How Do You Know
Cian Ducrot
How do you know, do you know
That the good days are now
While you're living them out?
Someone's off in the corner
Pitching a fire, all on their own
Someone's calling their friends
While you're missing them and they're so far from home
All the lads in the corner
Singing to daughters and dancing around
Half a Jack on the table
'Cause no one's been able to drink it down
Well, we don't know the words but we're singing
'Cause these are the times
So, how do you know, do you know
That the good days are now
While you're living them out?
And how do you know, do you know
That the ones that you're living
Are the ones you'll be missing?
Well, we don't know the words but we're singing
'Cause these are the times
So, how do you know, do you know
That the good days are now
While you're living them out right now?
One lost touch in the summer
Moved to the suburbs, probably settled down
I'm not sure about the others
One lost his brother and one moves around
I still think of that night
Did we have it all right?
Still, we all searched for more
So now, when I sit 'round a table
I wish we were able to sing it like before
Well, we don't know the words but we're singing
'Cause these are the times
So, how do you know, do you know
That the good days are now
While you're living them out?
And how do you know, do you know
That the ones that you're living
Are the ones you'll be missing?
Well, we don't know the words but we're singing
'Cause these are the times
Well, we don't know the words but we're singing
'Cause these are the times, right now
All that's left is a photo
I don't even know who took it back then
Who'd have thought in the moment
That I'd get to hold all that's left in the end?
How do you know, do you know
Como você sabe, você sabe
That the good days are now
Que os bons dias são agora
While you're living them out?
Enquanto você está vivendo eles?
Someone's off in the corner
Alguém está no canto
Pitching a fire, all on their own
Acendendo um fogo, todo sozinho
Someone's calling their friends
Alguém está chamando seus amigos
While you're missing them and they're so far from home
Enquanto você sente falta deles e eles estão tão longe de casa
All the lads in the corner
Todos os rapazes no canto
Singing to daughters and dancing around
Cantando para as filhas e dançando ao redor
Half a Jack on the table
Meio Jack na mesa
'Cause no one's been able to drink it down
Porque ninguém conseguiu beber tudo
Well, we don't know the words but we're singing
Bem, nós não sabemos as palavras, mas estamos cantando
'Cause these are the times
Porque esses são os tempos
So, how do you know, do you know
Então, como você sabe, você sabe
That the good days are now
Que os bons dias são agora
While you're living them out?
Enquanto você está vivendo eles?
And how do you know, do you know
E como você sabe, você sabe
That the ones that you're living
Que aqueles que você está vivendo
Are the ones you'll be missing?
São os que você vai sentir falta?
Well, we don't know the words but we're singing
Bem, nós não sabemos as palavras, mas estamos cantando
'Cause these are the times
Porque esses são os tempos
So, how do you know, do you know
Então, como você sabe, você sabe
That the good days are now
Que os bons dias são agora
While you're living them out right now?
Enquanto você está vivendo eles agora?
One lost touch in the summer
Um perdeu o contato no verão
Moved to the suburbs, probably settled down
Mudou-se para os subúrbios, provavelmente se estabeleceu
I'm not sure about the others
Não tenho certeza sobre os outros
One lost his brother and one moves around
Um perdeu seu irmão e um se move por aí
I still think of that night
Eu ainda penso naquela noite
Did we have it all right?
Nós tínhamos tudo certo?
Still, we all searched for more
Ainda assim, todos nós procuramos por mais
So now, when I sit 'round a table
Então agora, quando eu sento em volta de uma mesa
I wish we were able to sing it like before
Eu gostaria que pudéssemos cantar como antes
Well, we don't know the words but we're singing
Bem, nós não sabemos as palavras, mas estamos cantando
'Cause these are the times
Porque esses são os tempos
So, how do you know, do you know
Então, como você sabe, você sabe
That the good days are now
Que os bons dias são agora
While you're living them out?
Enquanto você está vivendo eles?
And how do you know, do you know
E como você sabe, você sabe

Que aqueles que você está vivendo
Are the ones you'll be missing?
São os que você vai sentir falta?
Well, we don't know the words but we're singing
Bem, nós não sabemos as palavras, mas estamos cantando
'Cause these are the times
Porque esses são os tempos
Well, we don't know the words but we're singing
Bem, nós não sabemos as palavras, mas estamos cantando
'Cause these are the times, right now
Porque esses são os tempos, agora mesmo
All that's left is a photo
Tudo o que resta é uma foto
I don't even know who took it back then
Eu nem sei quem tirou ela naquela época
Who'd have thought in the moment
Quem teria pensado no momento
That I'd get to hold all that's left in the end?
Que eu conseguiria segurar tudo o que restou no final?
How do you know, do you know
¿Cómo sabes, sabes
That the good days are now
Que los buenos días son ahora
While you're living them out?
Mientras los estás viviendo?
Someone's off in the corner
Alguien está en la esquina
Pitching a fire, all on their own
Encendiendo un fuego, todo por su cuenta
Someone's calling their friends
Alguien está llamando a sus amigos
While you're missing them and they're so far from home
Mientras los extrañas y están tan lejos de casa
All the lads in the corner
Todos los chicos en la esquina
Singing to daughters and dancing around
Cantando a las hijas y bailando alrededor
Half a Jack on the table
Medio Jack en la mesa
'Cause no one's been able to drink it down
Porque nadie ha podido beberlo
Well, we don't know the words but we're singing
Bueno, no sabemos las palabras pero estamos cantando
'Cause these are the times
Porque estos son los tiempos
So, how do you know, do you know
Entonces, ¿cómo sabes, sabes

One lost touch in the summer

Moved to the suburbs, probably settled down
Se mudó a los suburbios, probablemente se estableció
I'm not sure about the others

One lost his brother and one moves around
Uno perdió a su hermano y otro se mueve
I still think of that night
Todavía pienso en esa noche
Did we have it all right?
¿Lo teníamos todo bien?
Still, we all searched for more
Aún así, todos buscamos más
So now, when I sit 'round a table
Así que ahora, cuando me siento alrededor de una mesa
I wish we were able to sing it like before

All that's left is a photo
Todo lo que queda es una foto
I don't even know who took it back then
Ni siquiera sé quién la tomó en aquel entonces
Who'd have thought in the moment
¿Quién hubiera pensado en el momento
That I'd get to hold all that's left in the end?
Que llegaría a tener todo lo que queda al final?
How do you know, do you know
Comment sais-tu, sais-tu
That the good days are now
Que les bons jours sont maintenant
While you're living them out?
Pendant que tu les vis ?
Someone's off in the corner
Quelqu'un est dans le coin

Allumant un feu, tout seul
Someone's calling their friends
Quelqu'un appelle ses amis

One lost touch in the summer

Moved to the suburbs, probably settled down

One lost touch in the summer

Moved to the suburbs, probably settled down

Ich weiß nicht einmal, wer es damals gemacht hat
Who'd have thought in the moment
Wer hätte in dem Moment gedacht
That I'd get to hold all that's left in the end?
Dass ich am Ende alles, was übrig bleibt, halten darf?

Come fai a sapere, lo sai

Who'd have thought in the moment
Chi avrebbe pensato in quel momento
That I'd get to hold all that's left in the end?
Che avrei avuto l'opportunità di tenere tutto ciò che resta alla fine?
