I live and die through England
Through England
It leaves a sadness
Remedies never were within my reach
I cannot go on as I am
Withered vine reaching from the country
That I love
England
You leave a taste
A bitter one
I have searched for your springs
But people, they stagnate with time
Like water, like air
To you, England, I cling
Undaunted, never failing love for you
England
Through England
It leaves a sadness
Remedies never were within my reach
I cannot go on as I am
Withered vine reaching from the country
That I love
England
You leave a taste
A bitter one
I have searched for your springs
But people, they stagnate with time
Like water, like air
To you, England, I cling
Undaunted, never failing love for you
England

The whole album "Let England Shake" sounds great but it gives me the feeling of bi-polar disorder, depression and angst... not the most enjoyable feelings...
Yes, but it's that complexity of feeling that makes it so amazing! I find that when albums like this make me cry it's like a kind of release of a lot of the feelings that I've suppressed and cannot give expression to...the kind of feelings .that if not released over a lifetime turn into cancer ....

This song makes me feel very very sad....
Can anyone place the traditional-sounding singing in the background at the beginning?
I think it's Kurdish - according to this review

"She spoke in particular about a Kurdish love song sung by an Iraqi woman and how in the song “England” she wanted to marry its sentiment to that of an Englishwoman’s love for her country, but her intention is for any listener to relate it to the complicated love they have for their homeland."
