Nick Drake - Saturday Sun

Saturday sun came early one morning
In a sky so clear and blue
Saturday sun came without warning
So no-one knew what to do.
Saturday sun brought people and faces
That didn't seem much in their day
But when I remember those people
and places
They were really too good in their way.
In their way
In their way
Saturday sun won't come and see me today.

Think about stories with reason and rhyme
Circling through your brain.
And think about people in their season and time
Returning again and again
And again
And again
And Saturday's sun has turned to
Sunday's rain.

So Sunday sat in the Saturday sun
And wept for a day gone by.




El sol del sábado llegó temprano una mañana
En un cielo muy claro y azul
El sol del sábado llegó sin avisar
Y nadie supo qué hacer.
El sol del sábado trajo personas y rostros
Que no parecían gran cosa en ese día
Pero cuando recuerdo aquellas personas
y lugares
Eran realmente muy buenos a su manera.
A su manera
A su manera
El sol del sábado, ¿vendrá a verme hoy?

Piensa en historias con argumento y rima
Dando vueltas en tu cabeza.
Y piensa en personas en su ocasión y momento
Volviendo una y otra vez
Y otra vez
Y otra vez
Y el sol del sábado se ha vuelto
lluvia del domingo.

Así que el domingo se posó en el sol del sábado
Y lloró por el día que se había ido.

This song makes me think of being a little girl, listening to my daddy playing the vibes in our basement. Bittersweet tears are falling from my eyes; thanks, Nick Drake:)

thanks for posting:) Puts me at ease more than any recording I have memory of listening to.

Lovely Lovely song

@boxingsinger I think most people in a mental home would understand this music, and love it all the same... So it's probably just a deaf and bitter old man who disliked this.

This is such a wonderful song and I can feel the angst and pain he felt in all the tragic songs he wrote. I have been a Nick Drake fan since I was 8 and dad brought home Five Leaves Left. he used to sit and listen to this song and bravely weep, which for a man in my youth was unheard of. We played this song at his funeral last year as it just seemed so fitting.

[Mazurka1001]

@LIEND24 I figure in that line, he's saying "really too good" in his awesome Midlands accent. You can hear it in other songs, too, when he says "years," etc.

Que linda la poesía

[leosperez1970]

[LIEND24]

"That didn't seem much in their day

But when I remember those people and places

They were rarely too good in their way..."

It seems Nick's truth: simply too good
