Sekawanan pisau memotong langit
and buried in my black eyes
dan terkubur di mata hitamku
and the clouds they bled in my head
dan awan mereka berdarah di kepalaku
and autumn rain soaked the dry beds
dan hujan musim gugur membasahi tempat tidur kering
and the hurricane of her eyes
dan topan matanya
wailed away the knives
meratap pisau itu
the knives of summertime, summertime
pisau musim panas, musim panas
the knives of summertime, summertime
pisau musim panas, musim panas
the knives of summertime
pisau musim panas
and I did swallow stained glass tears
dan saya menelan air mata bernoda
absorbed by the sun for many light years
diserap oleh sinar matahari selama bertahun-tahun cahaya
and the fire flies in her hair
dan api terbang di rambutnya
my red concertinas coming down the stairs
concertinas merahku menuruni tangga
and the hurricane of her eyes
dan topan matanya
wailed away the knives
meratap pisau itu
the knives of summertime, summertime
pisau musim panas, musim panas
the knives of summertime, summertime
pisau musim panas, musim panas
the knives of summertime
pisau musim panas
