Paul Simon: Idézetek angolul

“I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin',
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where.”

Paul Simon

Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard
Song lyrics, Paul Simon (1972)
Kontextus: I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin',
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where.
Goodbye to Rosie, the Queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard.

“These are the days of miracle and wonder,
This is the long distance call”

Paul Simon

The Boy In The Bubble
Song lyrics, Graceland (1986)
Kontextus: These are the days of miracle and wonder,
This is the long distance call,
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo,
The way we look to us all,
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky,
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry.

“We don't mean to mess things up,
But mess them up we do.”

Paul Simon

Everything About It Is a Love Song
Song lyrics, Surprise (2006)
Kontextus: We don't mean to mess things up,
But mess them up we do.
And then it's "Oh, I'm sorry."
Here's a smiling photograph
Of love when it was new.
At a birthday party.
Make a wish and close your eyes:
Surprise, surprise, surprise.

“I want to rid my heart of envy
And cleanse my soul of rage
Before I'm through.”

Paul Simon

Wartime Prayers
Song lyrics, Surprise (2006)
Kontextus: Because you cannot walk with the holy,
If you're just a halfway decent man.
But I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind
With a genius marketing plan.I'm trying to tap into some wisdom,
Even a little drop would do.
I want to rid my heart of envy
And cleanse my soul of rage
Before I'm through.

“I want a shot at redemption
Don’t want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard.”

Paul Simon

You Can Call Me Al
Song lyrics, Graceland (1986)
Kontextus: A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don’t want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard.

“And sometimes even music
Cannot substitute for tears.”

Paul Simon

The Cool, Cool River
Song lyrics, The Rhythm of the Saints (1990)

“I am a rock.
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain.
And an island never cries.”

Paul Simon

I Am a Rock
Song lyrics, Sounds of Silence (1966)
Forrás: Lyrics 1964-2008
Kontextus: I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock.
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain.
And an island never cries.

“Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again”

Paul Simon

The Sound of Silence Full lyrics online http://www.paul-simon.info/HTML/U-SOS.html <br class="br">Song lyrics, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. (1964) <br class="br">Kontextus: Hello darkness, my old friend<br>I&#x27;ve come to talk with you again<br>Because a vision softly creeping<br>Left its seeds while I was sleeping<br>And the vision that was planted in my brain<br>Still remains<br>Within the sound of silence.

“All I've got to do today is smile.”

Paul Simon

Változat: I've got nothing to do today but smile.

“We note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.”

Paul Simon

I grew up believing
God keeps his eye on us all.”

There were hints and allegations…”
