Lyrics Translation

Fresh white flowers and a new tea light
Nine cups of water, still water
Soon I'll see your face
Don't know why I ever thought you were far away
I shoulda known better

If I set a flame and I call your name
I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
We can share a meal your way
And I'll play you the songs that you used to play

So I put you on the altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Laid it out for ya
Thought I felt you before
But now you're closer
Closer, whoa
So I put you on the altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Laid it out for ya
Thought I felt you before
But now you're closer
Closer, whoa, whoa

Holding on to things you told me
Holding on to dreams you showed me
Holding on to anything from you
That you've been leaving here
Now I believe I swear
I can smell your perfume
Picking up your signal like a phone booth
Keeping you alive and I do it 'cause I want to

If I set a flame and I call your name
I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
We can share a meal your way
And I'll play you the songs that you used to play

So I put you on the altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Laid it out for ya
Thought I felt you before
But now you're closer
Closer, whoa
So I put you on the altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Laid it out for ya
Thought I felt you before
But now you're closer (now you're closer)
Closer, whoa, whoa (closer)

Fresh white flowers and a new tea light
Flores brancas frescas e uma nova luz de chá
Nine cups of water, still water
Nove copos de água, água potável
Soon I'll see your face
Logo verei seu rosto
Don't know why I ever thought you were far away
Não sei por que eu sempre pensei que você estava longe
I shoulda known better
Eu devia ter pensado diferente
If I set a flame and I call your name
Se eu acender uma chama e chamar seu nome
I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
Vou preparar um prato para você, podemos ir jantar
We can share a meal your way
Podemos dividir um jantar do seu jeito
And I'll play you the songs that you used to play
E eu vou tocar para você as músicas que você costumava tocar
So I put you on the altar
Então eu te coloquei no altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Fique só um pouco mais, uau
Laid it out for ya
Preparei tudo para você
Thought I felt you before
Achei que tinha sentido você antes
But now you're closer
Mas agora você está mais perto
Closer, whoa
Mais perto, uau
So I put you on the altar
Então eu te coloquei no altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Fique só um pouco mais, uau
Laid it out for ya
Preparei tudo para você
Thought I felt you before
Achei que tinha sentido você antes
But now you're closer
Mas agora você está mais perto
Closer, whoa, whoa
Mais perto, uau, uau
Holding on to things you told me
Confiando nas coisas que você me disse
Holding on to dreams you showed me
Me apegando aos sonhos que você me mostrou
Holding on to anything from you
Me agarrando a qualquer coisa vinda de você
That you've been leaving here
Que você tem deixado aqui
Now I believe I swear
Agora eu acredito, eu juro
I can smell your perfume
Eu posso sentir seu perfume
Picking up your signal like a phone booth
Captando seu sinal como uma cabine telefônica
Keeping you alive and I do it 'cause I want to
Mantendo você vivo e eu faço isso porque eu quero
If I set a flame and I call your name
Se eu acender uma chama e chamar seu nome
I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
Vou preparar um prato para você, podemos ir jantar
We can share a meal your way
Podemos dividir um jantar do seu jeito
And I'll play you the songs that you used to play
E eu vou tocar para você as músicas que você costumava tocar
So I put you on the altar
Então eu te coloquei no altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Fique só um pouco mais, uau
Laid it out for ya
Preparei tudo para você
Thought I felt you before
Achei que tinha sentido você antes
But now you're closer
Mas agora você está mais perto
Closer, whoa
Mais perto, uau
So I put you on the altar
Então eu te coloquei no altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Fique só um pouco mais, uau
Laid it out for ya
Preparei tudo para você
Thought I felt you before
Achei que tinha sentido você antes
But now you're closer (now you're closer)
Mas agora você está mais perto (agora você está mais perto)
Closer, whoa, whoa (closer)
Mais perto, uau, uau (mais perto)
Fresh white flowers and a new tea light
Flores blancas frescas y una nueva vela de té
Nine cups of water, still water
Nueve tazas de agua, agua quieta
Soon I'll see your face
Pronto veré tu rostro
Don't know why I ever thought you were far away
No sé por qué alguna vez pensé que estabas lejos
I shoulda known better
Debería haberlo sabido mejor
If I set a flame and I call your name
Si enciendo una llama y llamo tu nombre
I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
Te prepararé un plato, podemos ir a cenar
We can share a meal your way
Podemos compartir una comida a tu manera
And I'll play you the songs that you used to play
Y te tocaré las canciones que solías tocar
So I put you on the altar
Así que te puse en el altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Quédate solo un poco más, vaya
Laid it out for ya
Lo dispuse todo para ti
Thought I felt you before
Pensé que te había sentido antes
But now you're closer
Pero ahora estás más cerca
Closer, whoa
Más cerca, vaya
So I put you on the altar
Así que te puse en el altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Quédate solo un poco más, vaya
Laid it out for ya
Lo dispuse todo para ti
Thought I felt you before
Pensé que te había sentido antes
But now you're closer
Pero ahora estás más cerca
Closer, whoa, whoa
Más cerca, vaya, vaya
Holding on to things you told me
Aferrándome a las cosas que me dijiste
Holding on to dreams you showed me
Aferrándome a los sueños que me mostraste
Holding on to anything from you
Aferrándome a cualquier cosa tuya
That you've been leaving here
Que has estado dejando aquí
Now I believe I swear
Ahora creo, lo juro
I can smell your perfume
Puedo oler tu perfume
Picking up your signal like a phone booth
Recogiendo tu señal como una cabina telefónica
Keeping you alive and I do it 'cause I want to
Manteniéndote vivo y lo hago porque quiero
If I set a flame and I call your name
Si enciendo una llama y llamo tu nombre
I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
