Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa
We keep on burying our dead
We keep on planting their bones in the ground
But they won't grow, the sun doesn't help
The rain doesn't help

If my garden would have a fence
Then the rabbits couldn't just come in
And sit on the grass and eat all the flowers
And shit
Hi, I'm Icarus
I'm falling down
Man for judgement must prepare me
Spare oh god in mercy
Spare me
Man I have a terrible feeling
That something's gone awful very wrong with the world
Is it something we made
Is it something we ate
Is it something we drank
Hi I'm Icarus
I'm falling
From the dust of earth
Returning back for judgement
We must prepare
Spare oh god and mercy
Spare me
Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa
They keep on burying our dead
They keep on planting their bones in the ground
But they won't grow
The sun doesn't help
And all we've got isn't a giant crop of names
And dates

Hi I'm Icarus, I'm falling down
On this day of tears and mourning
From the dust of earth returning
Man for judgement must prepare me
Spare oh god and mercy
Spare me
Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa dies ilia
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus,
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona els requiem.
En 'Lacrimosa' de Regina Spektor, se nos presenta una reflexión profunda sobre la muerte y la pérdida. La canción comienza con la imagen de enterrar a nuestros seres queridos y plantar sus huesos en la tierra, sin embargo, nada crece de ellos...
