Deliver Us From The Elements by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
We can plant a seed
And watch it grow
Food enough to fill a table
Running water down an overflow
Eat as much as we are able
But would the fruit turn ripe
If the rains had never been?
[Chorus:] Oh Lord deliver us from the elements
We at your mercy and your reverence
Oh Lord deliver us from the elements
We've no defense we are impotent
You can travel far to distant lands
Some so hot no man could bear
You can conquer peaks with winds of sand
Where Mother Nature didn't care
Would not our world turn cold
If the sun refused to shine
[Chorus]
And when the world grows old
And we know more than our brains can hold
Nature will be law
Well we're as helpless now as we've ever been before
Would not our world turn cold
If the sun refused to shine
[Chorus]

Deliver Us From The Elements* (original XTC)
We can plant a seed
And watch it grow
Food enough to fill a table
Running water down an overflow
Eat as much as we are able
But would the fruit turn ripe
If the rains had never been?
[Chorus:] Oh Lord deliver us from the elements
We at your mercy and your reverence
Oh Lord deliver us from the elements
We've no defense we are impotent
You can travel far to distant lands
Some so hot no man could bear
You can conquer peaks with winds of sand
Where Mother Nature didn't care
Would not our world turn cold
If the sun refused to shine
[Chorus]
And when the world grows old
And we know more than our brains can hold
Nature will be law
Well we're as helpless now as we've ever been before
Would not our world turn cold
If the sun refused to shine
[Chorus]
Deliver Us From The Elements (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Podemos plantar una semilla
Y verla crecer
Comida suficiente para llenar una mesa
Agua corriendo por un desbordamiento
Comer tanto como podamos
Pero ¿maduraría la fruta
Si las lluvias nunca hubieran existido?
[Estribillo:] Oh Señor, líbranos de los elementos
Estamos a tu merced y tu reverencia
Oh Señor, líbranos de los elementos
No tenemos defensa, somos impotentes
Puedes viajar lejos a tierras distantes
Algunas tan calientes que ningún hombre podría soportar
Puedes conquistar cumbres con vientos de arena
Donde la Madre Naturaleza no se preocupó
¿No se enfriaría nuestro mundo
Si el sol se negara a brillar
[Estribillo]
Y cuando el mundo envejezca
Y sepamos más de lo que nuestros cerebros pueden contener
La naturaleza será ley
Bueno, somos tan indefensos ahora como lo hemos sido antes
¿No se enfriaría nuestro mundo
Si el sol se negara a brillar
[Estribillo]
