No prizes
Take your shot for the love of the game
I used to make plans, now I make decisions
I'd always admired his nerve
As sure as the crown on his shirt
One hand in his waistband, he tells me to serve
Credit ratings, savings
Loans, down payments towards his investments
"What can I tell you?" He says
"When you have kids, it kind of shifts your perspectives
If I could do it all again, no question
I could list ten things right now
That I should have done different
But where does that get me?" He blows out his smoke
"The game's not done yet," he zips up his coat
We stand at the lights before crossing the road
He says, "as long as there's life
There's still so far to go"
Mmm, I just wanna keep climbing
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
Ooh, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
She's got her hat pulled down, full camo suit
Sitting on the bass amp, strapping a zoot
I'm telling you, it's mad
I read one interview with this soldier in Iran
It's a government cover-up
She's looking for the lighter but the lighter's in her hand
I'm just really trying to make a couple grand
She plays with the chain round her neck, nods deeply
Not even in this music thing, it's beneath me
I start my own company, run my own business
Print my own money, I'll serve my own interests
I'm telling you, knowledge is key, all my life
People took my ideas, made their names off of me
But trust this
The more I look, the more I see
There's so much more I'm going to be
Mmm, I just wanna keep climbing
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
Ooh, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
They've seen nothing but dead ends
And blockages and stopped clocks
Misread prophecies, and misheard promises
They've got to keep three jobs ticking
They can't get a minute
But they won't be defeated, they've got to live
What are your dreams when they become ghosts in your ears
Telling you things you just don't want to hear?
Like, "you're too late, you missed your chance"
The last thing they want is to be bitter
Like they knew a few to be when they were younger
And they swore, "never me, never that"
But the time that's behind them, they can't get it back
"I used to be joyful," they tell me
"A real free-spirit, I thought music would protect me
I used to sing in all these bars and I used to busk
But never caught a break, my lucky day never showed up
I never made it to the lights
And now it's like my best days have gone by
And I am scared that it's all too late
Is it all too late?"
They walk fast and I can't keep pace
They turn back, I watch the past cross their face
And they say, "If there's still time on the clock
There's still choices to make"
Mmm, I just wanna keep climbing
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
Ooh, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
Mmm, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing
And I don't know why I don't mind, yeah

I used to make plans, now I make decisions
Eu costumava fazer planos, agora tomo decisões
I'd always admired his nerve
Eu sempre admirei a coragem dele
As sure as the crown on his shirt
Tão certo quanto a coroa em sua camisa
One hand in his waistband, he tells me to serve
Uma mão na cintura, ele me diz para servir
Credit ratings, savings
Classificações de crédito, economias
Loans, down payments towards his investments
Empréstimos, pagamentos iniciais para seus investimentos
"What can I tell you?" He says
"O que posso te dizer?" Ele diz
"When you have kids, it kind of shifts your perspectives
"Quando você tem filhos, meio que muda suas perspectivas
If I could do it all again, no question
Se eu pudesse fazer tudo de novo, sem dúvida
I could list ten things right now
Eu poderia listar dez coisas agora
That I should have done different
Que eu deveria ter feito diferente
But where does that get me?" He blows out his smoke
Mas onde isso me leva?" Ele solta a fumaça
"The game's not done yet," he zips up his coat
"O jogo ainda não acabou", ele fecha o casaco
We stand at the lights before crossing the road
Paramos no semáforo antes de atravessar a rua
He says, "as long as there's life
Ele diz, "enquanto houver vida
There's still so far to go"
Ainda há muito caminho a percorrer"
Mmm, I just wanna keep climbing
Hmm, eu só quero continuar subindo
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
E eu não sei por que não me importo, não me importo
Ooh, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing
Ooh, eu só quero continuar subindo, subindo
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
E eu não sei por que não me importo, não me importo
She's got her hat pulled down, full camo suit
Ela tem o chapéu abaixado, roupa de camuflagem completa
Sitting on the bass amp, strapping a zoot
Sentada no amplificador de baixo, enrolando um baseado
I'm telling you, it's mad
Estou te dizendo, é loucura
I read one interview with this soldier in Iran
Li uma entrevista com este soldado no Irã
It's a government cover-up
É uma cobertura do governo
She's looking for the lighter but the lighter's in her hand
Ela está procurando o isqueiro, mas o isqueiro está em sua mão
I'm just really trying to make a couple grand
Estou realmente tentando ganhar alguns milhares
She plays with the chain round her neck, nods deeply
Ela brinca com a corrente em seu pescoço, acena profundamente
Not even in this music thing, it's beneath me
Nem mesmo nessa coisa de música, está abaixo de mim
I start my own company, run my own business
Começo minha própria empresa, administro meu próprio negócio
Print my own money, I'll serve my own interests
Imprimo meu próprio dinheiro, atendo meus próprios interesses
I'm telling you, knowledge is key, all my life
Estou te dizendo, conhecimento é a chave, toda a minha vida
People took my ideas, made their names off of me
As pessoas pegaram minhas ideias, fizeram seus nomes a partir de mim
But trust this
Mas confie nisso
The more I look, the more I see
Quanto mais eu olho, mais eu vejo
There's so much more I'm going to be
Há muito mais que vou ser
Mmm, I just wanna keep climbing
Hmm, eu só quero continuar subindo
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
E eu não sei por que não me importo, não me importo
Ooh, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing
Ooh, eu só quero continuar subindo, subindo
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
E eu não sei por que não me importo, não me importo
They've seen nothing but dead ends
Eles só viram becos sem saída
And blockages and stopped clocks
E bloqueios e relógios parados
Misread prophecies, and misheard promises
Profecias mal interpretadas, e promessas mal ouvidas
They've got to keep three jobs ticking
Eles têm que manter três empregos funcionando
They can't get a minute
Eles não conseguem um minuto
But they won't be defeated, they've got to live
Mas eles não serão derrotados, eles têm que viver
What are your dreams when they become ghosts in your ears
Quais são seus sonhos quando se tornam fantasmas em seus ouvidos
Telling you things you just don't want to hear?
Dizendo coisas que você simplesmente não quer ouvir?
Like, "you're too late, you missed your chance"
Como, "você está atrasado, perdeu sua chance"
The last thing they want is to be bitter
A última coisa que eles querem é ser amargos
Like they knew a few to be when they were younger
Como eles sabiam que alguns seriam quando eram mais jovens
And they swore, "never me, never that"
E eles juraram, "nunca eu, nunca isso"
But the time that's behind them, they can't get it back
Mas o tempo que está atrás deles, eles não podem recuperar
"I used to be joyful," they tell me
"Eu costumava ser alegre", eles me dizem
"A real free-spirit, I thought music would protect me
"Um verdadeiro espírito livre, eu pensei que a música me protegeria
I used to sing in all these bars and I used to busk
Eu costumava cantar em todos esses bares e costumava tocar na rua
But never caught a break, my lucky day never showed up
Mas nunca tive uma chance, meu dia de sorte nunca apareceu
I never made it to the lights
Eu nunca cheguei às luzes
And now it's like my best days have gone by
E agora parece que meus melhores dias já passaram
And I am scared that it's all too late
E eu tenho medo de que seja tarde demais
Is it all too late?"
É tarde demais?"
They walk fast and I can't keep pace
Eles andam rápido e eu não consigo acompanhar
They turn back, I watch the past cross their face
Eles se viram, eu vejo o passado cruzar seus rostos
And they say, "If there's still time on the clock
E eles dizem, "Se ainda há tempo no relógio
There's still choices to make"
Ainda há escolhas a fazer"
Mmm, I just wanna keep climbing

And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
Und ich weiß nicht, warum es mir nichts ausmacht, nichts ausmacht
Mmm, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing
Mmm, ich will einfach weiterklettern, klettern

I'd always admired his nerve

As sure as the crown on his shirt
Sicuro come la corona sulla sua camicia
One hand in his waistband, he tells me to serve

Credit ratings, savings
Rating di credito, risparmi
Loans, down payments towards his investments

"When you have kids, it kind of shifts your perspectives

I could list ten things right now

That I should have done different

But where does that get me?" He blows out his smoke
Ma dove mi porta questo?" Soffia fuori il suo fumo
"The game's not done yet," he zips up his coat
"Il gioco non è ancora finito," si chiude il cappotto
We stand at the lights before crossing the road
Stiamo ai semafori prima di attraversare la strada
He says, "as long as there's life

There's still so far to go"

She's looking for the lighter but the lighter's in her hand

I'm just really trying to make a couple grand

She plays with the chain round her neck, nods deeply

Not even in this music thing, it's beneath me

They've seen nothing but dead ends

And blockages and stopped clocks
E ostacoli e orologi fermi
Misread prophecies, and misheard promises

Devono mantenere tre lavori in corso
They can't get a minute
Non riescono a trovare un minuto
But they won't be defeated, they've got to live
Ma non saranno sconfitti, devono vivere
What are your dreams when they become ghosts in your ears
Quali sono i tuoi sogni quando diventano fantasmi nelle tue orecchie
Telling you things you just don't want to hear?
Dicendoti cose che non vuoi sentire?
Like, "you're too late, you missed your chance"
Come, "sei troppo tardi, hai perso la tua occasione"
The last thing they want is to be bitter
L'ultima cosa che vogliono è essere amareggiati
Like they knew a few to be when they were younger
Come sapevano che alcuni sarebbero stati quando erano più giovani
And they swore, "never me, never that"
E hanno giurato, "mai io, mai quello"
But the time that's behind them, they can't get it back

And now it's like my best days have gone by

And I am scared that it's all too late

They walk fast and I can't keep pace

They turn back, I watch the past cross their face
Si girano, guardo il passato attraversare il loro volto
And they say, "If there's still time on the clock
E dicono, "Se c'è ancora tempo sull'orologio
There's still choices to make"
Ci sono ancora scelte da fare"
Mmm, I just wanna keep climbing
Mmm, voglio solo continuare a salire
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
E non so perché non mi dispiace, non mi dispiace
Ooh, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing
Ooh, voglio solo continuare a salire, salire
And I don't know why I don't mind, don't mind
E non so perché non mi dispiace, non mi dispiace
Mmm, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing
Mmm, voglio solo continuare a salire, salire
And I don't know why I don't mind, yeah
