letra de polaris - pulp musicals
rose:
there
auriga
herschel:
capella, menkalinan, mahasim
there
gemini
rose:
castor, pollux, alhena
don’t go easy on me. there
sagitta
herschel:
alpha, beta, gamma
rose:
boring
herschel:
not every star has a name
rose:
that’s why i make it a game
i hereby dub the brightest stars
in the constellation sagitta
rose, samuel, margaret, and john
herschel:
so i’m the dimmest?
rose:
naturally. (herschel laughs) what?
herschel:
if my father were here
what would he think of our exercise
rose:
he has cataloged thousands of stars
herschel:
more than anyone еlse alive
rose:
would legеndary astronomer
william herschel approve
herschel:
he’d be decidedly unamused
he’d say that we’re just tracing lines
‘round things he spent his life to find
of no real benefit to society
rose:
i disagree
i think the rose star
will someday prove significant
herschel:
followed by dreamers everywhere
rose:
i would be okay with that
herschel:
rose
how did you guess
that we were sailing for british guiana?
rose:
polaris
herschel:
polaris
rose:
see her there
the north star’s descending
now she sits just above the water
sailing south since barbados
with only a day till we reach our bay
well… it’s basic astronomy
herschel:
indeed
polaris, the one thing
a constant suspended
guiding every voyage
a beacon in the night
there for generations
a legacy of light
rose:
polaris, the one thing
a distance untraveled
filling every daydream
a moment that is gifted
a singular promise, a vow
that the veil will be lifted
rose, herschel:
and even when it seems
you are out on your own
she protects you
from total unknown
shining for trillions of miles
humanity’s chaperone
always there to help us home
polaris, the one thing
is different for us all
so soon to fall
rose:
it won’t be long before polaris vanishes behind
the horizon. that’s what i meant by ‘fall’
herschel:
(awkwardly) me too
rose:
‘basic astronomy.’
herschel:
(bad at this) yeah
rose:
polaris told me our latitude, but our longitude
would have been impossible to guess without
geographic clues
herschel:
i believe our experiment in british guiana will
help
narrator:
a candle burns
there’s salt in the air
margaret sits by a window
wrapped in a blanket
wind in her hair
she opens her hands and they start to glow
margaret:
a whisper in a daydream
a melody that lingers
a sensation i recognize…
samuel:
you’re getting good at that
margaret:
it’s been easier to bring about, but i’m still not
able to control its strength. not like…
samuel:
when you tossed rose and i across the room like
it was nothing?
margaret:
you deserved it
samuel:
i know. (beat) listen, margaret…
margaret:
give me time, samuel
samuel:
of course. i’m sorry
margaret:
i’ll let you know when i’m ready to talk
samuel:
you’ll know where to find me
