Burning Down The House

David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison

Lyrics Translation

Ah
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool, babies
Strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight, wait 'til the party's over
Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Well, here's your ticket, pack your bag, it's time for jumping overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fighting fire with fire, ah

All wet, here, you might need a raincoat
Shake-down, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty-five degrees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place, sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work say, "Baby, what did you expect?"
Gonna burst into flames, ah

Burning down the house

My house is out of the ordinary
That's right, don't wanna hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing, yet
Everything's stuck together
Well, I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire, ah

Burning down the house
Burning down the house

Ah
Ah
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cuidado, podrías conseguir lo que buscas
Cool, babies
Genial, bebés
Strange but not a stranger
Extraño pero no un extraño
I'm an ordinary guy
Soy un tipo ordinario
Burning down the house
Quemando la casa
Hold tight, wait 'til the party's over
Agárrate fuerte, espera hasta que termine la fiesta
Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather
Agárrate fuerte, nos espera un clima desagradable
There has got to be a way
Tiene que haber una manera
Burning down the house
Quemando la casa
Well, here's your ticket, pack your bag, it's time for jumping overboard
Bueno, aquí está tu boleto, empaca tu maleta, es hora de saltar por la borda
The transportation is here
El transporte está aquí
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Lo suficientemente cerca pero no demasiado lejos, tal vez sepas dónde estás
Fighting fire with fire, ah
Combatiendo el fuego con fuego, ah
All wet, here, you might need a raincoat
Todo mojado, aquí, podrías necesitar un impermeable
Shake-down, dreams walking in broad daylight
Sacudida, sueños caminando a plena luz del día
Three hundred sixty-five degrees
Trescientos sesenta y cinco grados
Burning down the house
Quemando la casa
It was once upon a place, sometimes I listen to myself
Era una vez en un lugar, a veces me escucho a mí misma
Gonna come in first place
Voy a llegar en primer lugar
People on their way to work say, "Baby, what did you expect?"
Las personas en su camino al trabajo dicen: "Bebé, ¿qué esperabas?"
Gonna burst into flames, ah
Voy a estallar en llamas, ah
Burning down the house
Quemando la casa
My house is out of the ordinary
Mi casa es fuera de lo ordinario
That's right, don't wanna hurt nobody
Así es, no quiero lastimar a nadie
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Algunas cosas seguro pueden hacerme tropezar
Burning down the house
Quemando la casa
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing, yet
No hay medios visibles de apoyo y aún no has visto nada
Everything's stuck together
Todo está pegado
Well, I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Bueno, no sé qué esperas mirando fijamente al televisor
Fighting fire with fire, ah
Combatiendo el fuego con fuego, ah
Burning down the house
Quemando la casa
Burning down the house
Quemando la casa
