Guaranteed

by Eddie Vedder.

The song is from the awesome soundtrack of the even more awesome movie Into The Wild.

This version includes the album's hidden track "Guaranteed (Humming Vocal)".

I can (and did) listen to this song over and over again.



On bended knee is no way to be free
Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently
All my destinations will accept the one that's me
So I can breathe...

Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
A mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes...

Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you...

Everyone I come across, in cages they bought
They think of me and my wandering, but I'm never what they thought
I've got my indignation, but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive...

Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead
Overhead...

Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed

כשישבתי מולך מבלי לדבר
כי הכל כבר נאמר
ויכולת להרגיש שקשה לי מאוד
ויכולת לנחש שמר
את קמת ועברת,
והלכת למטבח וחזרת כעבור דקה
ובדרך לא שמת את ידך על כתפי
לנגיעה אחת רכה.

את כל כך ישרה וכל כך הגונה
ואת לא יכולה לרמות
כשאת לא אוהבת את לא יכולה,
ואת זה אי אפשר לשנות.
אבל כשעברת ממש לידי
והייתי כולי צעקה
ובדרך לא שמת את ידך על כתפי,
לנגיעה אחת רכה.

ואת זה אני לא שוכח,
ועל זה אני לא סולח,
ועל זה אני לא אסלח לך לעולם.
כי את זה אני לא שוכח,
ועל זה אני לא סולח, לעולם.

כשהייתי איתך לא היית איתי,
היתה רק תמונה מתנועעת.
הרשית בחסדך לאהוב אותך,
וכל חסד אחר מנע.
ושום חסדים לא רציתי ממך,
אבל באותה הדקה הייתי זקוק לידך על כתפי,
לנגיעה אחת רכה.

ואת זה אני לא שוכח...

עכשיו אני כאן יושב לבדי,
עם הרגע ההוא הקר.
יודע עד כמה ליבך הוא עני,
ועד כמה יופייך עקר.
אך אותה אהבה למרות רצוני
עדיין את שמך מבכה.
עדיין קוראת לידך על כתפי,
לנגיעה אחת רכה.

ואת זה אני לא שוכח...

When I sat in front of you without talking
Because everything been said
You could feel that it's very hard for me
And you could feel that it's bitter

You stood up and passed,
Went to the kitchen and returned a minute later
And on your way you didn't put your hand on my shoulder
For one soft touch.

You're so honest and so decent
And you can not cheat
When you don't love you just can't,
And it can not be changed.

But when you passed right next to me
And I was all a scream
And on your way you didn't put your hand on my shoulder
For one soft touch.

And this I don't forget,
And for this I won't forgive,
And for this I won't forgive you forever.
Because this I don't forget,
And for this I won't forgive, never.

When I was with you you were not with me,
There was only a moving image.
You allowed with your grace to love you,
And prevented any other grace.
I did not want no grace from you,
But at the minute I needed your hand on my shoulder,
For one soft touch.

And this I don't forget,

Now I am sitting here alone,
With that cold moment.
I know how your heart is poor,
And how your beauty is barren.
But that love, in spite of my will,
Still mourning your name.

Still calling your hand for my shoulder,
For one soft touch.

And this I can not forget...

Wicked Game

by Chris Isaak.

From Wikipedia:

The song is a ballad wherein the speaker laments over the rejection of his one true love ("no one could save me but you"), who does not feel the same way about him as he does her ("What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way"). In the chorus, the narrator pines for not wanting to fall in love because of the pain of heartbreak. However, he expresses his reluctance at not wanting to "fall in love" with her, evident in the virtually silent "don't" in the chorus line ("No I [don't] want to fall in love"). This also indicates that, despite his awareness of the pain of lost love, the speaker is so blinded by love that he cannot help but yearn for her and is torn between his desire for her and avoiding the pain of loss and heartbreak.

The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you

What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
And I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]

Nobody loves no one
