The Hawkins brothers are from East Anglia and this song is based on the history of the area when Edmund the Martyr initially gave land to the Norsemen but they ended up raiding and killing, etc. anyway. |

| David Bowie – My Death Lyrics
| 11 years ago
|
It was actually covered in English by Scott Walker in 1967 on his debut solo album. He did it first, but Bowie's vernon has the lines: "My death waits there between your thighs/ Your cool fingers will close my eyes/ Let's not think of that and the passing time" which is different from Walker's version. It's a great few lines.
Whoever translated this did a beautiful job. Some of the lines are closer to the literal word for word translation than others, so there was definitely some liberty taken but it is very beautiful. |
