Ayreon - The Decision Tree (We're Alive) Lyrics
Ah, my friends! So light of foot. So swift. You have come this far. And now - here beneath the
ancient, omniscient boughs of the Decision Tree - one of you must depart this world of flesh.
Only seven may continue. Only you can decide...
[barbarian]
honour and glory are heaped upon my name
let it be clear I'm not the one who cries here
what about the tall one, the one who's lost to shame
[highlander]
I've followed princes, I've raised their bloody banners
I've killed and wounded on the side of right
I've reaped the harvest, scattered fields with ashes
I've buried children, sowed the seeds of hate
we're alive
we'll survive
we will strike for
our freedom
we're alive
we'll survive
we'll arrive in our
eden
[highlander]
I've followed princes
I've followed kings
I will take their lead no
more
I will not lie
in shallow graves
(I'm nobody's slave)
[barbarian]
let it be known, by Thor the god of lightning
I have been chosen to do battle at his side
let it be clear I was born to go down fighting
what about the craven, the one who's lost his pride
[highlander]
don't speak to me of homour, pride and glory
I've tasted blood, seen your type before
you talk of battle but all you tell are stories
you'd see me buried in a shallow grave
[all (chorus), highlander]

Portuguese lyrics
A Árvore da Decisão (Estamos vivos)
[Voz Misteriosa]
Ah, meus amigos!
Que pés iluminados, tão rápidos, vocês vieram até aqui
E agora, aqui abaixo dos
Antigos galhos oniscientes da árvore da decisão
Um de vocês deve partir deste mundo de carne
Apenas sete pode continuar, só vocês podem decidir
[Bárbaro]
Saibam que eu não serei o que morrerá aqui
Honra e glória são amontoados em meu nome
Que fique claro que eu não sou o único que chora aqui
O que aconteceu com o homem alto, aquele que perdeu a vergonha?
[Montanhês]
Eu segui príncipes, eu levantei suas bandeiras sangrentas
Eu matei e feri do lado direito
Eu já colhi a safra, os campos espalhados com cinzas
Eu enterrei crianças, plantei as sementes do ódio
[Todos]
Estamos vivos
Vamos sobreviver
Vamos combater por
Nossa liberdade
Estamos vivos
Vamos sobreviver
Vamos chegar em nosso
Éden
[Montanhês]
Eu segui príncipes
Eu segui reis
Eu tomarei a liderança deles
Não mais
Eu não vou mentir
Em covas rasas
(Eu não sou escravo de ninguém)
[Bárbaro]
Saibam, por Thor, o Deus do Trovão
Eu fui escolhido para fazer a batalha ao seu lado
Que fique claro que eu nasci para morrer lutando
O que aconteceu com o covarde, aquele que perdeu o seu orgulho
[Montanhês]
Não fale comigo sobre honra, orgulho e glória
Eu gosto de sangue, vi do seu tipo antes
Você fala da batalha, mas tudo o que você diz são histórias
Você veria me enterrado em uma cova rasa
[Todos]
Estamos vivos
Vamos sobreviver
Vamos combater por
Nossa liberdade
Estamos vivos
Vamos sobreviver
Vamos chegar em nosso
Éden
[Montanhês]
Eu segui príncipes
Eu segui reis
Eu tomarei a liderança deles
Não mais
Eu não vou mentir
Em covas rasas
(Eu não sou escravo de ninguém)

5. ,,Drzewo Decyzji (Żyjemy)''
*??>*
*Ach, przyjaciele! Tacy sprawni, tacy szybcy. Dotarliście tak daleko.*
*A teraz - tu, pod starożytnymi, wszechwiedzącymi konarami Drzewa Decyzji - jeden z was musi opuścić ten świat ciała.*
*Tylko siedmiu pójdzie dalej. Tylko wy możecie zdecydować...*
Niech będzie wiadome, że ja tu nie zginę
Honor i chwała otaczają me imię
Niech będzie jasne, że ja tu nie zapłaczę
Co z tym wysokim, który przegrał z wstydem
Podążałem za książętami, nosiłem ich krwawe sztandary
Zabijałem i raniłem, stojąc po stronie prawa
Zbierałem plony, sypałem pola popiołem
Chowałem dzieci, siałem nasiona nienawiści
Żyjemy | Podążałem za książętami
Przetrwamy | Podążałem za królami
Będziemy walczyć |
O naszą wolność | Nie będą już więcej mnie prowadzić
Żyjemy | Nie będę spoczywał
Przetrwamy | W płytkim grobie
Dotrzemy |
Do naszego Edenu |
Niech będzie wiadome, że Thor, bóg błyskawic
Wybrał mnie do walki u jego boku
Niech będzie jasne, że narodziłem się by zginąć w walce
Co z tym tchórzem, który utracił swą dumę
Nie mów do mnie o honorze, dumie, czy chwale
Zasmakowałem już krwi, widziałem tobie podobnych
Mówisz o walce, lecz wszystkie twe słowa to historyjki
Chciałbyś mnie zobaczyć w płytkim grobie
Żyjemy | Podążałem za książętami
Przetrwamy | Podążałem za królami
Będziemy walczyć |
O naszą wolność | Nie będą już więcej mnie prowadzić
Żyjemy | Nie będę spoczywał
Przetrwamy | W płytkim grobie
Dotrzemy |
Do naszego Edenu | Nie jestem niewolnikiem
Niezręczne: "Tak szybcy, tak prędcy w drodze." może by zmienić na coś w stylu: "Tacy sprawni. Tak szybcy.",
"Niech będzie wiadome, że ja tu nie zginę (...)
Niech będzie wiadome, że ja tu nie zapłaczę" - w oryginale raz jest known, a raz clear, więc może w drugiej linijce raczej: "Niech będzie jasne" - wszystko zakładając, że chcesz się maksymalnie trzymać oryginalnej konstrukcji zdań (bo jeśli nie to mam setki pomysłów, choćby: Wiedzcie, że ja tu dziś nie umrę (...), Wyjaśnijmy sobie, nie ja zapłaczę dziś.).
Dzięki - przeoczyłem to w pierwszej zwrotce.
This is one of my favorite tracks on the whole album. The Scottish vocals absolutely blow me away.
DONT SPEAK TO ME OF HONOR PRIDE AND GLORY!
We're alive!
