Description
A dusty road, cracked boots, and the eternal feeling that joy and pain always go hand in hand. The words sound as if they were taken from an old diary, stained by rain and sun in equal measure. There is no glossy power here - only weary perseverance and a voice that sings not because it is easy, but because it is impossible not to.
Each verse conveys the bitterness of wandering and a warm longing for home, where it all began and, perhaps, where it will all end. The angel wings turn out to be torn, but the songs still lift you above the asphalt. The music seems to say: the world does not promise comfort, but there is always a place in it where faith and bitterness can sit at the same table.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I am a girl of constant sorrow.
Every day that our love breaks.
I'm going back to Arizona.
A place where I was born and raised.
All through this world,
I'm bound to ramble.
Through sun and wind and driving rain.
I'm bound to drive the western highways.
To a place of joy and pain.
Some folks they think that I'm an angel.
But I've got holes inside my wings.
I can't take flight.
I only stumble.
But with my lungs, find strength to sing.
It is a world of constant sorrow.
I am a girl of constant sorrow.
It is a world of constant sorrow.
May God be with us through the days.
I'm going back to Arizona.
A place where I was born and raised.
I'm going back to Arizona.
A place where I can have my faith.
It is a world of constant sorrow.
I am a girl of constant sorrow.
