A Perfect Date.

A perfect date to hesitate,
I hope it won't be too long.

You're a sucker for the punch
and the telegraph bells are ringing;
now it's coming to the crunch
as you stumble on the Jaffa Gate.
I think you know how it happens on the stage
when the heavenly choir are singing –
you've been taken by a perfect date.

You made the Mount of Venus your Jerusalem,
you're marking time as symbol for debate;
you hope to find some moment close to infinite,
you hope to find a perfect date.

A perfect date to hesitate.
The future beckons us on.
There comes a time to hesitate –
I hope it won't be too long.

You're a sucker for the punch
and the telegraph bells are ringing;
now it's coming to the crunch
as you stumble on the Jaffa Gate.
I think you know how it happens on the stage
when the heavenly choir are singing –
yeah, you've been taken by a perfect date.

You've been playing on a hunch
and the strings of your heart are zinging.
Yeah, you cut loose from the bunch
but that doesn't mean you've sealed your fate.
I think you know how it happens,
though it's strange, when the choir start singing:
you've been taken by a perfect date.

Идеальный день.

Идеальный день для сомнений,
надеюсь, это не продлится слишком долго.

Ты - мальчик для битья,
и телеграфные колокола звонят;
сейчас настал критический момент,
пока ты задержался у Яффских Ворот.
Я думаю, ты знаешь, как это - стоять на сцене,
когда поет небесный хор:
ты захвачен идеальным днем.

Ты объявил Холм Венеры своим Иерусалимом,
ты помечаешь время символом для дискуссий;
ты надеешься отыскать некий момент, близкий к бесконечности,
ты надеешься отыскать идеальный день.

Идеальный день для сомнений.
Будущее приглашает нас.
Наступает время сомнений -
надеюсь, это не продлится слишком долго.

Ты - мальчик для битья...
...ты захвачен идеальным днем.

Ты действовал на основании предчувствия,
и струны твоего сердца звенят.
Эх, ты порвал со всеми,
но это не значит, что ты определил свою судьбу.
Я думаю, ты знаешь, как это,
хотя это и непривычно,
когда начинает петь небесный хор:
ты захвачен идеальным днем.

Jaffa Gate 1 Jaffa Gate 2 Jaffa Gate 1

Яффские ворота - главные ворота христианского и армянского кварталов Старого города в Иерусалиме, построены в 1537 году на месте ворот более раннего периода. Во время посещения Иерусалима Кайзером Вильгельмом II в 1898 году, османские власти постановили разрушить часть крепостной стены у Яффских ворот, дабы император мог беспрепятственно въехать в город в своем экипаже. В 1917 году британский генерал Эдмунд Алленби после разгрома турецких войск вошел в Старый город через Яффские ворота пешком в знак уважения к городу и желая избежать сравнения с Кайзером.

Холм Венеры. Согласно христианской вере, Иисус Христом был распят на Голгофе - холме в окрестностях Иерусалима. Голгофа стала местом поклонения у ранних христиан. Римский император Адриан, ненавидевший христиан, приказал засыпать землей Голгофу и на этом месте на искусственном холме поставить храм языческой богини Венеры и статую Юпитера. В IV веке языческий храм был снесен, на Голгофе был возведен храм Гроба Господня. Отмечу также, что в хиромантии (оккультная "наука", умение предсказывать будущее человека по его ладони) холм Венеры, или мясистая часть большого пальца, есть то возвышение, которое находится у основания большого пальца. Наконец, анатомически - холм Венеры означает женский лобок.

A Perfect Date.

A perfect date to hesitate,
I hope it won't be too long.

You're a sucker for the punch
and the telegraph bells are ringing;
now it's coming to the crunch
as you stumble on the Jaffa Gate.
I think you know how it happens on the stage
when the heavenly choir are singing -
you've been taken by a perfect date.

You made the Mount of Venus your Jerusalem,
you're marking time as symbol for debate;
you hope to find some moment close to infinite,
you hope to find a perfect date.

A perfect date to hesitate.
The future beckons us on.
There comes a time to hesitate -
I hope it won't be too long.

You're a sucker for the punch
and the telegraph bells are ringing;
now it's coming to the crunch
as you stumble on the Jaffa Gate.
I think you know how it happens on the stage
when the heavenly choir are singing -
yeah, you've been taken by a perfect date.

You've been playing on a hunch
and the strings of your heart are zinging.
Yeah, you cut loose from the bunch
but that doesn't mean you've sealed your fate.
I think you know how it happens,
though it's strange, when the choir start singing:
you've been taken by a perfect date.

Perfect day.

Perfect day for doubt
hope it doesn't last too long.

You are a whipping boy
and telegraph bells ring;
Now is the critical moment
while you lingered at the Jaffa Gate.
I think you know how it is to stand on stage,
when the heavenly choir sings:
you are captured by a perfect day.

You declared the Hill of Venus your Jerusalem
you mark time as a symbol for discussion;
you hope to find a moment close to infinity,
you hope to find the perfect day.

Perfect day for doubt.
The future invites us.
There comes a time of doubt -
hope it doesn't last too long.

You are a whipping boy ...
 ... you are captured by a perfect day.

You acted on the basis of foreboding
and the strings of your heart are ringing.
Eh, you broke up with everyone
but this does not mean that you have determined your fate.
I think you know how it is
although this is unusual
when the heavenly choir begins to sing:
you are captured by a perfect day.

Jaffa Gate 1 Jaffa Gate 2 Jaffa Gate 1

Jaffa Gate is the main gate of the Christian and Armenian quarters of the Old City in Jerusalem, built in 1537 on the site of the gate of an earlier period. During a visit to Jerusalem by Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1898, the Ottoman authorities decided to destroy part of the fortress wall at the Jaffa Gate so that the emperor could freely enter the city in his carriage. In 1917, the British General Edmund Allenby, after the defeat of the Turkish troops, entered the Old Town through the Jaffa Gate on foot in deference to the city and wishing to avoid a comparison with Kaiser.

Hill of Venus. According to the Christian faith, Jesus Christ was crucified on Calvary - a hill in the vicinity of Jerusalem. Calvary became a place of worship among the early Christians. The Roman emperor Hadrian, who hated Christians, ordered Golgotha ​​to be covered with earth and put a temple of the pagan goddess Venus and a statue of Jupiter on this artificial hill. In the IV century, the pagan temple was demolished, the temple of the Holy Sepulcher was erected on Calvary. I also note that in palmistry (occult "science", the ability to predict the future of a person in his palm) the hill of Venus, or the fleshy part of the thumb, is that eminence that is located at the base of the thumb. Finally, anatomically - the hill of Venus means the female pubis.
