Текст песни: Skin and Concrete + перевод

I stood on the street, in the drizzling rain.

The brick roads are slippery in this ambiguous town.

No one took notice. No one around.

Except umbrellas and bicycles, passing without a sound.

The one whose skin meets concrete,

whose daugther is this girl?

Her name is tagged all over town

on skin and concrete.

A pink, french balcony. The light inside was dim.

Reflections of motion dancing on the curtains.

One window half open so I whispered to him.

But it was she who opened, a girl of my age, about 15.

The one whose skin meets concrete

Whose daugther is this girl?

Her name is tagged all over town

on skin and concrete

So I won’t forget her.

So I won’t forget her.

Get her.

I stared like a child. Thank you innocence.

I asked pale, naked girl what she did down on the floor.

The answer she gave me

at the time, made no sense:

«Take your eyes off me

while I inject my indifference.»

The one whose skin meets concrete

Whose daughter is this girl?

Her name is tagged

all over town,

on skin and concrete

So I won’t forget her.

Did you long for that last shot?

Was it good to forget?

Did they buy you a nice coffin

with red roses on?

And when someone wonders:

«What happened to your lovely daughter?»

They will simply say:

«She just slipped away.»
