paroles de chanson Edo Rose - Alex Edwards

well oh look at the bleeding edo rose
my sister, she cries alone
all would come to see the skilled samisen player
strum notes to the wind
intent to blow them afar
but none these days come for songs
the courts I tell this:
"well oh look at my sister the edo rose warm by the sun of long ago
though ever does she fade in the changing world
moored in the mist... what can you do?"
oh
"well, we will hear this rose
but should she not light our lamps
you must both at once
leave edo and its new song!"
where none these days come good on their word, eagerly...
we'll look at the bleeding edo rose warm by the sun of long ago
and ever did she soothe like sake smooth
moored in the mist are we who, scant we can do...
cos oh
if you wanted to paint the sun redder than the one we've become
you'll never be done
and silent since then
sister's dusty samisen
where she keeps her books
they brought across seas for us
and on these days run like rime to thaw
through seasons
well oh look at the bleeding edo rose warm by the sun of long ago
though ever did she glow in the willow world
clear went the mist she breathes through
but what can you do?
cos oh
if you wanted to paint the sun redder than the one we've become
you'll never be done
but I still weep for the world I know japan's sun has set finally
on the edo rose
