Bright Eyes
By Mike Batt and performed by Art Garfunkel (released in 1979). Latin parody by Dylan Schrader.
| Is it a kind of dream Floating out on the tide Following the river of death downstream? Oh, is it a dream? |
Num somnio ipse? Fluminis aestibus Styge secunda adhuc fluitans An sim somnians? |
| There’s a fog along the horizon A strange glow in the sky And nobody seems to know where you go And what does it mean? Oh, is it a dream? |
Supra finientem caligo Caelumque candescit Ignotum videtur quo eatur Quid significans? An sim somnians? |
| Bright eyes Burning like fire Bright eyes How can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes |
Luces! Ignis instar Luces! Oculi clauduntur qui nunc ardere, nunc et pallere aegre creduntur. Luces! |
| Is it a kind of shadow Reaching into the night Wandering over the hills unseen Or is it a dream? |
Umbra an sit invisa Super colles pervagans Noctem et ipsa transverberans An sim somnians? |
| There’s a high wind in the trees A cold sound in the air And nobody ever knows when you go And where do you start Oh, into the dark |
In arboribus en ventus Frigide auditur Cunctis nescientibus singulis Loca et horas Inter tenebras |
| Bright eyes Burning like fire Bright eyes How can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes |
Luces! Ignis instar Luces! Oculi clauduntur, qui nunc ardere, nunc et pallere aegre creduntur. Luces! |
| Bright eyes Burning like fire Bright eyes How can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes |
Luces! Ignis instar Luces! Oculi clauduntur qui nunc ardere, nunc et pallere aegre creduntur. Luces! |
