The man who sold the world

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World


Some days ago i saw a request for this song.
Here it is, dedicated to the memory Kurt Cobain, who made
a great cover of this song at MTV Unplugged.

Bye
Ofer.

We passed upon the stair
俺たちは階段ですれ違って
We spoke of was and when
昔のことを話した
Although I wasn’t there
俺はそこにいなかったのに
He said I was his friend
彼は俺のことを友達だって言ったんだ

Which came as a surprise
驚いたよ
I spoke into his eyes
俺は彼の目を見て言った
“I thought you died alone
「君は独りで死んだと思っていた
A long long time ago”
ずっとずっと前に」

Oh no, not me
ああ、俺じゃない
I never lost control
俺は決して自分を見失わなかった
You’re face to face
君は向き合っている
With the man who sold the world
世界を売った男と

I laughed and shook his hand
俺は可笑しくなって彼と握手して
And made my way back home
家路についた
I searched for form and land
俺は自分自身と居場所を求めて
For years and years I roamed
何年も歩き回った

I gazed a gazley stare
俺は目を凝らしてじっと見つめた
at all the millions here
ここにいる数え切れないほど多くの人々を
We must have died alone
俺たちは一緒に死んでいたに違いない
A long, long time ago
ずっとずっと前に

Who knows?
誰が分かる
Not me
俺はわからない
We never lost control
俺たちは決して自分を見失わなかった
You’re face to face
君は向き合っている
With the man who sold the world
世界を売った男と

Who knows?
誰がわかる?
Not me
俺はわからない
We never lost control
俺たちは決して自分を見失わなかった
You’re face to face
君は向き合っているんだ
With the man who sold the world
世界を売った男と
