Flotsam and Jetsam

JAMES EDWARDS, PETER GABRIEL

Lyrics Translation

Doing nothing stuck in the mud
Just pumping the blood
The water level's getting low
Something ugly is going to show

If I could only touch you
I guess you'd be alarmed
If only I could touch you
I don't mean you no harm

If only I could touch you
like the wind can touch the sail
If only I could touch you, darling
now that words have failed
Oh, Flotsam still afloat
Oh, Jetsam thrown out of the boat

Oh love, my love
nothing here is what it seems

We both know it
Christ! you show it
Oh, oh my love

[Intro]
En el barro, no hacemos nada
Bombeando la sangre
El nivel de agua bajando está
Algo feo se va a mostrar

[Puente]
Si solo pudiese tocarte
Tal vez te alarmarías
Si solo pudiese tocarte
No quiero herirte
Si solo pudiese tocarte
Como el viento a la vela
Si solo pudiese tocarte, nena
Ya que fallaron las palabras

[Outro]
Oh, el pecio sigue flotando
Oh, el echazón salió del bote
Y oh amor, mi amor, nada es lo que parece
Los dos sabеmos
Dios, lo muestras
Oh, oh amor
