ROXY MUSIC : A SONG FOR EUROPE (1973)

in MUSIC on with 5 Comments Share 5

Αυτό το αριστούργημα από το τρίτο και μακράν καλύτερο άλμπουμ των Roxy (πρώτο μετά την αποχώρηση του Eno) γράφτηκε από τον Bryan Ferry και τον σαξοφωνίστα του γκρουπ, Andy Mackay.
This masterpiece, from Roxy’s third album and best by far (first after Eno’s departure), was written by Bryan Ferry and the band’s sax player, Andy Mackay.

Here as I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we´ll never
Find again
Though the world
Is my oyster
It´s only a shell
Full of memories
And here by the seine
Notre-dame casts
A long lonely shadow
Now – only sorrow
No tomorrow
There´s no today for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday

These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession
Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge – it sighs …
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we´ll never
Find again
There´s no more time for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterdays

Ecce momenta
Illa mirabilia
Quae captabit
In aeternum
Memor
Modo dolores
Sunt in dies
Non est reliquum
Vero tantum
Comminicamus
Perdita
Tous ces moments
Perdus dans l`enchantement
Qui ne reviendront
Jamais
Pas d´aujourd´hui pour nous
Pour nous il n´y a rien
A partager
Sauf le passé

    Love Bryan Ferry, This Song for Europe pasted me by in 1973… And if I am honest, I can easily pass by Songs for Europe in our present day… Thank you for sharing this one… 🙂 Have a great Sunday

        🙂 and we left the EU. I was one of many of the Brexit voters to leave.. … But it was in Name Only as the establishment kept dragging their heals and Now deals are being done with our PM in EU that the people have not voted for… .. Lots of Turbulence yet to surface . But it all needs to be brought to the surface for everyone to see…

        Sending much love to you both <3

          Out of respect for you and other people I cannot express my true feelings for mr. Starmer (he represents …you after all, supposedly).
          Buy I think he’s one of the worst things ever to happen to a country I always loved and admired.
          Lets hope for the best.
          Love to you Sue from both of us!
