Lydia Lyrics – Slaid Cleaves
Singer: Slaid Cleaves
Title: Lydia
Lydie lit a cigarette today,
Ancient fumbling fingers in her way
From a forty year old coffee cup she sipped a bit of gin,
Closed her eyes and let the memories in.
She lives in the old place all alone,
Keeps in touch with neighbours by the phone,
Grows herbs on the graves of her firstborn and his father,
And the coal trucks never bother her.
Oh Lydie, let him go. the boy is gone,
Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms,
Oh Lydia, your tears are heaven’s rain,
But she never was the same.
A cotton dress and satin shoes,
Indian summer sun, dressed in amber hues,
Spending time with a coal miner’s son,
To an old time fiddle tune,
The months went by just like a breeze that year,
They wed in June, and by the fall the boy was here,,
Word come down from big stone, there’s a fire in the mine,
And eleven men they couldn’t find.
Oh Lydie, let him go. the boy is gone,
Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms,
Oh Lydia, your tears are heaven’s rain,
But she never was the same.
She watched them pull him from the hole,
The overalls he wore were blackened by the smoke,
Lydie twice had had this dream and twice it had come true.
And when she saw his father’s boots she knew.
Oh Lydie, let him go. the boy is gone,
Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms,
Oh Lydia, your tears are heaven’s rain,
But she never was the same.
Lydie lit a cigarette today,
Ancient fumbling fingers in her way
From a forty year old coffee cup she sipped a bit of gin,
Closed her eyes and let the memories in.

Lydia – Terjemahan / Translation
Lydie menyalakan sebatang rokok hari ini,
Jari-jari meraba-raba kuno di jalannya
Dari cangkir kopi berusia empat puluh tahun dia menyesap sedikit gin,
Tutup matanya dan biarkan kenangan masuk.
Dia tinggal di tempat lama sendirian,
Terus berhubungan dengan tetangga melalui telepon,
Tumbuhkan herbal di kuburan anak sulung dan ayahnya,
Dan truk batubara tidak pernah mengganggunya.
Oh Lydie, biarkan dia pergi. Bocah itu pergi,
Ibunya berjuang ketika dia merobeknya dari lengannya,
Oh Lydia, air matamu adalah hujan surga,
Tapi dia tidak pernah sama.
Gaun katun dan sepatu satin,
Sun musim panas India, berpakaian rona kuning,
Menghabiskan waktu dengan putra penambang batubara,
Ke nada fiddle waktu lama,
Bulan-bulan berjalan seperti angin sepoi-sepoi itu,
Mereka menikah pada bulan Juni, dan pada musim gugur, bocah itu ada di sini ,,
Kata turun dari batu besar, ada api di tambang,
Dan sebelas pria yang tidak bisa mereka temukan.
Oh Lydie, biarkan dia pergi. Bocah itu pergi,
Ibunya berjuang ketika dia merobeknya dari lengannya,
Oh Lydia, air matamu adalah hujan surga,
Tapi dia tidak pernah sama.
Dia menyaksikan mereka menariknya dari lubang,
Overall yang dia kenakan dihitamkan oleh asap,
Lydie dua kali memiliki mimpi ini dan dua kali itu menjadi kenyataan.
Dan ketika dia melihat sepatu bot ayahnya, dia tahu.
Oh Lydie, biarkan dia pergi. Bocah itu pergi,
Ibunya berjuang ketika dia merobeknya dari lengannya,
Oh Lydia, air matamu adalah hujan surga,
Tapi dia tidak pernah sama.
Lydie menyalakan sebatang rokok hari ini,
Jari-jari meraba-raba kuno di jalannya
Dari cangkir kopi berusia empat puluh tahun dia menyesap sedikit gin,
Tutup matanya dan biarkan kenangan masuk.
