The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows
Andre De Ridder, Damon Albarn, Simon Tong, John Clare
You were gone, the dark journey there
Leaves no returning
It's fruitless for me to mourn you
But, who can help mourning?
To think of life, that did laugh on your face
In the beautiful past left so desolate now
When you've seemed immortal
So sweet it did we
Heaven's halo around you
Earth's hope to deceive
You were the fairest and dearest
Where many were fair, to my heart you were nearest
The year has it's winter as well as it's May
The sweetest leavers and the fairest decay
The nearer the fountain, more pure the stream flows
To think of life, that did laugh on your face
In the beautiful past left so desolate now
When you've seemed immortal
So sweet it did we
Heaven's halo around you
Around you
Earth's hope to deceive
Around you
Around you
The nearer the fountain, more pure the stream flows
You were gone, the dark journey there
Te fuiste, el oscuro viaje allí
Leaves no returning
No deja retorno
It's fruitless for me to mourn you
Es inútil para mí lamentarte
But, who can help mourning?
Pero, ¿quién puede evitar el luto?
To think of life, that did laugh on your face
Pensar en la vida, que se reía en tu rostro
In the beautiful past left so desolate now
En el hermoso pasado tan desolado ahora
When you've seemed immortal
Cuando parecías inmortal
So sweet it did we
Tan dulce nos parecía
Heaven's halo around you
El halo del cielo alrededor de ti
Earth's hope to deceive
La esperanza de la tierra para engañar
You were the fairest and dearest
Eras el más justo y querido
Where many were fair, to my heart you were nearest
Donde muchos eran justos, para mi corazón eras el más cercano
The year has it's winter as well as it's May
El año tiene su invierno así como su mayo
The sweetest leavers and the fairest decay
Los más dulces se van y los más bellos decaen
The nearer the fountain, more pure the stream flows
Cuanto más cerca la fuente, más puro fluye el arroyo
To think of life, that did laugh on your face
