John Cale - Lagu Gideon's Bible Lirik Terjemahan

Holding on, with both eyes, to things that don't exist
Memegang, dengan kedua mata, untuk hal-hal yang tidak ada
Peering through the cutting wrist, at grand old mother greedy
Mengintip melalui pergelangan tangan, pada grand old mother serakah
Rolling out the cotton ship, upon the carpet pillow
Rolling out kapal kapas, di atas bantal karpet
Throttling children callously, a messy day with Clancy
Meremehkan anak-anak dengan ceroboh, hari yang berantakan bersama Clancy


Gideon lied and Gideon died
Gideon berbohong dan Gideon meninggal
The force of China felt
Kekuatan China terasa
Gideon smiled as Gideon died
Gideon tersenyum saat Gideon meninggal
The thought of China held.
Pikiran tentang China dipegang.


Rolling out the golden robes and other foreign language
Menggulung jubah emas dan bahasa asing lainnya
Stretching out the verbs and nouns together in the greeting
Peregangan keluar kata kerja dan kata benda bersama dalam ucapan
Some that felt the blade often, some deep confused emotion
Beberapa di antaranya sering merasakan pisau itu, beberapa emosi bingung
Struck eye first against the wall of China under fire.
Memukul mata pertama melawan dinding China di bawah api.


Gideon lied and Gideon died
Gideon berbohong dan Gideon meninggal
The force of China felt
Kekuatan China terasa
Gideon smiled as Gideon died
Gideon tersenyum saat Gideon meninggal
The thought of China held.
Pikiran tentang China dipegang.
