Текст песни: Ankara Sundays + перевод

Yesterday she said her prayers and thank yous

Morning heat crowding her room and thighs

She could taste the salty fight begin

Before it even started

Yesterday the rains were heavy last night

Woke her to attention once or twice

But there’s water for bath or tea now

And she could smell the hunger of her sex and arms

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Ankara Sunday

Gonna put her lace on

Forget about things for a while

Ankara Sunday

Puttin' her best face on

Smile until the sun goes down

Yesterday she had okada wings on

Flying home in prayer and dust

Saw more sadness than she should have to

Listening for mercy along the bitter road

Yesterday’s night shadows were still hungry

But there’s no light to move the air

She could feel the sickness moving through her

And the mosquitoes resting on her bellow

Ankara Sunday

Gonna put her lace on

Forget about things for a while

Ankara Sunday

Puttin' her best face on

Smile until the sun goes down

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Ankara Sunday

Gonna put her lace on

Forget about things for a while

Ankara Sunday

Puttin' her best face on

Smile until the sun goes down

Ankara Sunday

Gonna put her lace on

Forget about things for a while

Ankara Sunday

Puttin' her best face on

Smile until the sun goes down

Hopefully she’ll sleep

While generators hum one thousand lullabies

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Hopefully she’ll dream

While city lights exhale one thousand sighs

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Ankara Sunday

Gonna put her lace on

Forget about things for a while

Ankara Sunday

Puttin' her best face on

Smile until the sun goes down
