Hi dear colleagues! I wanna teach a song by Cat stevents " lady d �arbanville" but am little bit confused. I don �t understand what the singer means by "so still " Does he mean time or the way she sleeps.
My Lady d �Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
Thanks a lot. |

He means the way she seems to sleep, but in reality she is dead.
It �s about a girlfriend that he missed so much, that he wrote as if she had died.
I loved that song - very sad and beautiful.
You can read about it here.

ps - to be still, means to not move or make a sound.

if you stay still you stay in the same position and do not move

I love Cat Stevens and I love that song. Insofar as I know, Libertybelle is right. She sleeps so still because she �s dead. |
