Saulala|Saudade

feat. Greta Antanavičiūtė
Lyrics & music by L. U. Vilimaitė, 2015

Raudonas Mėnulis

Yra šalis, kur vilkai laksto,
Ten raudonas mėnulis negęsta.
Šalnos ten nusieja mišką,
Šaltos pėdos subraižytos liečia žemę.

Aš tyliu, ramiai žvelgiu,
       mėnulis kyla — 
         jis raudonas... 

Šiąnakt lietus virs į ledo krislus,
Jie padengs mano mažą pasaulį,
Jie įsmigs tau į širdį,
Bet raudonas mėnulis neužges.

(Aš tyliu... x2)

Tik žolė pilka priglaus mano sielą,
Tik vilkai sugaus mano mintį.

(Aš tyliu...)

Translation:

There is a land, where wolves are wandering,
Red moon is shining there,
The frost covers the woods in there,
Cold scratched feet touch that ground.

I'm all still, I look tranquilly —
the moon is rising,
it's all red...

Tonight rain will turn into crystals of ice,
They will cover my small world,
They will sink into your heart,
But the red moon won't fade out...

(I'm all still...)

Only the grey grass will shelter my soul,
Only the wolves will catch my thoughts.

(I'm all still...)

Text from Charles Bukowski

we must bring
our own light
to the
darkness.

nobody is going
to do it
for us.

as the young boys
ski
down the slopes

as the fry cook
gets his last
paycheck

as dog chases
dog

as the chessmaster
loses more than
the game

we must bring
our own light
to the
darkness.

nobody is going
to do it for us,

as the lonely
telephone
anybody
anywhere

as the great beast
trembles
in nightmare

as the final season
leaps into
focus

nobody is going
to do it
for us.

We Must
