Shed Song Lyrics – Ralph McTell
Singer: Ralph McTell
Title: Shed Song
Amongst the tins of nails and things
Is where Granddad and me
Turned his shed into a church
Of masculinity
No female bothered to intrude
Into our sacred space
Content in manly solitude
Or in shared state of grace
Tobacco oil and creosote
This temple’s incense clung
To perfumed piny wooden walls
Where voodoo gas masks hung
Where priestly purple bottled meths
Along with tins of screws
And ancient saws and chisels stayed
That I never saw him use
This shed was never made for work
But built for sanctuary
Where we both took communion
Of biscuits with our tea
And I soaked up crumbs of knowledge there
Behind the creaking door
Expounding on the day to day
Or times before the war
On shelves where ghosts of laughter slept
Decayed to sooty dust
Time wrapped around those memories
Like moss and creeping rust
But in that sleep the truth of dreams
Seeped into limber walls
Until by simply breathing in
Each one could be recalled
Intending to rebuild his shed
When Granddad passed away
Dismantled it too turned to dust
Till just three planks remained
So one for him and one for me
And one for lives and schemes
That overlap each history
Aboard this ship of dreams

Shed Song – Terjemahan / Translation
Di antara kaleng kuku dan benda
Adalah tempat kakek dan saya
Mengubah gudangnya menjadi gereja
Maskulinitas
Tidak ada wanita yang repot -repot mengganggu
Ke dalam ruang sakral kita
Konten dalam kesendirian jantan
Atau dalam keadaan rahmat bersama
Minyak tembakau dan kreosot
Dupa candi ini menempel
Untuk berhemat dinding kayu yang piny
Dimana masker gas voodoo digantung
Dimana imam ungu botol meths
Bersama dengan kaleng sekrup
Dan gergaji dan pahat kuno tetap tinggal
Bahwa saya tidak pernah melihatnya menggunakan
Gudang ini tidak pernah dibuat untuk bekerja
Tapi dibangun untuk tempat kudus
Di mana kami berdua bersekutu
Biskuit dengan teh kami
Dan saya menyerap remah -remah pengetahuan di sana
Di belakang pintu berderit
Diuraikan pada hari ke hari
Atau kali sebelum perang
Di rak -rak di mana hantu tawa tidur
Membusuk menjadi debu jelaga
Waktu melilit kenangan itu
Seperti lumut dan karat merayap
Tapi dalam tidur itu kebenaran mimpi
Meresap ke dinding lentur
Sampai hanya dengan bernapas
Masing -masing bisa ditarik kembali
Berniat membangun kembali gudangnya
Saat kakek meninggal
Membongkar itu juga berubah menjadi debu
Sampai hanya tiga papan yang tersisa
Jadi satu untuknya dan satu untukku
Dan satu untuk kehidupan dan skema
Yang tumpang tindih setiap sejarah
Di atas kapal mimpi ini
