Alaska Lyrics English Translation by Bunbury
Let’s move to Alaska
To an invented village
That doesn’t appear on maps
Hasn’t been registered
And a radio program
Greets us in the morning with recited poems
In the background, a song from decades past
That speaks to us a bit about love
Surrounded by lakes
Forests and mountains
This light does you justice
There’s a vibrating frozen air
A slow tempo that walks unconsciously towards nothing
Today I have no shame
I forgot the warnings, only your presence
Is my protection, my aim
We are invited to the ceremony
Logic has no place here
Dance on a grave before the burial
Under the storm’s fierce cheer
You’re a brutal roaring beast
Disregarding its mission on earth
One door closes, others stand open
And you can step out and take flight
You’re a brutal roaring beast
That has finally left its cave
With renewed strength, fire in your gaze
And you want to go out and fly
You’re the changing of the guard
But I’m not in uniform
I’ve left the fortress behind
Surrendered my weapons to the storm
A long-distance train signals its arrival
I’ve asked forgiveness from everyone
Vanity for the fair, I’ve served my time, I’ve reprieved
Six degrees of separation from everyone
We are invited to the ceremony
Logic has no place here
Dance on a grave before the burial
Under the storm’s fierce cheer
You’re a brutal roaring beast
Disregarding its mission on earth
One door closes, others stand open
And you can step out and take flight
You’re a brutal roaring beast
That has finally left its cave
With renewed strength, fire in your gaze
And you want to go out and fly
