Dust Lyrics – Elvis Costello
Singer: Elvis Costello
Title: Dust
If only dust could talk, what would we hear it say?
Before it’s brushed aside just as it’s swept away
It’s just the evidence, it’s of no consequence
It’s only flesh and bone, why don’t we leave it alone?
If dust could only speak, caught in a falling beam
If dust could only cry, if dust could only scream
For it’s the single witness that might testify
Could I spit out the truth or would you rather just swallow a lie?
But dust is always caught beneath a coat of paint
Beneath the marble fingernails of kings and saints
And in the theatre curtain where they hang a drape
And in the ticket pocket where your hands escape
Before they start to wander and they start to shrink
You rub your eye a little and appear to blink
But when she caught you staring, she knows what you’re thinking
What got into you was not a ghost as such, it was just dust
Here come The Poisoners
They choke the life and land and rob the joy from us
Why do they taste of sugar, oh, when they’re made of money
Here come the lamb of God and the butcher’s boy Sonny
Why did they dam the land? Why did they flood the plain?
Did they erase the stain or wipe away the name?
You kept your mouth well shut, appeared to turn your coat
Now there’s a name for you but it’s stuck in my throat
Well, I believe we just become a speck of dust
Well, I believe we just become a speck of dust
Well, I believe we just become a speck of dust
Well, I believe we just become a speck of dust

Dust – Terjemahan / Translation
Kalau saja debu yang bisa berbicara, apa yang akan kita dengar?
Sebelum disingkirkan tepat saat tersapu
Itu hanya buktinya, itu tidak ada konsekuensinya
Ini hanya daging dan tulang, mengapa kita tidak meninggalkannya sendirian?
Jika debu hanya bisa berbicara, terperangkap dalam balok yang jatuh
Jika debu hanya bisa menangis, jika debu hanya bisa berteriak
Karena saksi tunggal yang mungkin bersaksi
Bisakah saya memuntahkan kebenaran atau Anda lebih suka menelan bohong?
Tapi debu selalu ditangkap di bawah lapisan cat
Di bawah kuku marmer raja dan orang suci
Dan di tirai teater tempat mereka menggantung tirai
Dan di saku tiket di mana tangan Anda melarikan diri
Sebelum mereka mulai berkeliaran dan mereka mulai menyusut
Anda sedikit menggosok mata dan tampak berkedip
Tapi ketika dia menangkapmu menatap, dia tahu apa yang kamu pikirkan
Yang masuk ke dalam dirimu bukanlah hantu seperti itu, itu hanya debu
Ini dia racun
Mereka mencekik kehidupan dan mendarat dan merampok kegembiraan dari kami
Mengapa mereka merasakan gula, oh, saat terbuat dari uang
Di sinilah domba Tuhan dan bocah tukang daging Sonny
Mengapa mereka membendung tanah? Mengapa mereka membanjiri dataran?
Apakah mereka menghapus noda atau menghapus namanya?
Anda menutup mulut dengan baik, tampaknya memutar mantel Anda
Sekarang ada nama untukmu tapi itu tersangkut di tenggorokanku
Yah, saya yakin kita hanya menjadi setitik debu
Yah, saya yakin kita hanya menjadi setitik debu
Yah, saya yakin kita hanya menjadi setitik debu
Yah, saya yakin kita hanya menjadi setitik debu
