time, a ghost without a land
For many an hour I have walked, many a people I’ve seen
Many a word that I said wrong, my tongue was hard to keep
Many a place that I have been, many a country I’ve seen
There’s nothing but the rain to wash the troubles of every being
And oh, what a night to keep on keepin’ on
Through the rivers of the past and the memories of spring
And oh, what a day to keep on keepin’ on
I’ll return when the light has struck this new born day
And oh, what a night to keep on keepin’ on
Through the rivers of the past and the memories of spring
And oh, what a day to keep on keepin’ on
I’ll return when the light has struck this new born day
Traduzione:
La canzone di Jack
Stivali slacciati che passeggiano in giro per la notte;
La notte che sputa il suo dolore
Sui sogni degli uomini irrequieti;
La vita che prende il controllo
Delle paure incontrollabili;
Treni che partono stanotte
Per ritornare in un giorno migliore;
Jack che fuma sull’angolo della strada
Sognando cattedrali e le canzoni che non conoscerà mai
Ma che notte perfetta per continuare ad andare avanti
Attraverso i fiumi del passato
E i ricordi del cambiamento;
E che giorno perfetto per continuare ad andare avanti
Io ritornerò quando la luce avrà illuminato questo nuovo giorno
Libri di letteratura sparsi sulle lenzuola disfatte
Jack le prende in mano, ne legge una riga o un due pagine;
Cade nella sua mente, dove vengono definite le sue storie
Vede la ragazza che ha amato sulle verdi colline italiane;
La famiglia che si separa
E la tristezza fra questi due eventi
Dipingerà la sua vita sul muro, con un sorriso
Ma che notte perfetta per continuare ad andare avanti
Attraverso i fiumi del passato
E i ricordi del cambiamento;
E che giorno perfetto per continuare ad andare avanti
Io ritornerò quando la luce avrà illuminato questo nuovo giorno
Ma ecco che arrivano il buio e il pericolo
I lupi stanno ululando nella radura;
Ma ecco che arrivano il buio e pericolo
I fantasmi stanno ululando nella radura:
“…Non vi è tempo per la misericordia
Sono un uomo morente
Che vaga irrequieto, un fantasma senza terra…
… Molte ore ho camminato
Molte persone ho incontrato
Molte parole sbagliate ho detto –
La mia lingua era difficile da trattenere
Molti i posti in cui sono stato
Molti i paesi che ho visto
Non vi è altro che la pioggia a lavare via
I problemi di tutti gli esseri viventi.”
Ma che notte perfetta per continuare ad andare avanti
Attraverso i fiumi del passato
E i ricordi del cambiamento;
E che giorno perfetto per continuare ad andare avanti
Io ritornerò quando la luce avrà illuminato questo nuovo giorno
