PETER, PAUL & MARY
- No Other Name Lyrics / with translationsKnow me by the light of a fire shinin' bright,
Know me by your bed where I've lain
Know me, and you might, if just for a night
You'll know me by no other name.
Some girls will bring you silver
Some will bring you fine spanish lace
Some will say "i love you"
Some will have my face.
Some will bring you gold, babies to hold,
I'll bring you only pain.
You can know me, if you will, by the wind on the hill
You'll know me by no other name.
Some girls will die for money,
Some will die as they're born,
Some will swear they'd die for love,
Some die ev'ry morn.
I'll die alone, away from my home
Nobody knows where I came.
The stone at my head will say I am dead,
It knows me by no other name.
It knows me by no other name.
Know me by your bed where I've lain
Know me, and you might, if just for a night
You'll know me by no other name.
Some girls will bring you silver
Some will bring you fine spanish lace
Some will say "i love you"
Some will have my face.
Some will bring you gold, babies to hold,
I'll bring you only pain.
You can know me, if you will, by the wind on the hill
Some girls will die for money,
Some will die as they're born,
Some will swear they'd die for love,
Some die ev'ry morn.
I'll die alone, away from my home
Nobody knows where I came.
The stone at my head will say I am dead,
It knows me by no other name.
It knows me by no other name.

When we think about the deeper meaning of the song, 'No Other Name' by Peter, Paul and Mary is a song that explores the themes of identity and anonymity, metaphoring the situation of being known by 'no other name' with a person who is isolated and the very nature of recognition becoming ungraspable. The song is full of very vivid emotions such as heartbreak, angst, despair, solitude and self-examination. However, the piece does not only examine the characters' feelings but also the ways in which identity and anonymity are intertwined, different kinds of love and relationships are contrasted and the states of isolation and loneliness are perceived. The lyrics express mature themes of pain, death, and loneliness, and they might not be appropriate for younger children.
