Luyện nghe bài hát La Rossa

(Hammill)

Lacking sleep and and vision
I am again, encamped upon your floor,
craving and nourishment,
and sanctity and more.
The streets very crowded,
I put on my guise-
I you know that I am acting,
I can see it in eyes.
In the harsh light of I know
that I cannot deny that I wasted time,
have it away in idle boasts
of my and fidelity,
when simpler words would profited me
most...
...it isn't enough in the end, I'm looking
for hope.
Though the screams
as the pipes begin to
still he'll go through the dance
just as as he thinks they'll fit,
just as long as he knows that dance, smile-
or quit.

Like the monkey I dance to a tune
when all of these years I've longed to lie you,
bogged myself down in the web of talk,
quack and sophistry-
at physiciality always baulked,
like the man in the chair who believes
him to walk.
I've been hiding words,
fearing a flame exists,
faintly aware of the
of opportunities I missed.
But the and the smell of you,
La Rossa from to toe...
I don't know I'm telling you,
but I think you to know
soon the dam wall will break, soon the
flow.
Though the groans
as the plays
hoping, at the most,
for an end to his dancing
he hops up and down on his perch
in the usual way.
Though it mean an end to all friendship
something I'm working up to say.

Think of me you will;
I know that you think you my pain-
no if that's just the surface.
If we made love now would change all
that has gone
Of course it would, there's no way it ever
be the same...
one line crossed,
one mystery explained.
Now I more than just words, though
the are plain that lead from all
action.
If we make love now it change all
is yet to be...
never we agree in the same way again.
One more lost,
one heaven gained.

La Rossa, you know me, you me as though
I am
though I know it there's no no way in I can

though it that you'll finish my story
at last I'd all the clever talk,
the joking, the and the quips,
all the conversations, all the friendship,
all the and all the trips
for the warmth of body,
the more touch of your lips.
All bridges behind me,
all beyond reach,
the monkey feels his out blindly,
only to find released.

me, take me now and hold me deep
inside ocean body,
wash me as some to the shore,
there leave me evermore!
Drown me, me now and hold me down
before naked hunger,
burn me at the of the night-
me life!
