Arti Lirik Suzanne Vega - The Queen And The Soldier

The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
Prajurit itu mengetuk pintu ratu
He said, “I am not fighting for you any more”
Dia berkata, “Saya tidak memperjuangkanmu lagi”
The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
Ratu tahu dia pernah melihat wajahnya sebelumnya
And slowly she let him inside.
Dan pelan-pelan dia membiarkannya masuk.


He said, “I've watched your palace up here on the hill
Dia berkata, “Saya telah melihat istana Anda di atas bukit ini
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
Dan aku bertanya-tanya siapa wanita yang kita semua bunuh
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
Tapi saya akan berangkat besok dan Anda bisa melakukan apa yang Anda inginkan
Only first I am asking you why.”
Pertama-tama aku bertanya kenapa. “


Down in the long narrow hall he was led
Turun di aula sempit yang panjang ia dipimpin
Into her rooms with her tapestries red
Ke kamarnya dengan permadani merahnya
And she never once took the crown from her head
Dan dia tidak pernah mengambil mahkota dari kepalanya
She asked him there to sit down.
Dia memintanya duduk di sana.


He said, “I see you now, and you are so very young
Dia berkata, “Saya melihat Anda sekarang, dan Anda sangat muda
But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
Tapi saya telah melihat lebih banyak pertempuran yang hilang daripada pertempuran yang saya hadapi
And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun
Dan aku punya intuisi ini, mengatakan itu semua untuk kesenanganmu
And now will you tell me why?”
Dan sekarang, bisakah Anda memberi tahu saya mengapa? “


The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
Ratu muda itu, dia menatapnya dengan mata sombong
She said, “You won't understand, and you may as well not try”
Dia berkata, “Anda tidak akan mengerti, dan Anda mungkin juga tidak mencoba”
But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
Tapi wajahnya seperti anak kecil, dan dia pikir dia akan menangis
But she closed herself up like a fan.
Tapi dia menutup diri seperti kipas angin.


And she said, “I've swallowed a secret burning thread
Dan dia berkata, “Saya telah menelan sebuah benang merah yang tersembunyi
It cuts me inside, and often I've bled”
Ini memotong saya di dalam, dan sering saya sudah berdarah “
He laid his hand then on top of her head
Dia meletakkan tangannya lalu di atas kepalanya
And he bowed her down to the ground.
Dan dia membungkuk ke tanah.


“Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel
“Katakan betapa lapar Anda? Seberapa lemah perasaan Anda
As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed
Saat Anda tinggal di sini sendirian, dan Anda tidak pernah mengungkapkannya
But I won't march again on your battlefield”
Tapi saya tidak akan berbaris lagi di medan perang Anda “
And he took her to the window to see.
Dan dia membawanya ke jendela untuk melihat.


And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray
Dan matahari, itu emas, meski langit, warnanya abu-abu
And she wanted more than she ever could say
Dan dia menginginkan lebih dari yang bisa dia katakan
But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away
Tapi dia tahu bagaimana ketakutannya, dan dia berpaling
And would not look at his face again.
Dan tidak akan melihat wajahnya lagi.


And he said, “I want to live as an honest man
Dan dia berkata, “Saya ingin hidup sebagai orang yang jujur
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
Untuk mendapatkan semua yang pantas saya dapatkan dan berikan yang saya bisa
And to love a young woman who I don't understand
Dan untuk mencintai seorang wanita muda yang saya tidak mengerti
Your highness, your ways are very strange.”
Yang Mulia, jalanmu sangat aneh. “


But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
Tapi mahkota, itu telah jatuh, dan dia pikir dia akan putus
And
Dan
