Shamisen 三​味​線 (He who loves out of guilt has long forgotten the face of his lover)

by Tango Mangalore

/

about

A one track release about a most unfortunate tale if you ask me, where all the characters will dance in the 3 strings of a japanese Shamisen and slowly collide until eventually each one will face his own fate.
Of course the loser is the one who gets to sing!
Now in real life. If you ever find yourself entangled in such a dreadful Ménage à trois I suggest you get the hell out of there as fast you can.

Your support to this track release goes to fund Sea-Watch and to support the cause of saving refugee lifes at Sea.

Support Sea-Watch .
Save lives.

lyrics

Ι've been hiding in my home
I lie to everyone that I am well
I don't wait for any call
I wait a ship to come
and take me far away
What is left over this heart
I will put it in a box
and I will run away
And I will leave you as you want
Will you be happy then
the day when I’'ll go?
I will be there by myself
To no one I will tell
goodbye, so long
I will play the Shamisen
and I will be so sad
for all I've done
We may never speak again
I hope you're doing well
but you must know...
I am sorry for the dread
I hope you feel relief
the day when I’'’ll go!
And I read the text you sent,
you want me to be well,
it really means a lot!
I don't know where you have learnt
To love me out of guilt,
but this is not enough
All my records on your stand,
they don't mean anything
if we don't talk
And when you'll wish to speak again
you'll come down by my grave one day
and cry all you want
I will miss you, yes I will
I hope you won't regret
the path you chose
I will play the Shamisen
I hope you won't forget my face
I really hope you won't
Please don't!?
