How's the Heart?

Tuomas Holopainen

Lyrics Translation

We see a mother with no child
We meet a stranger poor, exiled
How's the heart while it still beats?
Asks a no-one
Another John Doe

Sorrow hides well in your shell
A fellow man with hurt to spare
Dear one
Here I am to share the fear
An act of kindness
Without an Amen

How's the heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come in, the fire's warm
Burn the rope and dance some more

We met where the cliff greets the sea
Shared a story, took the leap
Rose up rooted, hid a note
You know where
You've been there

Now there's one who came from me
A child of light, another tale
Dear one
Night will come but not to stay
Oh why?
The answer's in the

How's the heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come in, the fire's warm
Burn the rope and dance some more

Fair winds my love
Fly towards the calm
Fly utterly lost
Towards a beating heart, a beating heart

How is that heart
Underneath the silence?
How is the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm

How is that heart
Underneath the silence?
How is the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm

How is that heart
Underneath the silence?
How is the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in

How is that heart
Underneath the silence?
How is the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm
Dull the blade and dance some more

How is that heart
How is the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm
Dull the blade and dance some more

How is that heart
Underneath the silence?
How is the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm
Burn the rope and dance some more

We see a mother with no child
Vemos uma mãe sem filho
We meet a stranger poor, exiled
Encontramos um estranho pobre, exilado
How's the heart while it still beats?
Como está o coração enquanto ainda bate?
Asks a no-one
Pergunta um ninguém
Another John Doe
Outro João Ninguém
Sorrow hides well in your shell
A tristeza se esconde bem em sua concha
A fellow man with hurt to spare
Um companheiro com dor para poupar
Dear one
Querido
Here I am to share the fear
Aqui estou para compartilhar o medo
An act of kindness
Um ato de bondade
Without an Amen
Sem um Amém
How's the heart
Como está o coração
Underneath the silence?
Por baixo do silêncio?
How's the one
Como está o único
Drowning in the mire?
Afogando-se no lamaçal?
Let us sound a human paean
Vamos entoar um hino humano
Come in, the fire's warm
Entre, o fogo está quente
Burn the rope and dance some more
Queime a corda e dance mais
We met where the cliff greets the sea
Nos encontramos onde o penhasco encontra o mar
Shared a story, took the leap
Compartilhamos uma história, demos o salto
Rose up rooted, hid a note
Levantamos enraizados, escondemos uma nota
You know where
Você sabe onde
You've been there
Você esteve lá
Now there's one who came from me
Agora há um que veio de mim
A child of light, another tale
Uma criança de luz, outra história
Dear one
Querido
Night will come but not to stay
A noite virá, mas não para ficar
Oh why?
Oh por quê?
The answer's in the
A resposta está no
How's the heart
Como está o coração
Underneath the silence?
Por baixo do silêncio?
How's the one
Como está o único

Come in, the fire's warm
Entre, o fogo está quente
Burn the rope and dance some more
Queime a corda e dance mais
Fair winds my love
Bons ventos meu amor
Fly towards the calm
Voe em direção à calma
Fly utterly lost
Voe completamente perdido
Towards a beating heart, a beating heart
Em direção a um coração batendo, um coração batendo
How is that heart
Como está aquele coração
Underneath the silence?
Por baixo do silêncio?
How is the one
Como está o único
Drowning in the mire?
Afogando-se no lamaçal?
Let us sound a human paean
