Father Death Blues

Allen Ginsberg

作曲 : Allen Ginsberg

Hey father death

I'm flying home

Hey poor man

You're all alone

Hey old daddy

I know where I'm going

Father death

Don't cry any more

Mama's there

Underneath the floor

Brother death

Please mind the store

Old aunty death

Don't hide your bones

Old uncle death

I hear your groans

O sister death

How sweet your moans

O children deaths

Go breathe your breaths

Sobbing breasts'll ease your deaths

Pain is gone

Tears take the rest

Genius death

Your art is done

Lover death

Your body's gone

Father death

I'm coming home

Guru death

Your words are true

Teacher death

I do thank you

For inspiring me to sing this Blues

Buddha death

I wake with you

Dharma death

Your mind is new

Sangha death

We'll work it through

Suffering is what was born

Ignorance made me forlorn

Tearful truths I cannot scorn

Father Breath once more farewell

Birth you gave was no thing ill

My heart is still, as time will tell

Guru death

Your words are true

Teacher death

I do thank you

For inspiring me to sing this Blues

Father Breath once more farewell

Birth you gave was no thing ill

My heart is still, as time will tell
