Scala & Kolacny Brothers - Respire скачать видео бесплатно

Album: Respire

Released: November 4, 2004

Video: 2005

Scala's version of the French hit Respire (Breath) by Mickey 3D. This song is about a future when mankind has depleted all of our natural resources and the world which we live in is bleak. The original video from Mickey 3D is a beautiful animation that should not be missed (watch it to the end). You can view it here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ms4mru6rRl0 (includes English subtitles). Scala recreates the emotions from the original with a more aggressive tone, yet remains loyal to the story being told.

-- Lyrics (translated from French) --

Come closer boy, listen to me kid,

I'm going to tell you the story of Mankind

At first there was nothing, and all was well

Nature just grew and spread out, with no paths or roads,

Then Man arrived with heavy boots,

Kicking Nature in the face, to force respect

Tracing one way roads,

Installing signposts throughout the plains,

Mastering all the forces of Nature

Within the blink of an eye was the story changed

And we're not about to reverse the trend

We've even started to pollute the desert

You've got to take a deep breath (breathe), and that's the truth,

You're not going to die of laughter, and that's gotta be said

In a few years, we'll have cut down all the trees

And your grandkids will only have one eye

In the middle of the forehead and they'll ask

Why you have two eyes, and you'll look like a fool

They'll ask you how you were able to sit back and allow this to happen

You'll try to defend yourself, explaining in a low voice

That it's not your fault but the fault of the Elders

Yet there will be no one left to clear you of blame

You'll tell them about the days when you could

Eat fruits, lying in the grassy fields

There were animals all over the forest,

When Spring begun, all the birds returned once again,

You've got to take a deep breath (breathe), and that's the truth

You're not going to die of laughter, and that's gotta be said

You've got to breathe, tomorrow it will all get worse

You're not going to die of laughter, and that's gotta be said

You've got to take a deep breath (breathe), and that's the truth,

You're not going to die of laughter, and that's gotta be said [2x]

The worst part of the story is that we are all slaves

Part of us, an assassin, and here quite unable

To look at the trees without feeling guilty

Like someone with his pants down, feeling misery 100%

So this, my boy, is the story of Mankind

It's not very pretty, and I don't know the ending,

You weren't born in a cabbage patch, but instead in a hole

That we fill day by day, like a manure pit

You've got to take a deep breath (breathe), and that's the truth,

You're not going to die of laughter, and that's gotta be said [2x]

You have to breathe [4x]
