maple leaves

Φθινοπώριασε στα τέλη του Μάη και από το πρωί γυρνάει η μελωδία του Maple Leaves στο κεφάλι μου, αυτό το τραγούδι πάντα μου θυμίζει φθινόπωρο, γκρι ουρανούς και ένα ψυχρό αεράκι να φυσάει τα χρυσοκόκκινα ξερά φύλλα, από τα πιο όμορφα τραγούδια του Jens, μέχρι και στα σουηδικά μου αρέσει να το ακούω, από τους πιο witty στίχους ever.

It's autumn in Gothenburg
I'm walking home to my suburb
Rain falls hard on the city
on every homeless kitty

Oh please god bring relief
even if it's only brief
that she says the dreamer just make-believe
but I thought she said maple leaves

So we talked for hours
and you cried into my sheets
you said you hated your body
that it was just a piece of meat, I disagreed

I think you're beautiful
but it's impossible
to make you understand
that if you don't take my hand
I lose my mind completely
Madness will finally defeat me

She said it was all make-belief
but I thought you said maple leaves
and when she talked about the fall
I thought she talked about the season
I never understood at all

I thought she said maple leaves
and when she talked about about the fall
I thought she talked about Mark E Smith
I never understood at all
