Harvest Festival by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
See the flowers round the altar
See the peaches in tins 'neath the headmaster's chair
Harvest festival
See the two who've been chosen
See them walk hand in hand to the front of the hall
Harvest festival
Harvest festival
What was best of all was the
Longing look you gave me
That longing look
More than enough to keep me fed all year
See the children with baskets
See their hair cut like corn neatly combed in their rows
Harvest festival
Harvest festival
What was best of all was the
Longing look you gave me
That longing look
Across the hymnbooks and the canvas chairs
The longing look you gave me
That longing look
More than enough to keep me fed all year
What a year when the exams and crops all failed
Of course you passed but you were never seen again
We all grew and we got screwed and cut and nailed
Then out of nowhere invitation in gold pen
See the flowers round the altar
See that you too got married and I wish you well
Harvest festival
Harvest festival
What was best of all was the
Longing look you gave me
That longing look
Across the hymnbooks and the canvas chairs
The longing look you gave me
That longing look
More than enough to keep me fed all year
Harvest festival

Harvest Festival (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Mira las flores alrededor del altar
Mira los duraznos enlatados bajo la silla del director
Festival de la cosecha
Mira a los dos que han sido elegidos
Míralos caminar de la mano al frente del salón
Festival de la cosecha
Festival de la cosecha
Lo mejor de todo fue la
Mirada anhelante que me diste
Esa mirada anhelante
Más que suficiente para mantenerme alimentado todo el año
Mira a los niños con cestas
Mira su cabello cortado como maíz, peinado prolijamente en sus filas
Festival de la cosecha
Festival de la cosecha
Lo mejor de todo fue la
Mirada anhelante que me diste
Esa mirada anhelante
A través de los himnarios y las sillas de lona
La mirada anhelante que me diste
Esa mirada anhelante
Más que suficiente para mantenerme alimentado todo el año
Qué año cuando los exámenes y las cosechas fallaron
Claro que aprobaste pero nunca más te vi
Todos crecimos y nos jodieron y cortaron y clavaron
Luego, de la nada, una invitación con pluma de oro
Mira las flores alrededor del altar
Mira que tú también te casaste y te deseo lo mejor
Festival de la cosecha
Festival de la cosecha
Lo mejor de todo fue la
Mirada anhelante que me diste
Esa mirada anhelante
A través de los himnarios y las sillas de lona
La mirada anhelante que me diste
Esa mirada anhelante
Más que suficiente para mantenerme alimentado todo el año
Festival de la cosecha
