Regina Spektor:Après Moi

From LyricWiki

This song is performed by Regina Spektor and appears on the album Begin To Hope (2006).

I—uh—must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I—uh—must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

La-da-da, da-da-da

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me comes the flood

I—uh—must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't-isn't yours-yours
I—uh—must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

La-da-da, da-da-da
Ah, uh, uh, ah, uh
La.. da.. da...
La-da-da

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me comes the flood

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me the flood

Февраль. Достать чернил и плакать!
Писать о феврале навзрыд,
Пока грохочущая слякоть
Весною черною горит.

I—uh—must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I—uh—must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

I—uh—must go on stand—stand—ing—dong
You can't—can't—break that—that—which isn't-isn't yours—yours
I—uh—must go on stand—stand—ing—dong
I'm not—not—my own—own—it's not—not—my choice

[edit] Romanized Russian

Fevral'. Dostat' chernil i plakat'!
Pisat' o fevrale navzryd,
Poka grohochuschaya slyakot'
Vesnoyu chernoyu gorit.

Fevral'. Dostat' chernil i plakat'!
Pisat' o fevrale navzryd,
Poka grohochuschaya slyakot'
Vesnoyu chernoyu gorit.

[edit] English Translation

February. To reach inks and to cry! To write about February sobbing, Thus far crashing slush It burns with in spring black. February. To reach inks and to cry! To write about February sobbing, Thus far crashing slush It burns with in spring black.

I like better this translation:

It's February, feel the writing and shed tears.
Writing of it and sobbing.
While the crashing of slush,
Burns in the blackness of the spring.
