Peter Gabriel & Deep Forest – While The Earth Sleeps –
This video invokes images that show that while we are still toddlers when it comes to our space travels so far… That we are ultimately meant to leave… this … our womb – planet – home – beginning place and live elsewhere… Although the lyrics originally are the lament of a lovestruck young girl grounded for seeing a boy… The words reflect mankind’s longstanding desire to “slip the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God”… It Seems That Maybe Mother Has Relented Just A Bit… We’re getting out of the house…
If only to just play in the front yard for the time being…
Original lyrics in Macedonian:
Dali znaesh mila majko
shto sum ne srekjna
Cel den doma sama sedam
Nadvor ne smejam
English translation:
Do you know, mother,
How unlucky I am?
All day I sit at home,
I am not allowed outside
The music is pretty good too…
