Luyện nghe bài hát La Rossa

(Hammill)

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

Like the monkey I to a strange tune
all of these years I've longed to lie with you,
I've myself down in the web of talk,
philosophy and sophistry-
at physiciality always baulked,
the man in the chair who believes it's
him to walk.
I've been behind words,
fearing a flame exists,
aware of the passage
of I have missed.
But the nearness and the of you,
La from head to toe...
I don't what I'm telling you,
but I think you ought to
soon the dam wall break, soon the water
flow.
Though the organ-monkey
as the plays
hoping, at the most,
for an end to his days;
still he hops up and on his perch
in the usual way.
Though it mean an end to all friendship
there's something I'm up to say.

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

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

though it means 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 of your body,
the vivid touch of your lips.
All bridges behind me,
all safety reach,
the feels his chains out blindly,
only to himself released.

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