эта композиция писалась похуистом-циником Брайаном Ферри (Roxy Music) как разухабистый невыебено замысловатый стеб над некоторыми моментами общественной жизни родной державы... Дейв привнес собственное видение))) и в его исполнении она стала шедевром безусловным - вне политики, амбиций и прочей гламурной херни. Это просто очень трогательно и красиво.
И для справки - при создании данного вот варианта шедевра активное участие принимал Джон Тейлор (Duran Duran), ну кто не знал)))Dave Gahan - Song For Europe
текстHere as I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we´ll never
Find again
Though the world
Is my oyster
It´s only a shell
Full of memories
And here by the Seine
Notre-Dame casts
A long lonely shadow
Now - only sorrow
No tomorrow
There´s no today for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday
These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession
Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge - it sighs...
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we´ll never
Find again
There´s no more time for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterdays
Here as I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you
Though the world
Is my oyster
It´s only a shell
Full of memories
And here by the Seine
Notre-Dame casts
A long lonely shadow
These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession
Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge - it sighs...
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we´ll never
Find again
There´s no today for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we´ll never
Find again
