Song To The Siren
This Mortal Coil Lyrics
Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was forced out
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, Oh my heart shies from the sorrow"
Well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or should I lie with death, my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you"

This Mortal Coil (TMC) is an example of a supergroup, and performers include members from bands on 4AD's roster, such as Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Colourbox, The Wolfgang Press, Dif Juz, X Mal Deutschland and Modern English. The records consist mostly of dark and moody interpretative cover versions of a wide variety of artists ranging from Big Star and Talking Heads to The Apartments and Tim Buckley. The group recorded three albums; It'll End In Tears, Filigree & Shadow and Blood.
The group takes its name from Shakespeare. In particular Hamlet's soliloquy To be, or not to be, where it refers to dying; "coil" is used in its archaic sense of "disturbance, trouble":
"What dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause."
Hamlet, Act III, Scene 1, line 67.

Türkçe çevirisi:
Siren’e Şarkı 🧜🏻♀️
Gemisiz okyanuslarda uzun süredir
En iyi gülüşümü yapmaya çalıştım
Ta ki senin o şarkı söyleyen gözlerin ve parmakların
Beni adana aşkla sürükleyene kadar
Ve şarkı söyledin:
"Bana yelken aç, bana yelken aç
Seni sarmama izin ver
İşte buradayım, işte buradayım.
Seni sarmak için bekliyorum"
Beni hayal ettiğini mi hayal ettim ben?
Ben tam yelken açmışken burada mıydın?
Şimdi benim aptal gemim yan yatmış
Kırılmış terkedilmiş senin kayalıklarında:
"Dokunma bana, dokunma bana,
Yarın gel geri."
Diye şarkı söylediğin için
Ah kalbim,
Ah kalbim, üzüntüden çok ürkek
Yeni doğmuş bir çocuk gibi şaşkınım
Gelgit kadar muammalıyım
Dev dalgalar arasında ayakta durmalı mıyım?
Veya ölümle yatmalı mıyım, benim gelinim?
Duy benim söyleyişimi:
“Bana yüz, bana yüz
Seni sarmama izin ver
İşte buradayım , işte buradayım.
Seni sarmak için bekliyorum"

I played this song while my mom was dying. And then we played it again today at her funeral I'll forever love you Mom and Dad watch over me

Lisa, I understand what you've been through, but always remember that Death makes us invisible, but never “absent”

May they rest in peace, dear Lisa. We will meet again with our beloved ones, for nothing is ever lost in the universe, but all is out there to be found. In this life or another. Godspeed.
My name is August West

Elizabeth Fraser always had a voice out of time. A truly unreal vocalist at times. The Cocteaus are an all time band for me for sure.
Giovanna Benso
I am old enough and lucky enough: I listened to this song when it came out 💜 big fan of Cocteau Twins since Garlands
Jason Egeland
There's never enough to say of them.
