I HEAR AGAIN
I'M A SOLDIER
I again hear in the tranquil moments
Janice Joplin singing old blues
about Bob McGee. Quartet
plays lucid music, brings me
again those familiar shocks of delight
I'm a soldier - and don't cry for me girl
but I am a solider - and don't cry for me girl.
(x2)
I continue to go, continue on the narrow path,
I pull up, the generations full of cuts,
Above me birds, hovering and free.
and the wind in the distances - like calling a merchant,
I'm a soldier - and don't cry for me girl
but I am a solider - and don't cry for me girl.
(x2)
I loved - moments of memories and mixed longings
on the table, stories of Chekhov,
like a stone that is untouched,
because I'm a man that's disguised as a soldier,
tied up in a coat of madmen -
so cry for me girl over the moments of loneliness,
the expectations and the years, and cry over
the two loving, far-away hearts.
