A Momentary Lapse Of Reason

 

Signs of Life  (Gilmour, Ezrin)
(Instrumental)
 Learning to Fly  (Gilmour,Moore,Ezrin,Carin)

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
    Friction lock - set.
    Mixture - rich
    Propellers - fully forward
    Flaps - set - 10 degrees
    Engine gauges and suction - check

    Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
    Flight instruments...
    Altimeters - check both
    (garbled word) - on
    Navigation lights - on
    Strobes - on
    (to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure
    (tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4
    (to tower): 129.4. It's to go.
    (tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
    (to tower): 3-8-Echo
    Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
    Just hand the power gradually, and it...
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Aprendiendo a volar

En la distancia, una cinta de negro
Estirado al punto de sin vuelta atr�s
Un vuelo de fantas�a en un campo azotado por el viento
Parado solo mis sentidos tambalean
Una atracci�n fatal agarr�ndome r�pido, �C�mo
Puedo escapar de este irresistible control?

No puedo guardar mis ojos de los cielos rodeantes
Con la lengua pegada y torsido
S�lo un inadaptado terrestre, yo

El hielo se est� formando en las puntas de mis alas
Precauciones desatendidas, cre� que pens� en todo
Sin navegador para guiar mi camino a casa
Sin carga, vac�o, y transformado en piedra

Un alma en tensi�n eso es aprender a volar
Condicionado a la tierra pero determinado a tratar
No puedo guardar mis ojos de los cielos rodeantes
Con la lengua pegada y torsido s�lo un inadaptado terrestre, yo

Sobre el planeta en un ala y una oraci�n
Mi mugriento halo, un rastro de vapor en aire vac�o
A trav�s de las nubes veo mi sombra volar
Fuera de la esquina de mi lacrimoso ojo
Un sue�o sin amenaza de la luz de la ma�ana
Podr�a soplar esta alma derecho a trav�s del techo de la noche

No hay sensaci�n comparable a esto
Animaci�n suspendida un estado de dicha
No puedo guardar mis ojos de los cielos rodeantes
Con la lengua pegada y torsido s�lo un inadaptado terrestre, yo

The Dogs of War  (Gilmour, Manzanera)

Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don't discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather 'round and haggle
For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
Even our masters don't know the web we weave

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world

Invisible transfers, long distance calls,
Hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
Has unleashed the dogs of war
You can't stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world

The dogs of war don't negotiate
The dogs of war won't capitulate,
They will take and you will give,
And you must die so that they may live
You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you know they've been there before
Well winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world

Los perros de guerra

Perros de guerra y hombres de odio
Sin causa, no discriminamos
Descubrimiento es para ser confiscado
Nuestro circulante es carne y hueso
Infierno abierto y puesto en venta
Re�ne alrededor y regatea
Por duro efectivo, mentiremos y enga�aremos
Incluso nuestros maestros no conocen las redes que tramamos

Un mundo, es un campo de batalla
Un mundo, y lo destrozaremos
Un mundo ... un mundo

Transferencias invisibles, llamadas de larga distancia
Risotadas vac�as en salones de m�rmol
Los pasos han sido tomados, un silencioso alboroto
Ha desatado a los perros de guerra
No puedes detener lo que ha comenzado
Firmado, sellado, entregan olvido
Todos tenemos un lado oscuro, por decir lo menos
Y negociar en la muerte es la naturaleza de la bestia

Un mundo, es un campo de batalla
Un mundo, y lo destrozaremos
Un mundo ... un mundo

Los perros de guerra no negociar�n
Los perros de guerra no capitular�n
Tomar�n y t� dar�s
Y debes morir para que ellos puedan vivir
Puedes golpear en cualquier puerta
Pero adonde vayas, sabes que ellos han estado all� antes
Buenos ganadores pueden perder y las cosas pueden ponerse tensas
Pero lo que sea que cambies, sabes que los perros permanecer�n

Un mundo, es un campo de batalla
Un mundo, y lo destrozaremos
Un mundo ... un mundo

 One Slip

A restless eye across a weary room
A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
The music played and played as we whirled without end
No hint, no word her honour to defend

I will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I lead the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence

One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won't forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight

Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone

One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you will never forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight

Un resbal�n

Un ojo sin descanso a trav�s de un aburrido sal�n
Una mirada vidriada y estaba en el camino a la ruina
La m�sica toc� y toc� como d�bamos vueltas sin fin
Sin pista, sin palabra defender su honor

Lo har�, lo har� ella suspir� a mi requerimiento
Y entonces tir� su melena mientras mi decisi�n fue puesta en prueba
Luego se ahog� en el deseo, nuestras almas en fuego
Gui� el camino a la hoguera funeral
Y sin un pensamiento de la consecuencia
Me rend� a mi decadencia

Un resbal�n, y bajo el ollo ca�mos
Parece no tomar tiempo en absoluto
Un moment�neo lapso de raz�n
Que ata una vida por vida
Un peque�o arrepentimiento, no olvidar�s,
No habr� sue�o aqu� esta noche

�Fue amor, o fue la idea de estar enamorado?
�O fue la mano de la fe, que pareci� acomodarse como un guante?
El momento resbal� y pronto las semillas fueron sembradas
El a�o creci� tarde y ninguno quiso permanecer solo

Un resbal�n, y bajo el ollo ca�mos
Parece no tomar tiempo en absoluto
Un moment�neo lapso de raz�n
Que ata una vida por vida
Un peque�o arrepentimiento, no olvidar�s,
No habr� sue�o aqu� esta noche


 On the Turning Away

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

En el alejamiento

En el alejamiento
De el p�lido y pisoteado
Y las palabras que dicen
Las cuales no entenderemos
"No acepten que lo que est� pasando
Es solo un caso de otros sufriendo
O encontrar�s que te est�s uniendo a
El alejamiento"

Es un pecado que de alguna forma
La luz est� cambiando a sombras
Y fundiendo su manto
Sobre todo lo que hemos conocido
Inconsciente de cuanto las categor�as han crecido
Manejados por un coraz�n de piedra
Podr�amos encontrar que estamos todos solos
En el sue�o del orgullo

En las alas de la noche
Como el d�a es conmovedor
Donde los mudos se unen
En un silencioso acorde
Usando palabras que encontrar�s extra�as
Y fascinados como encienden la llama
Siente el nuevo viento de cambio
En las alas de la noche

No m�s alejamiento
De el d�bil y el rendido
No m�s alejamiento
De la frialdad interior
S�lo una palabra que todo debemos compartir
No es suficiente con solo pararse y mirar
�Es solo un sue�o que no habr�
m�s alejamiento?

 Yet Another Movie  (Gilmour, Leonard)

One sound, one single sound
One kiss, one single kiss
A face outside the window pane
However did it come to this?

A man who ran, a child who cried
A girl who heard, a voice that lied
The sun that burned a fiery red
The vision of an empty bed

The use of force, he was so tough
She'll soon submit, she's had enough
The march of fate, the broken will
Someone is lying very still

He has laughed and he has cried
He has fought and he has died
He's just the same as all the rest
He's not the worst, he's not the best

And still this ceaseless murmuring
The babbling that I brook
The seas of faces, eyes upraised
The empty screen, the vacant look

A man in black on a snow white horse,
A pointless life has run its course,
The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
As he fades into the setting sun
    M: You're going on that plane to take you where you belong.
    W: But no, I have...
    M: You have got to listen to me. Do you have any idea what
    you have to look forward to if you stay here? Nine chances out of 10 we both end up in a concentration camp and that....
    W: You're only saying these things to make me go.
    M: I'm saying it 'cause it's true. Inside us, we both know we belong in different......
    ....maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.
    W: But what about us?
    But what about us?
    But what about us?

A�n otra pel�cula

Un sonido, un solo sonido
Un beso, un solo beso
Una cara fuera del cristal de la ventana
�Sin embargo vino a esto?

Un hombre que corri�, un ni�o que llor�
Una chica que escuch�, una voz que minti�
El sol que quem� un fogoso rojo
La visi�n de una cama vac�a

El uso de fuerza, �l era tan fuerte
Ella pronto ceder�, ha tenido suficiente
La marcha de la fe, la esperanza rota
Alguien est� yaciendo muy quieto

�l ha re�do y �l ha llorado
�l ha peleado y �l ha muerto
�l es el mismo que todo el resto
�l no es el peor, �l no es el mejor

Y a�n este incesante murmullo
El balbuceo que soporto
Los mares de rostros, ojos levantados
La pantalla vac�a, la mirada desocupada

Un hombre en negro en un caballo blanco como la nieve
Una vida sin punto que ha marchado su rumbo
Los ojos rojos confinados, las l�grimas a�n corren
Como se desvanece en el sol poniente

 Round and Round  (Gilmour)

(Instrumental)
 A New Machine - Part I  (Gilmour)

I have always been here
I have always looked out from behind the eyes
It feels like more than a lifetime
Feels like more than a lifetime

Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
Sometimes I get tired of being in here
Is this the way it has always been?
Could it ever have been different?

Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
Do you ever get tired of being in there?
Don't worry, nobody lives forever,
Nobody lives forever

Una nueva m�quina - parte 1

Siempre he estado ah�
Siempre he mirado fuera detr�s de estos ojos
Se siente m�s que una �poca de vida
Se siente m�s que una �poca de vida

A veces me canso de la espera
A veces me canso de estar aqu�
�Es esta la forma en que siempre ha sido?
�Podr�a haber sido diferente alguna vez?

�Alguna vez te cansas de la espera?
�Alguna vez te cansas de estar ah�?
No te preocupes, nadie vive para siempre,
Nadie vive para siempre

Terminal Frost (Gilmour)

(Instrumental)
 A New Machine - Part II  (Gilmour)

I will always be in here
I will always look out from behind these eyes
It's only a lifetime
It's only a lifetime
It's only a lifetime

Una nueva m�quina - parte 2

Siempre estar� aqu�
Siempre mirar� desde tras de estos ojos
Es s�lo una �poca de vida
Es s�lo una �poca de vida
Es s�lo una �poca de vida

 Sorrow  (Gilmour)

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking

He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough

His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered

One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls
 

It's not enough it's not enough
His hand has faltered
.... .... ......

And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be

There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder that words,
Of promises broken
