Cities In Dust

Peter Clarke, Steven Bailey, Susan Ballion

Lyrics Translation

Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?

Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
But ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
My friend

We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands, but

Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
My friend, my friend

Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying

Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Molten bodies, blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes, and ohh

Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
And ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
My friend, my friend
My friend, my friend

Your city lies in dust
Your city lies in dust
Your city, your city
This city lies in dust
Your city, this city
Our city, it lies in dust
Lies in dust
It lies in dust
I love you Siouxsie

Water was running, children were running
A água estava correndo, as crianças estavam correndo
You were running out of time
Você estava ficando sem tempo
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Sob a montanha, uma fonte dourada
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?
Você estava orando no santuário dos Lares?
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, sua cidade está em ruínas
But ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Mas ohh-oh, oh, sua cidade está em ruínas
My friend
Meu amigo
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Nós te encontramos escondido, nós te encontramos mentindo
Choking on the dirt and sand
Engasgando com a sujeira e a areia
Your former glories and all the stories
Suas antigas glórias e todas as histórias
Dragged and washed with eager hands, but
Arrastadas e lavadas com mãos ansiosas, mas
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, sua cidade está em ruínas
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, sua cidade está em ruínas
My friend, my friend
Meu amigo, meu amigo
Water was running, children were running
A água estava correndo, as crianças estavam correndo
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Nós te encontramos escondido, nós te encontramos mentindo
Water was running, children were running
A água estava correndo, as crianças estavam correndo
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Nós te encontramos escondido, nós te encontramos mentindo
Hot and burning in your nostrils
Quente e ardendo em suas narinas
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Derramando pela sua boca aberta
Molten bodies, blanket of cinders
Corpos derretidos, cobertos de cinzas
Caught in the throes, and ohh
Presos nos estertores, e ohh
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, sua cidade está em ruínas
And ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
E ohh-oh, oh, sua cidade está em ruínas
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, sua cidade está em ruínas
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, sua cidade está em ruínas
My friend, my friend
Meu amigo, meu amigo
My friend, my friend
Meu amigo, meu amigo
Your city lies in dust
Sua cidade está em ruínas
Your city lies in dust
Sua cidade está em ruínas
Your city, your city
Sua cidade, sua cidade
This city lies in dust
Esta cidade está em ruínas
Your city, this city
Sua cidade, esta cidade
Our city, it lies in dust
Nossa cidade, está em ruínas
Lies in dust
Está em ruínas
It lies in dust
Está em ruínas
I love you Siouxsie
Eu te amo Siouxsie
Water was running, children were running
El agua corría, los niños corrían
You were running out of time
Te estabas quedando sin tiempo
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Bajo la montaña, una fuente dorada
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?
¿Estabas rezando en el santuario de los Lares?
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, tu ciudad yace en polvo
But ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Pero ohh-oh, oh, tu ciudad yace en polvo
My friend
Mi amigo
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Te encontramos escondido, te encontramos mintiendo
Choking on the dirt and sand
Ahogándote en la tierra y la arena
Your former glories and all the stories
Tus antiguas glorias y todas las historias
Dragged and washed with eager hands, but
Arrastradas y lavadas con manos ansiosas, pero
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, tu ciudad yace en polvo
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, tu ciudad yace en polvo
My friend, my friend
Mi amigo, mi amigo
Water was running, children were running
El agua corría, los niños corrían
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Te encontramos escondido, te encontramos mintiendo
Water was running, children were running
El agua corría, los niños corrían
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Te encontramos escondido, te encontramos mintiendo
Hot and burning in your nostrils
Caliente y ardiente en tus fosas nasales
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Vertiéndose por tu boca abierta
Molten bodies, blanket of cinders
Cuerpos fundidos, manta de cenizas
Caught in the throes, and ohh
Atrapado en los estertores, y ohh
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, tu ciudad yace en polvo
And ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Y ohh-oh, oh, tu ciudad yace en polvo
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, tu ciudad yace en polvo
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, tu ciudad yace en polvo
My friend, my friend
Mi amigo, mi amigo
My friend, my friend
Mi amigo, mi amigo
Your city lies in dust
Tu ciudad yace en polvo
Your city lies in dust
Tu ciudad yace en polvo
Your city, your city
Tu ciudad, tu ciudad
This city lies in dust
Esta ciudad yace en polvo
Your city, this city
Tu ciudad, esta ciudad
Our city, it lies in dust
Nuestra ciudad, yace en polvo
Lies in dust
Yace en polvo
It lies in dust
Yace en polvo
I love you Siouxsie

Hot and burning in your nostrils
Heiß und brennend in deinen Nasenlöchern
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Hinunterströmend in deinen gähnenden Mund
Molten bodies, blanket of cinders

Water was running, children were running
L'acqua scorreva, i bambini correvano
You were running out of time
Stavi finendo il tempo
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Sotto la montagna, una fontana d'oro
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?
Stavi pregando al santuario dei Lari?
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, la tua città giace nella polvere
But ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ma ohh-oh, oh, la tua città giace nella polvere
My friend
Amico mio
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Ti abbiamo trovato nascosto, ti abbiamo trovato a mentire
Choking on the dirt and sand
Soffocando sulla terra e sulla sabbia
Your former glories and all the stories
Le tue glorie passate e tutte le storie
Dragged and washed with eager hands, but
Trascinate e lavate con mani avide, ma
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, la tua città giace nella polvere
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, la tua città giace nella polvere
My friend, my friend
Amico mio, amico mio
Water was running, children were running
L'acqua scorreva, i bambini correvano
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Ti abbiamo trovato nascosto, ti abbiamo trovato a mentire
Water was running, children were running
L'acqua scorreva, i bambini correvano
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Ti abbiamo trovato nascosto, ti abbiamo trovato a mentire
Hot and burning in your nostrils
Caldo e bruciante nelle tue narici
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Versando giù per la tua bocca spalancata
Molten bodies, blanket of cinders
Corpi fusi, coperta di cenere
Caught in the throes, and ohh
Preso nelle doglie, e ohh
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, la tua città giace nella polvere
And ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
E ohh-oh, oh, la tua città giace nella polvere
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, la tua città giace nella polvere
Ohh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust
Ohh-oh, oh, la tua città giace nella polvere
My friend, my friend
Amico mio, amico mio
My friend, my friend
Amico mio, amico mio
Your city lies in dust
La tua città giace nella polvere
Your city lies in dust
La tua città giace nella polvere
Your city, your city
La tua città, la tua città
This city lies in dust
Questa città giace nella polvere
Your city, this city
La tua città, questa città
Our city, it lies in dust
La nostra città, giace nella polvere
Lies in dust
Giace nella polvere
It lies in dust
Giace nella polvere
I love you Siouxsie
Ti amo Siouxsie
