The Crow & the Butterfly

Dave Bassett, Brent Smith

Lyrics Translation

I painted your room at midnight
So I'd know yesterday was over
I put all your books on the top shelf
Even the one with the four leaf clover
Man I'm getting older

I took all your pictures off the wall
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
And now I can barely breathe

Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you would slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

Your words still serenade me
And your lullaby's, they won't let me sleep
And I've never heard such a haunting melody
Oh it's killing me
You know I can barely breathe

Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you would slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you would slip away

Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you would slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

Just a little too late

I painted your room at midnight
Pintei o teu quarto à meia-noite
So I'd know yesterday was over
Para saber que ontem tinha acabado
I put all your books on the top shelf
Coloquei todos os teus livros na prateleira de cima
Even the one with the four leaf clover
Até mesmo aquele com o trevo de quatro folhas
Man I'm getting older
Caramba, estou ficando mais velho
I took all your pictures off the wall
Tirei todas as tuas fotos da parede
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
E as embrulhei num cobertor de jornal
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
Não durmo há o que parece ser um século
And now I can barely breathe
E agora mal consigo respirar
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Como o corvo perseguindo a borboleta
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dentes-de-leão perdidos no céu de verão
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quando você e eu estávamos tão altos quanto o espaço sideral
I never thought you would slip away
Nunca pensei que você iria escorregar
I guess I was just a little too late
Acho que cheguei um pouco tarde demais
Your words still serenade me
Suas palavras ainda me serenam
And your lullaby's, they won't let me sleep
E suas canções de ninar, elas não me deixam dormir
And I've never heard such a haunting melody
E eu nunca ouvi uma melodia tão assustadora
Oh it's killing me
Oh, está me matando
You know I can barely breathe
Você sabe que mal consigo respirar
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Como o corvo perseguindo a borboleta
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dentes-de-leão perdidos no céu de verão
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quando você e eu estávamos tão altos quanto o espaço sideral
I never thought you would slip away
Nunca pensei que você iria escorregar
I guess I was just a little too late
Acho que cheguei um pouco tarde demais
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Como o corvo perseguindo a borboleta
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dentes-de-leão perdidos no céu de verão
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quando você e eu estávamos tão altos quanto o espaço sideral
I never thought you would slip away
Nunca pensei que você iria escorregar
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Como o corvo perseguindo a borboleta
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dentes-de-leão perdidos no céu de verão
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quando você e eu estávamos tão altos quanto o espaço sideral
I never thought you would slip away
Nunca pensei que você iria escorregar
I guess I was just a little too late
Acho que cheguei um pouco tarde demais
Just a little too late
Apenas um pouco tarde demais
I painted your room at midnight
Pinté tu habitación a medianoche
So I'd know yesterday was over
Para saber que ayer había terminado
I put all your books on the top shelf
Puse todos tus libros en el estante superior
Even the one with the four leaf clover
Incluso el que tiene el trébol de cuatro hojas
Man I'm getting older
Hombre, estoy envejeciendo
I took all your pictures off the wall
Quité todas tus fotos de la pared
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
Y las envolví en una manta de periódico
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
No he dormido en lo que parece un siglo
And now I can barely breathe
Y ahora apenas puedo respirar
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Al igual que el cuervo persiguiendo la mariposa
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dientes de león perdidos en el cielo de verano
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Cuando tú y yo estábamos tan altos como el espacio exterior
I never thought you would slip away
Nunca pensé que te desvanecerías
I guess I was just a little too late
Supongo que llegué un poco tarde
Your words still serenade me
Tus palabras todavía me serenan
And your lullaby's, they won't let me sleep
Y tus canciones de cuna, no me dejan dormir
And I've never heard such a haunting melody
Y nunca he escuchado una melodía tan inquietante
Oh it's killing me
Oh, me está matando
You know I can barely breathe
Sabes que apenas puedo respirar
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Al igual que el cuervo persiguiendo la mariposa
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dientes de león perdidos en el cielo de verano
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Cuando tú y yo estábamos tan altos como el espacio exterior
I never thought you would slip away
Nunca pensé que te desvanecerías
I guess I was just a little too late
Supongo que llegué un poco tarde
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Al igual que el cuervo persiguiendo la mariposa
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dientes de león perdidos en el cielo de verano
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Cuando tú y yo estábamos tan altos como el espacio exterior
I never thought you would slip away
Nunca pensé que te desvanecerías
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Al igual que el cuervo persiguiendo la mariposa
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dientes de león perdidos en el cielo de verano
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Cuando tú y yo estábamos tan altos como el espacio exterior
I never thought you would slip away
Nunca pensé que te desvanecerías
I guess I was just a little too late
Supongo que llegué un poco tarde
Just a little too late
Solo un poco tarde
I painted your room at midnight
J'ai peint ta chambre à minuit
So I'd know yesterday was over
Pour savoir que hier était terminé
I put all your books on the top shelf
J'ai mis tous tes livres sur l'étagère du haut
Even the one with the four leaf clover
Même celui avec le trèfle à quatre feuilles
Man I'm getting older
Dieu, je vieillis
I took all your pictures off the wall
J'ai enlevé toutes tes photos du mur
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
Et je les ai enveloppées dans une couverture de journal
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
Je n'ai pas dormi depuis ce qui semble être un siècle
And now I can barely breathe
Et maintenant je peux à peine respirer
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Comme le corbeau qui poursuit le papillon
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Les pissenlits perdus dans le ciel d'été
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quand toi et moi étions aussi hauts que l'espace
I never thought you would slip away
Je n'ai jamais pensé que tu t'échapperais
I guess I was just a little too late
Je suppose que j'étais juste un peu en retard
Your words still serenade me
Tes mots me sérénadent encore
And your lullaby's, they won't let me sleep
Et tes berceuses, elles ne me laissent pas dormir
And I've never heard such a haunting melody
Et je n'ai jamais entendu une mélodie aussi hantante
Oh it's killing me
Oh ça me tue
You know I can barely breathe
Tu sais que je peux à peine respirer
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Comme le corbeau qui poursuit le papillon
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Les pissenlits perdus dans le ciel d'été
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quand toi et moi étions aussi hauts que l'espace
I never thought you would slip away
Je n'ai jamais pensé que tu t'échapperais
I guess I was just a little too late
Je suppose que j'étais juste un peu en retard
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Comme le corbeau qui poursuit le papillon
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Les pissenlits perdus dans le ciel d'été
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quand toi et moi étions aussi hauts que l'espace
I never thought you would slip away
Je n'ai jamais pensé que tu t'échapperais
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Comme le corbeau qui poursuit le papillon
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Les pissenlits perdus dans le ciel d'été
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quand toi et moi étions aussi hauts que l'espace
I never thought you would slip away
Je n'ai jamais pensé que tu t'échapperais
I guess I was just a little too late
Je suppose que j'étais juste un peu en retard
Just a little too late
Juste un peu en retard
I painted your room at midnight
Ich habe dein Zimmer um Mitternacht gestrichen
So I'd know yesterday was over
Damit ich wusste, dass gestern vorbei war
I put all your books on the top shelf
Ich habe all deine Bücher ins oberste Regal gestellt
Even the one with the four leaf clover
Sogar das mit dem vierblättrigen Kleeblatt
Man I'm getting older
Mann, ich werde älter
I took all your pictures off the wall
Ich habe all deine Bilder von der Wand genommen
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
Und sie in eine Zeitungsdecke gewickelt
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
Ich habe seit gefühlt einem Jahrhundert nicht geschlafen
And now I can barely breathe
Und jetzt kann ich kaum noch atmen
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Genau wie die Krähe, die den Schmetterling jagt
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Pusteblumen, verloren im Sommerhimmel
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Als du und ich so high waren wie der Weltraum
I never thought you would slip away
Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass du verschwinden würdest
I guess I was just a little too late
Ich war wohl einfach ein bisschen zu spät
Your words still serenade me
Deine Worte serenieren mich immer noch
And your lullaby's, they won't let me sleep
Und deine Schlaflieder lassen mich nicht schlafen
And I've never heard such a haunting melody
Und ich habe noch nie so eine gespenstische Melodie gehört
Oh it's killing me
Oh, es tötet mich
You know I can barely breathe
Du weißt, ich kann kaum noch atmen
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Genau wie die Krähe, die den Schmetterling jagt
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Pusteblumen, verloren im Sommerhimmel
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Als du und ich so high waren wie der Weltraum
I never thought you would slip away
Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass du verschwinden würdest
I guess I was just a little too late
Ich war wohl einfach ein bisschen zu spät
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Genau wie die Krähe, die den Schmetterling jagt
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Pusteblumen, verloren im Sommerhimmel
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Als du und ich so high waren wie der Weltraum
I never thought you would slip away
Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass du verschwinden würdest
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Genau wie die Krähe, die den Schmetterling jagt
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Pusteblumen, verloren im Sommerhimmel
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Als du und ich so high waren wie der Weltraum
I never thought you would slip away
Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass du verschwinden würdest
I guess I was just a little too late
Ich war wohl einfach ein bisschen zu spät
Just a little too late
Einfach ein bisschen zu spät
I painted your room at midnight
Ho dipinto la tua stanza a mezzanotte
So I'd know yesterday was over
Così saprei che ieri era finito
I put all your books on the top shelf
Ho messo tutti i tuoi libri sullo scaffale più alto
Even the one with the four leaf clover
Anche quello con il quadrifoglio
Man I'm getting older
Cavolo, sto invecchiando
I took all your pictures off the wall
Ho tolto tutte le tue foto dal muro
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
E le ho avvolte in una coperta di giornale
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
Non ho dormito in quello che sembra un secolo
And now I can barely breathe
E ora riesco a malapena a respirare
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Proprio come il corvo che insegue la farfalla
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
I soffioni persi nel cielo estivo
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quando tu ed io eravamo alti come lo spazio esterno
I never thought you would slip away
Non ho mai pensato che te ne saresti andata
I guess I was just a little too late
Immagino di essere stato solo un po' troppo in ritardo
Your words still serenade me
Le tue parole mi serenano ancora
And your lullaby's, they won't let me sleep
E le tue ninne nanne, non mi lasciano dormire
And I've never heard such a haunting melody
E non ho mai sentito una melodia così inquietante
Oh it's killing me
Oh mi sta uccidendo
You know I can barely breathe
Sai che riesco a malapena a respirare
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Proprio come il corvo che insegue la farfalla
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
I soffioni persi nel cielo estivo
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quando tu ed io eravamo alti come lo spazio esterno
I never thought you would slip away
Non ho mai pensato che te ne saresti andata
I guess I was just a little too late
Immagino di essere stato solo un po' troppo in ritardo
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Proprio come il corvo che insegue la farfalla
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
I soffioni persi nel cielo estivo
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quando tu ed io eravamo alti come lo spazio esterno
I never thought you would slip away
Non ho mai pensato che te ne saresti andata
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Proprio come il corvo che insegue la farfalla
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
I soffioni persi nel cielo estivo
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Quando tu ed io eravamo alti come lo spazio esterno
I never thought you would slip away
Non ho mai pensato che te ne saresti andata
I guess I was just a little too late
Immagino di essere stato solo un po' troppo in ritardo
Just a little too late
Solo un po' troppo in ritardo
I painted your room at midnight
Saya mengecat kamarmu tengah malam
So I'd know yesterday was over
Agar aku tahu kemarin telah berakhir
I put all your books on the top shelf
Saya menaruh semua buku Anda di rak paling atas
Even the one with the four leaf clover
Bahkan yang ada semanggi empat daunnya
Man I'm getting older
Wah, saya semakin tua
I took all your pictures off the wall
Saya mengambil semua foto Anda dari dinding
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
Dan saya bungkus dengan koran
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
Saya tidak tidur yang sepertinya sudah berabad-abad
And now I can barely breathe
Dan sekarang saya hampir tidak bisa bernapas
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Seperti gagak yang mengejar kupu-kupu
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dandelion yang hilang di langit musim panas
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Ketika kamu dan aku sedang mabuk di luar angkasa
I never thought you would slip away
Saya tidak pernah berpikir kamu akan pergi
I guess I was just a little too late
Sepertinya saya terlambat sedikit
Your words still serenade me
Kata-kata Anda masih menyanyikan saya
And your lullaby's, they won't let me sleep
Dan lagu pengantar tidur Anda, mereka tidak membiarkan saya tidur
And I've never heard such a haunting melody
Dan saya belum pernah mendengar melodi yang begitu menghantui
Oh it's killing me
Oh, itu membunuh saya
You know I can barely breathe
Anda tahu saya hampir tidak bisa bernapas
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Seperti gagak yang mengejar kupu-kupu
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dandelion yang hilang di langit musim panas
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Ketika kamu dan aku sedang mabuk di luar angkasa
I never thought you would slip away
Saya tidak pernah berpikir kamu akan pergi
I guess I was just a little too late
Sepertinya saya terlambat sedikit
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Seperti gagak yang mengejar kupu-kupu
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dandelion yang hilang di langit musim panas
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Ketika kamu dan aku sedang mabuk di luar angkasa
I never thought you would slip away
Saya tidak pernah berpikir kamu akan pergi
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Seperti gagak yang mengejar kupu-kupu
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
Dandelion yang hilang di langit musim panas
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
Ketika kamu dan aku sedang mabuk di luar angkasa
I never thought you would slip away
Saya tidak pernah berpikir kamu akan pergi
I guess I was just a little too late
Sepertinya saya terlambat sedikit
Just a little too late
Hanya sedikit terlambat
I painted your room at midnight
ฉันทาสีห้องของคุณในเวลาเที่ยงคืน
So I'd know yesterday was over
เพื่อให้ฉันรู้ว่าเมื่อวานเสร็จสิ้นแล้ว
I put all your books on the top shelf
ฉันวางหนังสือของคุณทั้งหมดไว้บนชั้นวางสูงสุด
Even the one with the four leaf clover
แม้แต่หนังสือที่มีใบโคลเวอร์สี่ใบ
Man I'm getting older
ครั้นฉันกำลังแก่ขึ้น
I took all your pictures off the wall
ฉันถอดรูปภาพของคุณทั้งหมดออกจากผนัง
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
และฉันห่อมันด้วยหนังสือพิมพ์เป็นผ้าห่ม
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
ฉันไม่ได้นอนมานานจนเหมือนศตวรรษ
And now I can barely breathe
และตอนนี้ฉันหายใจได้ยาก
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
เหมือนกาภู่ที่ไล่ตามผีเสื้อ
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
ดอกทานตะวันที่หายไปในท้องฟ้าฤดูร้อน
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
เมื่อคุณและฉันกำลังปล่อยตัวให้สูงเหมือนอวกาศ
I never thought you would slip away
ฉันไม่เคยคิดว่าคุณจะหลุดหาย
I guess I was just a little too late
ฉันคิดว่าฉันมาสายเกินไป
Your words still serenade me
คำพูดของคุณยังร้องเพลงสำหรับฉัน
And your lullaby's, they won't let me sleep
และเพลงสาวน้อยของคุณไม่ทำให้ฉันหลับ
And I've never heard such a haunting melody
และฉันไม่เคยได้ยินเพลงที่น่าหวาดกลัวเท่านี้
Oh it's killing me
โอ้ มันทำให้ฉันตาย
You know I can barely breathe
คุณรู้ว่าฉันหายใจได้ยาก
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
เหมือนกาภู่ที่ไล่ตามผีเสื้อ
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
ดอกทานตะวันที่หายไปในท้องฟ้าฤดูร้อน
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
เมื่อคุณและฉันกำลังปล่อยตัวให้สูงเหมือนอวกาศ
I never thought you would slip away
ฉันไม่เคยคิดว่าคุณจะหลุดหาย
I guess I was just a little too late
ฉันคิดว่าฉันมาสายเกินไป
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
เหมือนกาภู่ที่ไล่ตามผีเสื้อ
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
ดอกทานตะวันที่หายไปในท้องฟ้าฤดูร้อน
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
เมื่อคุณและฉันกำลังปล่อยตัวให้สูงเหมือนอวกาศ
I never thought you would slip away
ฉันไม่เคยคิดว่าคุณจะหลุดหาย
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
เหมือนกาภู่ที่ไล่ตามผีเสื้อ
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
ดอกทานตะวันที่หายไปในท้องฟ้าฤดูร้อน
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
เมื่อคุณและฉันกำลังปล่อยตัวให้สูงเหมือนอวกาศ
I never thought you would slip away
ฉันไม่เคยคิดว่าคุณจะหลุดหาย
I guess I was just a little too late
ฉันคิดว่าฉันมาสายเกินไป
Just a little too late
มาสายเกินไปเล็กน้อย
I painted your room at midnight
我在午夜时分为你的房间涂上了颜色
So I'd know yesterday was over
这样我就知道昨天已经过去
I put all your books on the top shelf
我把你所有的书都放在了顶层的书架上
Even the one with the four leaf clover
甚至那本有四叶草的书
Man I'm getting older
天啊,我正在变老
I took all your pictures off the wall
我把墙上所有你的照片都取了下来
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
然后我用报纸把它们包起来
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
我好像已经有一个世纪没有睡觉了
And now I can barely breathe
现在我几乎无法呼吸
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
就像乌鸦追逐蝴蝶
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
蒲公英在夏天的天空中迷失
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
当你和我像在外太空一样飘得很高
I never thought you would slip away
我从未想过你会悄然离去
I guess I was just a little too late
我想我只是来得有点太晚
Your words still serenade me
你的话语仍在为我唱歌
And your lullaby's, they won't let me sleep
你的摇篮曲,它们不让我睡觉
And I've never heard such a haunting melody
我从未听过如此令人心魄不宁的旋律
Oh it's killing me
哦,它在杀死我
You know I can barely breathe
你知道我几乎无法呼吸
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
就像乌鸦追逐蝴蝶
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
蒲公英在夏天的天空中迷失
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
当你和我像在外太空一样飘得很高
I never thought you would slip away
我从未想过你会悄然离去
I guess I was just a little too late
我想我只是来得有点太晚
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
就像乌鸦追逐蝴蝶

When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
当你和我像在外太空一样飘得很高
I never thought you would slip away
我从未想过你会悄然离去
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
就像乌鸦追逐蝴蝶
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
蒲公英在夏天的天空中迷失
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
当你和我像在外太空一样飘得很高
I never thought you would slip away
我从未想过你会悄然离去
I guess I was just a little too late
我想我只是来得有点太晚
Just a little too late
只是来得有点太晚
