Cry Little Sister
Blutengel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The last fire will rise
Behind those eyes
Black house will rock
Blind boys don't lie
Immortal fear
That voice so clear
Through broken walls
That scream I hear

[Chorus]
Cry little sister (thou shall not fall)
Come come to your brother (thou shall not die)
Unchain me sister (thou shall not fear)
Love is with your brother (thou shall not kill)

Blue masquerade
Strangers look up
When will they learn this loneliness?
Temptation heat
Beats like a drum
Deep in your veins

[Chorus]

My Shangri-la
I cant forget
Why you were mine
I need you now





[Chorus: x3]

''Le dernier feu passera derrière ces yeux
La maison noire va s'ébranler , les hommes aveugles ne mentent pas
Peur immortelle , cette voix si claire
A travers les murs cassés , ce cri que j'entends
Pleure , petite soeur
( tu ne tomberas pas )
Viens , viens à ton frère
( tu ne mourras pas )
Déchaîne-moi , soeur
( tu ne craindras pas )
L'amour est avec ton frère
( tu ne tueras pas )
Masquarade bleue , les étrangers regardent
Quand vont-ils apprendre cette solitude ?
La chaleur de la tentation bat comme un tambour
Profondément dans tes veines , je ne vais pas mentir
Ma Shangrila , je ne peux pas oublier
Pourquoi tu étais mienne , j'ai besoin de toi maintenant
Pleure , petite soeur
( tu ne tomberas pas )
Viens , viens à ton frère
( tu ne mourras pas )
Déchaîne-moi soeur
( tu ne craindras pas )
L'amour est avec ton frère
( tu ne tueras pas )''

Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not die
Cry!
Last fire will rise
Behind those eyes
Black house will rock
Blind boys don't lie
Immortal fear
That voice so clear
Through broken walls
That scream I hear
Cry, little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love is with your brother! (Thou shalt not kill)
Blue masquerade
Strangers look on
When will they learn
This loneliness?
Temptation heat
Beats like a drum
Deep in your veins
I will not lie
Little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love is with your brother! (Thou shalt not kill)
My Shangri-Las
I can't forget
Why you were mine
I need you now!
Cry, little…

@Rusty Shackleford true. I think he needs to smoke more cigarettes to get that edgy 80s singer energy from the original!

Sarah Stewart
