House with no Door

Photo in Bucharest : Lipscani, Buzesti, Gabroveni

There's a house with no door and I'm living there

at nights it gets so cold and the days are hard to bear inside.

There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in,

falling through my head as I try to think out time.

I don't know you, you say you know me, that may be so,

there's so much that I am unsure of ...

You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel,

my body's rejecting the cure.

There's a house with no bell, but then nobody calls;

I sometimes find it hard to tell if any are alive at all outside.

There's a house with no sound; yes, it's quiet there ...

there's not much point in words if there's no-one to share in time.

I've learned my lines, I know them so well, I am ready to tell

whoever will finally come in

Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night, it doesn't seem right

when there's that little dark figure running ...

There's a house with no door and there's no living there:

one day it became a wall ... well I didn't really care at the time.

There's a house with no light, all the windows are sealed,

overtaxed and strained NOW NOTHING IS REVEALED BUT TIME

Won't somebody help me ......?

Van Der Graaf Generator - House With No Door lyrics



Nu-i nimic, e-n regulă,
mai aşteptăm două sute de ani,
ce-o să fie, un biet accident istoric,
o socoteală matematică greşită,
suntem în Estul Europei, nu uitaţi.
Ruşii, da, Maghiarii, da,
Polonezii, da, Bulgarii, da,
noi, nu, noi nu, noi nu progresăm,
că se interpretează,
când nu voiau vecinii,
noi nu puteam, n-aveam voie,
când vor vecinii,
nu vrem noi, n-avem nevoie,
asta e, aşa suntem noi, ai dracului,
daţi în Paşte, asta e, daţi în Paşte,
nu-i nimic, e-n regulă,
mai vedem noi, mai vedem,
aveţi răbdare, nu bateţi din picioare,
nu vă pripiţi
noi regresăm cu plăcere,
noi regresăm cu talent,
noi nu ne luăm după nimeni
decât când regresează.
Două sute de ani! Atât!
Aveţi răbdare, nu chemaţi salvarea,
nu exageraţi, nu cricniţi,
regresaţi cu noi!

Înapoi, marş!
