Deep Purple – Soldier of Fortune

Depp Purple‘ın 1974 yılında çıkan Stormbringer isimli albümünde 9. sırada yer alsa da, benim için albümün ve Deep Purple’ın bir numaralı parçasıdır her zaman. Hayatın anlamını ve yaşantısını sorgulatır insana, acıması yoktur. Smoke On The Water‘dan bile çok seviyorum bu parçayı, sözlerini…

I have often told you stories
about the way
I lived the life of a drifter
waiting for the day
When I’d take your hand and sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me and love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel I’m growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I’ll always be
A soldier of fortune.

Many times I’ve been a traveler
I looked for something new
In days of old when nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you’re not here.

Now I feel I’m going older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I’ll always be
A soldier of fortune

Yes, I can hear the sound
of a windmill going round
I guess I’ll always be
a soldier of fortune.

I guess I’ll always be
a soldier of fortune.
