Перевод песни

Песня: Ancestress
My skull is my cathedral
Where this matrimort takes place,
When I was a girl she sang for me
In falsetto lullabies with sincerity,
I thank her for her integrity.

My ancestress' clock is ticking,
Her once vibrant rebellion is fading,
I am her hopekeeper,
I assure hope is there
At all times.

My ancestress has left all manners,
Her pulsating skin rebelling,
The doctors she despised
Placed a pacemaker inside her.

When you're out of time,
How you look back changes,
Did you punish us for leaving?
Are you sure we hurt you?
Was it just not "living"?

She had idiosyncratic sense of rhythm,
Dyslexia, the ultimate freeform,
She invents words & adds syllables,
Hand-writing, language all her own.

I don't have that story in my mouth,
When you die, you bring with you what you've given.

The machine of her breathed all night
While she rested,
Revealed her resilience,
And then it didn't.

You see with your own eyes
But hear with your mother's,
There's fear of being absorbed
By the other.

By now, we share the same flesh,
As much as I tried to escape it,
This is no mediocre debris,
My ancestress, this is

The odour of our final parting,
Those have been
The perfumes of separation for centuries,
The perfumes of separation for centuries,
Ancestress.

Nature wrote this psalm,
It expands this realm,
Translucent skin let go of
A cold palm embalmed.

Перевод песни:
Прародительница

Мой череп — мой собор,
Где идёт свадебная тризна,
Когда я была дитя, она пела
Мне фальцетом искренние колыбельные,
И я благодарю её за честность.

Часы моей прародительницы тикают,
Её некогда бодрое сопротивление угасает,..... [открыть перевод]
