Record Channel Watch Another




not not to be fascinated by the text of this song by Pink Floyd. Adapted from the legendary album The Dark Side Of The Moon, Is the perfect balance between text and music, both at a level unsurpassed and never exceeded. A text to reflect on the time it runs well on me that we should be impressed, to frame and re-read often.

Time - Pink Floyd -
Ticking away the moments That make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting
for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun,
But it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but 're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never Seem To Find The Time
Plans That Either as to naught Or half
a page of scribbled lines Hanging on
in quiet desperation is the way Inglese
The time is gone The song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say
TEXT TRANSLATION
Marking the moments that make a sad day
wasted and you lose the hours in a street outlying
Wandering in a part of your city
Waiting for someone or something will show the way
Tired of being in the sun,
to stay at home watching the rain
You are young and life is long,
have time to kill today the
And then one day you discover that you left behind ten years
No one told you when to run
And you missed the tee shot
And run and run to catch the sun
But is falling
E turning again to reappear behind you
The sun is the same in the same way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that value
Or half a page of scribbled
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English
The time is gone,
The song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say
