Lyrics Translation

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Somethin' filled up
My heart with nothin'
Someone told me not to cry

Now that I'm older
My heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Children, wake up
Hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust

If the children don't grow up
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We're just a million little god's causin' rain storms
Turnin' every good thing to rust
I guess we'll just have to adjust

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin
I can see where I am goin' to be
When the reaper he reaches and touches my hand

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin'
I can see where I am goin'
With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin'
I can see where I am go, goin'

You better look out below

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Somethin' filled up
Algo preencheu
My heart with nothin'
Meu coração com nada
Someone told me not to cry
Alguém me disse para não chorar
Now that I'm older
Agora que sou mais velho
My heart's colder
Meu coração está mais frio
And I can see that it's a lie
E eu posso ver que é uma mentira
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Children, wake up
Crianças, acordem
Hold your mistake up
Retenham seus erros
Before they turn the summer into dust
Antes que eles transformem o verão em pó
If the children don't grow up
Se as crianças não crescem
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
Nossos corpos ficam maiores, mas nossos corações se atrofiam
We're just a million little god's causin' rain storms
Somos apenas um milhão de pequenos deuses causando tempestades de chuvas
Turnin' every good thing to rust
Transformando cada coisa boa em ferrugem
I guess we'll just have to adjust
Acho que teremos que nos adaptar
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin
Com meus raios de luz tão brilhantes
I can see where I am goin' to be
Eu posso ver aonde eu estarei
When the reaper he reaches and touches my hand
Quando o ceifador me alcançar e tocar minha mão
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin'
Com meus raios de luz tão brilhantes
I can see where I am goin'
Eu posso ver para onde estou indo
With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin'
Com meus raios de luz tão brilhantes
I can see where I am go, goin'
Posso ver para onde estou indo, indo
You better look out below
É melhor que você olhe para baixo!

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Somethin' filled up
Algo llenó
My heart with nothin'
Mi corazón con vacío
Someone told me not to cry
Alguien me dijo que no llorara
Now that I'm older
Ahora que soy mayor
My heart's colder
Mi corazón está más frío
And I can see that it's a lie
Y puedo ver que es una mentira
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Children, wake up
Niños, despierten
Hold your mistake up
Mantengan el error en alto
Before they turn the summer into dust
Antes de que ellos conviertan el verano en polvo
If the children don't grow up
Si los niños no crecen
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
Nuestros cuerpos se hacen más grandes pero nuestros corazones se rompen
We're just a million little god's causin' rain storms
Somos solo un millón de pequeños dioses que causan tormentas de lluvia
Turnin' every good thing to rust
Convirtiendo todo lo bueno en polvo
I guess we'll just have to adjust
Supongo que tendremos que ajustarnos

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin
Con mis rayos resplandecientes
I can see where I am goin' to be
Puedo ver dónde voy a estar
When the reaper he reaches and touches my hand
Cuando la muerte me alcance y toque mi mano
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I can see where I am goin'
Puedo ver a dónde voy
With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin'
Con mis rayos resplandecientes
I can see where I am go, goin'
Puedo ver a dónde voy, voy
You better look out below
Será mejor que mires hacia abajo

Somethin' filled up
Quelque chose a rempli
My heart with nothin'
Mon cœur avec rien
Someone told me not to cry
Quelqu'un m'a dit de ne pas pleurer
Now that I'm older
Maintenant que je suis plus vieux
My heart's colder
Mon cœur est plus froid
And I can see that it's a lie
Et je vois que c'est un mensonge

Children, wake up
Les enfants, réveillez-vous
Hold your mistake up
Arrêtez vos erreurs
Before they turn the summer into dust
Avant qu'elles ne réduisent l'été en poussière
If the children don't grow up
Si les enfants ne grandissent pas
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
Nos corps grandissent mais nos cœurs sont déchirés
We're just a million little god's causin' rain storms
Nous ne sommes qu'un million de petits dieux qui provoquent des pluies d'orage
Turnin' every good thing to rust
Faisant rouiller toutes les bonnes choses
I guess we'll just have to adjust
Je suppose que nous devrons juste nous adapter

Avec mes éclairs étincelants

Je peux voir où je serai
When the reaper he reaches and touches my hand
Quand le faucheur viendra et touchera ma main

Je peux voir où je vais, où je vais.

Somethin' filled up
Irgendetwas hat
My heart with nothin'
mein Herz mit nichts gefüllt
Someone told me not to cry
Jemand sagte mir, ich solle nicht weinen
Now that I'm older
Jetzt, wo ich älter bin
My heart's colder
Mein Herz ist kälter
And I can see that it's a lie
Und ich kann sehen, dass es eine Lüge ist

Children, wake up
Kinder, wacht auf!
Hold your mistake up
Halte deinen Fehler hoch
Before they turn the summer into dust
Bevor sie den Sommer in Staub verwandeln
If the children don't grow up
Wenn die Kinder nicht erwachsen werden
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
werden unsere Körper größer, aber unsere Herzen werden zerrissen
We're just a million little god's causin' rain storms
Wir sind nur eine Million kleiner Götter, die Regenstürme verursachen
Turnin' every good thing to rust
und jede gute Sache in Rost verwandeln
I guess we'll just have to adjust
Ich schätze, wir werden uns einfach anpassen müssen

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Somethin' filled up
Qualcosa ha riempito
My heart with nothin'
Il mio cuore con il nulla
Someone told me not to cry
Qualcuno mi ha detto di non piangere
Now that I'm older
Adesso che sono più grande
My heart's colder
Il mio cuore è più freddo
And I can see that it's a lie
E riesco a capire che è una bugia

Children, wake up
Bambini, svegliatevi
Hold your mistake up
Sostenete i vostri sbagli
Before they turn the summer into dust
Prima che trasformino l'estate in polvere
If the children don't grow up
Se i bambini non crescessero
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
I nostri corpi sarebbero più grandi ma i nostri cuori sarebbero lacerati
We're just a million little god's causin' rain storms
Siamo soltanto un milione di piccoli dei che causano tempeste
Turnin' every good thing to rust
Trasformando ogni cosa buona in ruggine
I guess we'll just have to adjust
Credo che dovremo solo adattarci

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin
Con le mie saette ad illuminare
I can see where I am goin' to be
Riesco a vedere dove sarò
When the reaper he reaches and touches my hand
Quando il mietitore mi raggiungerà e mi toccherà la mano

Somethin' filled up
何かのせいで
My heart with nothin'
俺の心は空っぽで
Someone told me not to cry
誰かに泣くなって言われたんだ
Now that I'm older
もう子どもじゃない
My heart's colder
気持ちもずっと冷めている
And I can see that it's a lie
だからわかる そりゃ嘘だって
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Children, wake up
子どもたち、目を覚ますんだ
Hold your mistake up
君たちの間違いを掲げて
Before they turn the summer into dust
夏を塵になっちまったら手遅れだ
If the children don't grow up
子どもが成長しないなら
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
この身体だけ大きくなり 心が張り裂けちまう
We're just a million little god's causin' rain storms
俺たち雨や嵐を呼ぶ何百万もの小さな神々
Turnin' every good thing to rust
あらゆる善良なものを錆びつかせちまう
I guess we'll just have to adjust
でもさ、うまくできるはずだろ
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin
この稲妻が輝きを増せば
I can see where I am goin' to be
自分がどこをいくべきなのか見えてくる
When the reaper he reaches and touches my hand
死に神が来てこの手に触れるときでもね
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin'
この稲妻が輝きを増せば
I can see where I am goin'
自分がどこをいくべきなのか見えてくる
With my lightnin' bolts a-glowin'
この稲妻が輝きを増せば
I can see where I am go, goin'
自分がどこをいくべきなのか見えてくる
You better look out below
でも足元には気をつけなきゃダメだぜ
