regina spektor - 8th Floor/Eighth Floor (Live)

regina spektor - 8th Floor/Eighth Floor (Live)
Recorded: Unknown
Lyrics:
No one waits for her inside the house
She spots a stranger in the mirror
And the record spins her nearer
To the outcome of her day
You live inside the city
You forget how tall the trees can get
A bird sits on
A branch across
From my eighth floor window
And you can't really say
That it's an eighth floor branch
'Cause trees don't have floors
And buildings do
Восьмой этаж
Восьмой этаж
Все высоко
Все под тобой
Вот идет домой
Карман пустой
Хоть милостыню просите
Три рубля на водку и буханку белого хлеба
А теперь, наверное, все дороже
И дорожки те забыты
А над ними паруса
Первый этаж
Я маленькая
Все высоко
Все надо мной
Восьмой этаж
Америка
Я высоко
Все подо мной
Я высоко...
I came in from the rain which
Wasn't really rain
It was just
January snow in denial
And something must have gotten lost
In the translation
Russian to English
And winter wasn't wintery today
She comes into the house
And no one waits for her inside the house
She spots a stranger in the mirror
And the record spins her nearer
To the outcome of her day
You live inside the city
You forget how tall the trees can get
A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window
A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window
A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window
Translation:
The eighth floor
The eighth floor
Everything's high
Everything is below you
Somebody is coming home
Empty pocket
You could go begging
It's three rubles for vodka and a loaf of white bread
But now, maybe, everything's more expensive
And the old paths are forgotten
Above them we set sail
The first floor
I'm really small
Everything's high
Everything is above me
The eighth floor
America
I am high
Everything is below me
I am high...

"The first floor, I'm really small, Everything's high, Everything is above me... The eighth floor, America, I am high, Everything is below me , I am high..." the russian part is the best and i don't know russian:( this one really speaks the american dream:) your story inspires me regina....

[@anngalak]

never not crying on russian part of the song, truly beautiful

[@Fegatorama]

drumset here is perfect, makes the song almost cinematic: the new well recorded studio version is nice, of course, but I feel there's much more stuff here. I can't imagine what could be to attend to this live, thanks for this bootleg

[@tugbayoldas3548]

This makes me wanna learn Russian and start singing Russian songs. So beautiful.

[@TheSpektography]

It's my favourite, which is almost impossible to say...

[@TheSpektography]

Finally a newer version for your soul: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnKVc6ODq9OYmtU

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

Sounds like a continuation of buildings

[@kcheban]

at least the russian part is probably about Regina (the comment from alicepotter777).
