Pink Floyd - The Narrow Way (part 1-3)  (12:18)

Upload on 2010/10/27 by Navlis86

Pink Floyd 1969 Music/Lyrics: Gilmour, Vocals: Gilmour

Albums: Ummagumma

"Part 1" of the song was called "Baby Blue Shuffle in D minor" when played by the band in a BBC broadcast on 2 December 1968; it also strongly resembles the tracks "Rain in the Country (take 1)" and "Unknown Song" recorded (but eventually not used) for the soundtrack of Michelangelo Antonioni's film Zabriskie Point in November/December 1969. This portion features layered acoustic guitar with some spacey effects overtop.

"Part 2" features an electric guitar and percussion which modulate heavily at the end, forming a drone that leads into part three.

"Part 3" of the song features Gilmour's only vocal contribution to the studio part of the album. This final part was incorporated into The Man and the Journey by the full band on their 1969 tour.

　　　THE NARROW WAY, PARTS 1-3

(Vocal: Video 06:58 - )

Following the path as it leads towards
The darkness in the north
Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before

And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the restless sky
Close your aching eyes beyond your name

Mist is swelling, creatures crawling,
Hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know the folly was your own
But the force behind can't conquer all your fears

And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the restless sky
Close your aching eyes beyond your name

Throw your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life in every morning
Perhaps a day will come
When the nights will be as on that morning

And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the restless sky
Close your aching eyes beyond your name
Rest your weary head, be on your way.

　　　　ナロウ・ウェイ

はるか北の暗闇へとつながる
細い小路にそって歩いていく
疲れきった旅人たちの顔に
彼らがかつて見た憐れみの表情が浮かぶ

しばらくの間　ここに留まっていたいのか
しばらくの間　痛む手足を休ませたいのか
だが　夜は手招きしておまえを呼んでいる
おまえは遅れるわけにはいかないのだ
夜の鳥がおまえに囁きかける
だが　その言葉はおまえには届かない
眼と耳をしっかり閉じて歩きつづけるのだ


夜霧が渦巻き　不気味な生き物が這いずり回る
耳鳴りはますます大きくなっていく
この愚行を始めたのはおまえ自身だが
背後から迫りくる恐怖を払うこともできない

しばらくの間　ここに留まっていたいのか
しばらくの間　痛む手足を休ませたいのか
だが　夜は手招きしておまえを呼んでいる　
おまえは遅れるわけにはいかないのだ
夜の鳥がおまえに囁きかける
だが　その言葉はおまえには届かない
眼と耳をしっかり閉じて歩きつづけるのだ


朝の訪れと共に人生が息づいていた
あのはるか昔の日々におまえは思いを馳せる
いつの日か　あの晴れた朝のように
闇がきれいに拭い去られる日が訪れるだろう

しばらくの間　ここに留まっていたいのか
しばらくの間　痛む手足を休ませたいのか
だが　夜は手招きしておまえを呼んでいる　
おまえは遅れるわけにはいかないのだ
夜の鳥がおまえに囁きかける
だが　その言葉はおまえには届かない
眼と耳をしっかり閉じて歩きつづけるのだ

Pink Floyd - Fat Old Sun (BBC) (14:59) 

Pink Floyd 1970 Lyrics/Music: Gilmour Vocals by: Gilmour

Albums:
 Atom Heart Mother, Live in Gdansk
Film/Video:
 Atom Heart Mother, Live in Gdansk
 David Gilmour in Concert, Remember that night


"Fat Old Sun" was performed live by Pink Floyd from 1970–71.
It was later adopted by David Gilmour for his 2001/02 tour and the On an Island tour of 2006.
On stage, the song was transformed from a folk ballad into an extended rock jam, leading off from the blues rock solo after the last refrain.
Extended jams would usually follow, including free-form drumming, organ solos and revised chord progressions based on the "Sing to me" vocal line.

　　　FAT OLD SUN


When the fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Summer's thunder time of year
The sound of music in my ears
Distant bells, new mown grass
Smells so sweet
By the river holding hands
Roll me up and lay me down
 
And if you sit don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me
 
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Children's laughter in my ears
The last sunlight disappears
 
And if you sit don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling....

　　　　デブでよろよろの太陽

太った老いぼれの太陽が空に沈む時
夏の夕べに鳥がさえずる
夏の日曜日　あれから１年
僕の耳に音楽の音色が響く
はるか彼方から聞こえる鐘の音
刈り取ったばかりの草の香り
甘く囁きかける唄
手を組み　川のほとりを歩こう
転がっては　大地に身を横たえよう

もし見かけても　物音を立ててはいけない
音を立てないように忍びやかに足を運ぶのだ
夜のとばりが降りる頃
奇妙な銀色の音が
舌からこぼれ落ちるのを聞いたなら
僕に歌いかけておくれ　僕に歌いかけておくれ

太った老いぼれの太陽が空に沈む時
夏の夕べに鳥がさえずる
僕の耳に子供たちの笑い声が響くとともに
最後の歌がゆっくりと消えていく

もし見かけても　物音を立ててはいけない
音を立てないように忍びやかに足を運ぶのだ
夜のとばりが降りる頃
奇妙な銀色の音が
舌からこぼれ落ちるのを聞いたなら
僕に歌いかけておくれ　僕に歌いかけておくれ

太った老いぼれの太陽が空に沈む時……
