Regina Spektor Lyrics

"Apres Moi"

I, oh, must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your soul
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le delugé
After me comes the flood

I, oh, must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't isn't yours yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le delugé
After me comes the flood

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le delugé
After me flood

Февраль. Достать чернил и плакать!
Писать о феврале навзрыд,
Пока грохочущая слякоть
Весною черною горит.

Февраль. Достать чернил и плакать!
Писать о феврале навзрыд,
Пока грохочущая слякоть
Весною черною горит.

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le delugé
After me comes the flood

I, oh, must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

I, oh, must go on standing
You can't can't break that that which isn't isn't yours yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not not my own, it's not not my choice

The Russian part is taken from the poem February (Февраль) by Boris Pasternak. English translation: February. Get ink, shed tears. Write of it, sob your heart out, sing, while torrential slush that roars burns in the blackness of the spring.
