Текст песни Charles Bukowski — Palm Leaves
PALM LEAVES
at exactly 12:00 midnight
1973-74
Los Angeles
it began to rain on the
palm leaves outside my window
the horns and firecrackers
went off
and it thundered.
I'd gone to bed at 9 p.m.
turned out the lights
pulled up the covers -
their gaiety, their happiness,
their screams, their paper hats,
their automobiles, their women,
their amateur drunks...
New Year's Eve always terrifies
me
life knows nothing of years.
now the horns have stopped and
the firecrackers and the thunder...
it's all over in five minutes...
all I hear is the rain
on the palm leaves,
and I think,
I will never understand men,
but I have lived
it through.
at exactly 12:00 midnight
1973-74
Los Angeles
it began to rain on the
palm leaves outside my window
the horns and firecrackers
went off
and it thundered.
I'd gone to bed at 9 p.m.
turned out the lights
pulled up the covers -
their gaiety, their happiness,
their screams, their paper hats,
their automobiles, their women,
their amateur drunks...
New Year's Eve always terrifies
me
life knows nothing of years.
now the horns have stopped and
the firecrackers and the thunder...
it's all over in five minutes...
all I hear is the rain
on the palm leaves,
and I think,
I will never understand men,
but I have lived
it through.

Краткое описание
Текст песни Charles Bukowski — «Palm Leaves», прочитанный RM, описывает ночь Нового года 1973-74 года в Лос-Анджелесе. В полночь начался дождь на листьях пальм за окном, сопровождаемый звуками гудков, фейерверков и грозы. Поэт описывает свой страх перед Новым годом, осознание того, что жизнь не зависит от лет. Всего за пять минут все шумные праздничные звуки утихают, и поэт слышит только шум дождя на листьях пальм. Он задумывается о неспособности понять мужчин, но при этом осознает, что прожил это через себя. Слова песни Charles Bukowski — «Palm Leaves» read by RM передают атмосферу раздумий поэта под звуки новогодней ночи: шум и радость быстро проходят, оставляя лишь шум дождя и мысли о человеческой природе.
