Suzanne takes you down to her place newer the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that shes half crazy
But thats why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from china
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That youve always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For youve touched her perfect body with your mind.
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe youll trust him
For hes touched your perfect body with his mind.
Now Suzanne takes you hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From salvation army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For shes touched your perfect body with her mind.
Suzanne et porta a casa prop del riu
(traducció "sui generis"):
Vostè pot sentir els vaixells passar
Pot passar la nit al costat d'ella
I vostè sap que ella està mig boja
Però per això és que vull ser-hi
I ella et dóna de menjar te i taronges
Que recórrer tot el camí de la Xina
I just quan et refereixes a explicar la seva
Que no tens amor per donar-li
Llavors ella ho porta en la seva longitud d'ona
I es deixa la resposta del riu
Que sempre ha estat la seva amant
I vols viatjar amb ella
I del teu viatge a cegues
I vostè sap que va a confiar en tu
Perquè hi hagi tocat el seu cos perfecte amb la seva ment.
I Jesús era un mariner
Quan caminava sobre l'aigua
I va passar una llarga estona veient
Des de la seva solitària torre de fusta
I quan va tenir la certesa
Només els homes ofegats podrien veure
Ell va dir: "Tots els homes seran mariners llavors
Fins que el mar els lliure "
Però ell mateix s'havia trencat
Molt abans que el cel s'obre
Abandonat, gairebé humà
Es va enfonsar sota la teva saviesa com una pedra
I vols viatjar amb ell
I del teu viatge a cegues
I vostè pensa que potser vostè confia en ell
Per a ell és
