Vackra låttexter

Detta är då Italiens bidrag i ESC 2018 översatt till engelska. En låt som jag tycker är extremt viktig och väldigt fint skriven.


Now they don't know what time it is in Cairo
The sun on La Rambla today isn't the same
In France, there's a concert
People having fun
Someone sings powerfully
Someone screams "to death"
In London it always rains, but today it doesn't hurt
The sky makes no exception, even for a funeral
In Nice, the sea is red with fire and shame
With people on the asphalt and blood in the sewer

[Verse 2: Fabrizio Moro]
And this enormous body that we call Earth
Wounded to its core form Asia to England
Galaxies of people dispersed in space
But the most important space is that of an embrace
Of mothers without sons, sons without fathers
Of faces lit up like walls without pictures
Minutes of silence, broken by a voice
You haven't done anything to me

[Chorus: Ermal Meta]
You haven't done anything to me
You've taken nothing from me
This is my life, and it keeps going
Beyond everything, beyond people
You haven't done anything to me
You haven't won anything
Because there's more than your pointless wars

[Verse 3: Fabrizio Moro]
There are those who make the sign of the cross
And those who pray on rugs
Churches and mosques
Imams and all the priests
Separate entrances to the same house
Billions of people hoping for something

[Verse 4: Ermal Meta]
Arms without hands
Faces without names
Let's swap our skin
Deep down we're all human
Because our lives aren't a point of view
And there is no pacifist bomb

[Chorus: Fabrizio Moro]
You haven't done anything to me
You've taken nothing from me
This is my life, and it keeps going
Beyond everything, beyond people
You haven't done anything to me
You haven't got anything
Because there's more than your pointless wars
Your pointless wars

Cause the stars are dull when they're compared to you and I
And if people don't like it then they can close their eyes
Cause we're not the same and we don't have to try
We're brighter than fireflies, we're gonna light the sky

Good morning, great Moloch
Bright nothing, sunflower
Selling your peacocks at the corner of sight

Good evening, blood mother
Far off and broken
A nexus, a typhon, a walker on stilts
Ship dreaming, and arctic
A polar exploring

A seagull and seahorse
Crossbred and unborn

Good morning, great Moloch
Great silence, bent river
Driving home darkness at the close of the day

Good evening, blood father
Smudged by the twilight
Made iridescent by the tongue of the sea
Quick sleeping equator
A patchwork of terrors

Bound up in brightness
Through swallowing gold

"Oh, Mrs O
We all know
There's no hell and no hiroshima
Chernobyl was a cover up
The world is really all in love
Oh Mrs O
Will you leave us hanging now that we are grown
Up and old
Will you kill me if I say I told you so
We all know
There's no hitler and no holocaust
No winter and no santa clause
And yes virginia all because
The truth can't save you now
The sky is falling down
Eveything they ever told us
Shakes our faith and breaks their promise
But you can stop the truth from leaking
If you never stop believing"

I text låter det bara så udda men låten gör mig så känslosam :p

You could be my silver spring
Blue-green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
Your shining autumn ocean crashing

Don't say that she's pretty?
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I don't want to know

So I begin not to love you
Turn around, see me running
I say I loved you years ago
But tell myself you never loved me, no

Don't say that she's pretty?
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I don't want to know

Oh no, and can you tell me was it worth it?
Baby, I don't want to know

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me
Well I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me

I follow you down until the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
(Give me just a chance)
You'll never get away from the sound
Of the woman who loves you
Was I just a fool

I follow you down until the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
(Give me just a chance)
You'll never get away from the sound
Of the woman who loves you
(Was I just a fool)

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me

Wish that you could build a time machine
So you could see
The things no one can see
Feels like you're standing on the edge
Looking at the stars
And wishing you were them

What do you do when a chapter ends?
Do you close the book and never read it again?
Where do you go when your story's done?
You can be who you were or who you'll become
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh, if it all goes wrong
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh, darling just hold on

The sun goes down and it comes back up
The world it turns no matter what
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh, if it all goes wrong
Darling, just hold on

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh, darling, just hold on
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh

It's not over 'til it's all been said
It's not over 'til your dying breath
So what do you want them to say when you're gone?
That you gave up or that you kept going on?

What do you do when a chapter ends?
Do you close the book and never read it again?
Where do you go when your story's done?
You can be who you were or who you'll become
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh, if it all goes wrong
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh, darling just hold on

The sun goes down and it comes back up
The world it turns no matter what
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh, if it all goes wrong
Darling, just hold on

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh
Darling, just hold on
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh
If it all goes wrong
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh
Darling just hold on

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh
If it all goes wrong, darling just hold on
