I Saw Light

Dan Carey, Grian Chatten, Kae Tempest

Lyrics Translation

Beginning with an ending in mind, I took a minute
Saw too much ahead of my time
Came away laughing, blushed
Carton crushed
Everything was unfastened
Rush
In the stifling air of a thin little moment
Rush
Can't keep my focus
My skin's your skin
Vivid as a memory fading by the minute
Screaming your name like I was afraid you'd be in it
You're truth to me
Clutching at straws, don't know you
Never even met you
Pause
I put my pen down and started to drift
I stopped living
Stared at the grass at the edge of the cliff
I saw women
Heart is a yellowing brick
Dead set on a wish that can never exist
A transition
Want to be is but I'm isn't
Ambition kicks me awake and says, dress
I was looking for the door
All I found was your flesh, your flesh
your blessed dismembered hands are sand
I'm stranded
I want to be thrown against the wall
By a tall cold dickhead
With a morse-code accent
That I can't look at
Without starting something I'll regret
Everything's beautiful, I digress

I saw light in the buildings at night
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
On the river, on the ledge, on the bridge
On the side of your face at the bar
It went dark, I saw light

I saw light in the buildings at night
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge
On the side of your face at the bar
It went dark, I saw light

Tapped out a few laughs on the summer's grass
And in all the sky's many merry blues
I read one thousand words
Of pretty good news
And now heliotropes around your light gather
And they chatter and chatter and they chatter
Make insipid remarks about things that matter
'Till they don't anymore
'Till they don't weigh a crumb
Until the caring in you is surely done
Until dead is every one of us floating about
Between good bookie odds and two for one on stout
So live it all out, in lust of a stage
Where you were busy trying to trap the heart on the page
Having scenes arranged into your bones
And happily arranging yourself to be alone
Believing happiness to be a train that just doesn't stop for you
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend

I saw light in the buildings at night
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge
On the side of your face at the bar
It went dark, I saw light

I saw light in the buildings at night
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge
On the side of your face at the bar
It went dark, I saw light

Beginning with an ending in mind, I took a minute
Começando com um fim em mente, eu tirei um minuto
Saw too much ahead of my time
Vi muito à frente do meu tempo
Came away laughing, blushed
Saí rindo, corado
Carton crushed
Caixa amassada
Everything was unfastened
Tudo estava desabotoado
Rush
Corra
In the stifling air of a thin little moment
No ar sufocante de um pequeno momento
Rush
Corra
Can't keep my focus
Não consigo manter meu foco
My skin's your skin
Minha pele é a sua pele
Vivid as a memory fading by the minute
Vívido como uma memória desvanecendo a cada minuto
Screaming your name like I was afraid you'd be in it
Gritando seu nome como se eu tivesse medo de você estar nele
You're truth to me
Você é a verdade para mim
Clutching at straws, don't know you
Agarrando-se a palhas, não te conheço
Never even met you
Nunca nem te conheci
Pause
Pausa
I put my pen down and started to drift
Eu coloquei minha caneta e comecei a divagar
I stopped living
Parei de viver
Stared at the grass at the edge of the cliff
Olhei para a grama na beira do penhasco
I saw women
Eu vi mulheres
Heart is a yellowing brick
Coração é um tijolo amarelando
Dead set on a wish that can never exist
Decidido por um desejo que nunca pode existir
A transition
Uma transição
Want to be is but I'm isn't
Quero ser, mas não sou
Ambition kicks me awake and says, dress
A ambição me acorda e diz, vista-se
I was looking for the door
Eu estava procurando a porta
All I found was your flesh, your flesh
Tudo que encontrei foi sua carne, sua carne
your blessed dismembered hands are sand
suas abençoadas mãos desmembradas são areia
I'm stranded
Estou encalhado
I want to be thrown against the wall
Quero ser jogado contra a parede
By a tall cold dickhead
Por um idiota alto e frio
With a morse-code accent
Com um sotaque em código Morse
That I can't look at
Que eu não consigo olhar
Without starting something I'll regret
Sem começar algo que vou me arrepender
Everything's beautiful, I digress
Tudo é lindo, eu divago
I saw light in the buildings at night
Eu vi luz nos prédios à noite
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
Eu vi luz nas janelas enquanto passava por elas
On the river, on the ledge, on the bridge
No rio, na borda, na ponte
On the side of your face at the bar
No lado do seu rosto no bar
It went dark, I saw light
Ficou escuro, eu vi luz
I saw light in the buildings at night
Eu vi luz nos prédios à noite
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
Eu vi luz nas janelas enquanto passava por elas
On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge
No rio, na ponte, na borda
On the side of your face at the bar
No lado do seu rosto no bar
It went dark, I saw light
Ficou escuro, eu vi luz
Tapped out a few laughs on the summer's grass
Bati algumas risadas na grama do verão
And in all the sky's many merry blues
E em todos os muitos azuis alegres do céu
I read one thousand words
Eu li mil palavras
Of pretty good news
De boas notícias
And now heliotropes around your light gather
E agora heliotrópios ao redor da sua luz se reúnem
And they chatter and chatter and they chatter
E eles tagarelam e tagarelam e tagarelam
Make insipid remarks about things that matter
Fazem comentários insípidos sobre coisas que importam
'Till they don't anymore
Até que não importam mais
'Till they don't weigh a crumb
Até que não pesem uma migalha
Until the caring in you is surely done
Até que o cuidado em você esteja certamente acabado
Until dead is every one of us floating about
Até que todos nós estejamos mortos flutuando por aí
Between good bookie odds and two for one on stout
Entre boas chances de apostas e dois por um em stout
So live it all out, in lust of a stage
Então viva tudo, na luxúria de um palco
Where you were busy trying to trap the heart on the page
Onde você estava ocupado tentando prender o coração na página
Having scenes arranged into your bones
Tendo cenas arranjadas em seus ossos
And happily arranging yourself to be alone
E felizmente se arranjando para ficar sozinho
Believing happiness to be a train that just doesn't stop for you
Acreditando que a felicidade é um trem que simplesmente não para por você
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Uma dor, mas um amigo que não finge
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Uma dor, mas um amigo que não finge
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Uma dor, mas um amigo que não finge

Beginning with an ending in mind, I took a minute
Comenzando con un final en mente, me tomé un minuto
Saw too much ahead of my time
Vi demasiado adelante de mi tiempo
Came away laughing, blushed
Me alejé riendo, sonrojado
Carton crushed
Cartón aplastado
Everything was unfastened
Todo estaba desabrochado
Rush
Rápido
In the stifling air of a thin little moment
En el aire sofocante de un pequeño momento
Rush
Rápido
Can't keep my focus
No puedo mantener mi enfoque
My skin's your skin
Mi piel es tu piel
Vivid as a memory fading by the minute
Vívido como un recuerdo que se desvanece por el minuto
Screaming your name like I was afraid you'd be in it
Gritando tu nombre como si tuviera miedo de que estuvieras en él
You're truth to me
Eres verdad para mí
Clutching at straws, don't know you
Agarrándome a las pajas, no te conozco
Never even met you
Nunca te he conocido
Pause
Pausa
I put my pen down and started to drift
Bajé mi pluma y comencé a divagar
I stopped living
Dejé de vivir
Stared at the grass at the edge of the cliff
Miré el césped al borde del acantilado
I saw women
Vi a mujeres
Heart is a yellowing brick
El corazón es un ladrillo amarillento

Decidido en un deseo que nunca puede existir
A transition

Want to be is but I'm isn't

Ambition kicks me awake and says, dress
La ambición me despierta y dice, vístete
I was looking for the door
Estaba buscando la puerta
All I found was your flesh, your flesh
Todo lo que encontré fue tu carne, tu carne
your blessed dismembered hands are sand
tus benditas manos desmembradas son arena
I'm stranded
Estoy varado
I want to be thrown against the wall
Quiero ser lanzado contra la pared
By a tall cold dickhead
Por un imbécil alto y frío
With a morse-code accent
Con un acento en código morse
That I can't look at
Que no puedo mirar
Without starting something I'll regret
Sin empezar algo que lamentaré
Everything's beautiful, I digress
Todo es hermoso, me desvío
I saw light in the buildings at night
Vi luz en los edificios por la noche
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
Vi luz en las ventanas mientras pasaba por ellas

Tapped out a few laughs on the summer's grass
Golpeé unas cuantas risas en el césped de verano
And in all the sky's many merry blues
Y en todos los alegres azules del cielo
I read one thousand words
Leí mil palabras
Of pretty good news
De bastante buenas noticias
And now heliotropes around your light gather
Y ahora los heliotropos se reúnen alrededor de tu luz
And they chatter and chatter and they chatter
Y charlan y charlan y charlan
Make insipid remarks about things that matter
Hacen comentarios insípidos sobre cosas que importan
'Till they don't anymore
Hasta que ya no lo hacen
'Till they don't weigh a crumb
Hasta que no pesan una miga
Until the caring in you is surely done
Hasta que el cuidado en ti seguramente se haya terminado
Until dead is every one of us floating about
Hasta que todos nosotros flotando estemos muertos
Between good bookie odds and two for one on stout
Entre buenas apuestas y dos por uno en stout
So live it all out, in lust of a stage
Así que vive todo, en lujuria de un escenario
Where you were busy trying to trap the heart on the page
Donde estabas ocupado tratando de atrapar el corazón en la página
Having scenes arranged into your bones
Teniendo escenas arregladas en tus huesos
And happily arranging yourself to be alone
Y felizmente arreglándote para estar solo
Believing happiness to be a train that just doesn't stop for you
Creer que la felicidad es un tren que simplemente no se detiene por ti

Commencer avec une fin en tête, j'ai pris une minute

Carton crushed

Everything was unfastened
Tout était détaché

Précipitation

Rush
Précipitation
Can't keep my focus
Je ne peux pas garder mon focus

Ma peau est ta peau
Vivid as a memory fading by the minute
Vif comme un souvenir qui s'estompe minute par minute

All I found was your flesh, your flesh
Tout ce que j'ai trouvé, c'est ta chair, ta chair
your blessed dismembered hands are sand
tes mains bénies démembrées sont du sable

Je veux être jeté contre le mur

I saw light in the buildings at night
Ho visto la luce negli edifici di notte

Credendo che la felicità sia un treno che semplicemente non si ferma per te
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Un dolore ma un amico che non finge
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Un dolore ma un amico che non finge
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Un dolore ma un amico che non finge
I saw light in the buildings at night
Ho visto la luce negli edifici di notte
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
Ho visto la luce nelle finestre mentre passavo
On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge
Sul fiume, sul ponte, sul bordo
On the side of your face at the bar
Sul lato del tuo viso al bar
It went dark, I saw light
È diventato buio, ho visto la luce
I saw light in the buildings at night
Ho visto la luce negli edifici di notte
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
Ho visto la luce nelle finestre mentre passavo
On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge
Sul fiume, sul ponte, sul bordo
On the side of your face at the bar
Sul lato del tuo viso al bar
It went dark, I saw light
È diventato buio, ho visto la luce
