Jefferson Airplane - Lather

Lather was thirty years old today
They took away all of his toys
His mother sent newspaper clippings
to him about his old friends
who'd stopped being boys

There was Harwitz E. Green,
just turned thirty-three,
His leather chair waits at the bank
And Sergeant Dow Jones,
twenty-seven years old,
Commanding his very own tank

But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do
To lie about nude in the sand
Drawing pictures of mountains
that look like bumps
And thrashing the air with his hands.

But wait, o Lather's productive you know
He produces the finest of sound
Putting drumsticks
on either side of his nose
Snorting the best licks in town
But that's all over

Lather was thirty years old today
And Lather came foam from his tongue
He looked at me eyes wide
And plainly said
Is it true that I'm no longer young

And the children call him famous
What the old men call him insane
And sometimes he's so nameless
That he hardly knows
Which game to play
Which words to say

And I should have told him
"No, you're not old."
And I should have let him go
Smiling... babywide


오늘 서른 살이 된 Lather는
장난감을 모두 뺏기고 말았어요
어머니께서는 더 이상 철부지처럼
굴지 않는 Lather의 옛 친구들 기사가 난
신문 클립을 보내 주셨어요

이제 서른 세 살이 된
Harwitz E. Green 기사가 있었죠
그는 가죽 의자에 앉아 은행에서 일하고
스물 일곱 살이 된
Dow Jones 중사는
자기 탱크를 지휘해요

하지만 Lather는 아직도
백사장에 벌거벗고 누워서
안전턱 같이 보이는
산을 그리고 허공에
손을 휘젓는 것을 좋아해요

하지만 그에게도 기발한 면이 있어요
아주 멋진 소리를 만들어 내거든요
드럼 스틱을
두 콧구멍에 끼우고
흔들면서 씩씩거리죠
하지만 그것도 다 끝났어요

오늘 서른 살이 된 Lather는
화가 잔뜩 나서 찾아 왔어요
눈을 크게 뜨고 날 바라 보더니
무덤덤하게 말했죠
내가 더 이상 젊지 않다는게 사실인가요

아이들은 그를 유명 인사라 부르고
아버지는 그를 미쳤다고 해요
때로 그는 너무도 초라한 기분에
무엇을 하고 놀아야 할지
무슨 말을 해야 할지
전혀 알 수 없기도 해요

"아니에요, 당신은 나이 들지 않았어요"
난 이렇게 말하고
웃으면서 그를
떠나 보내야 했어요
