Текст песни Laurie Anderson - Kokoku

I come very briefly to this place I watch it move I watch it shake
Kumowaku yamano Watashino sakebi Watashino koewo
Ushano kokoku Watashiwa sokoni Watashiwa asobu
Mountain with clouds A cry My voice
Home of the brave I'm here now And lost

They say the dead will rise again And here they come now
Strange animals out of the Ice Age And they stare at you
Dumbfounded Like big mistakes And we say: Keep cool
Maybe if we pretend this never happened, they'll all just go away

Watashiwa sokoni Watashiwa asobu Mewotoji Mewotoji
Kikunowa kotori Watashino sakebi Watashino koewo
I am here in this place Losing My eyes are closed Closed
Birds are there Hearing something Shouting My voice
(And yet, we could all be wrong Wouldn't be the first time)

Kumowaku yamano Watashiwa sokoni Watashiwa asobu
Kumiwaku yamano Kikunowa kotori Watashino sakebi
Mountains with clouds I am there Lost
Mountains with clouds Birds are there Hearing something A shout

They say the world is smaller now Small world
They say that man is taller now Tall man
They say the stars are closer now Thank you, lucky stars
You come very briefly to this place
Jikanwa tomaru Ushano kokoku
Time is stopped Home of the brave

And on a very distant star, slimy creatures scan the skies
They've got plates for hands And telescopes for eyes And they say: Look! Down there, a haunted planet, spinning around
They say: Watch it move Watch it shake Watch it turn And shake
Watashiwa sokoni Watashiwa asobu Kumowaku yamano
Watashino sakebi Watashino koewo Mewotoji Mewotoji
I am there Lost Mountains with clouds
A cry A shout My eyes are shut Shut
And we say: Watch us move Watch us shake We're so pretty
We're so pretty We say: Watch us move now Watch us shake
We're so pretty Shake our hands Shake our heads We shake our feet
We're so fine The way we move The way we shake
We're so nice
