Paul Simon - I Am a Rock Lyrics & Traduction


A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window
To the streets below
On a freshly fallen, silent shroud of snow


I am a rock
I am an island


I've built walls
A fortress, steep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain


I am a rock
I am an island


Don't talk of love
Well, I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
And I won't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I never loved, I never would have cried

I am a rock
I am an island


I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me


I am a rock
I am an island


And a rock can feel no pain
And an island never cries
