Joni Mitchell: Préachán Dubh/ Black Crow

PRÉACHÁN DUBH Tá préachán sa spéir Dubh is ceamach Crann go crann Chomh dubh leis an mbóthar mór atá ann É ag tumadh síos Chun breith ar rud éigin lonrach Mothaím ar nós an éin Eitlím I ngorm-spéir Do fuaireas bád go dtí an bóthar Is thiomáineas chuig eitleán Fuaireas eitleán go tacsaí Agus tacsaí chuig an traein Fada mé ar an ród Conas a aithneoidh mé an baile Tar éis a bheith i gcéin Táim mar phréachán dubh mo léan I ngoirme spéir’. Sa tóir ar ghrá is ceolta Mar sin 'bhí mo shaol Soilsiú anama Corbadh Is tumadh tumadh tumadh tumadh Tumadh síos chun breith ar gach aon rud lonrach Díreach ar nós an éin I ngorm-spéir Is romham bhí an mhaidin Mé gan suan gan srann Is chonac sa seomra folctha gur m’aghaidh bhí ann Is cad a bhí lasmuigh Ach an t-anam bocht is é ar fán Chonac préachán ag eitilt I ngorm-spéir Ó táim mar phréachán dubh mo léan I ngorm-spéir.

Black Crow There’s a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He’s black as the highway that’s leading me Now he’s diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took a ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I’ve been traveling so long How’m I ever going to know my home When I see it again I’m like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I’m like a black crow flying In a blue sky
