Concerning the UFO sighting near Highland, Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

Lyrics Translation

When the revenant came down
We couldn't imagine what it was
In the spirit of three stars
The alien thing that took its form

Then to Lebanon, oh, God
The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
(Oh history involved itself)
Mysterious shade that took its form (or what it was)
Incarnation, three stars
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes

When the revenant came down
Quando o revenante desceu
We couldn't imagine what it was
Não conseguíamos imaginar o que era
In the spirit of three stars
No espírito de três estrelas
The alien thing that took its form
A coisa alienígena que assumiu sua forma
Then to Lebanon, oh, God
Então para o Líbano, oh, Deus
The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
O piscar à noite, as sirenes crescem e crescem
(Oh history involved itself)
(Oh história envolveu-se)
Mysterious shade that took its form (or what it was)
Sombra misteriosa que assumiu sua forma (ou o que era)
Incarnation, three stars
Encarnação, três estrelas
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes
Entregando sinais e limpando seus olhos de poeira
When the revenant came down
Cuando el revenant descendió
We couldn't imagine what it was
No podíamos imaginar lo que era
In the spirit of three stars
En el espíritu de tres estrellas
The alien thing that took its form
La cosa alienígena que tomó su forma
Then to Lebanon, oh, God
Luego a Líbano, oh, Dios
The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
El destello en la noche, las sirenas crecen y crecen
(Oh history involved itself)
(Oh, la historia se involucró)
Mysterious shade that took its form (or what it was)
Sombra misteriosa que tomó su forma (o lo que era)
Incarnation, three stars
Encarnación, tres estrellas
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes
Entregando señales y sacudiendo el polvo de sus ojos
When the revenant came down
Quand le revenant est descendu
We couldn't imagine what it was
Nous ne pouvions imaginer ce que c'était
In the spirit of three stars
Dans l'esprit de trois étoiles
The alien thing that took its form
La chose étrangère qui a pris sa forme
Then to Lebanon, oh, God
Puis au Liban, oh, Dieu
The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
Les éclairs la nuit, les sirènes grandissent et grandissent
(Oh history involved itself)
(Oh l'histoire s'est impliquée)
Mysterious shade that took its form (or what it was)
Ombre mystérieuse qui a pris sa forme (ou ce qu'elle était)
Incarnation, three stars
Incarnation, trois étoiles
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes
Livrant des signes et dépoussiérant de leurs yeux
When the revenant came down
Als der Wiedergänger herabkam
We couldn't imagine what it was
Wir konnten uns nicht vorstellen, was es war
In the spirit of three stars
Im Geiste von drei Sternen
The alien thing that took its form
Das fremde Ding, das seine Form annahm
Then to Lebanon, oh, God
Dann nach Libanon, oh, Gott
The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
Das Aufblitzen in der Nacht, die Sirenen werden immer lauter
(Oh history involved itself)
(Oh, die Geschichte mischte sich ein)
Mysterious shade that took its form (or what it was)
Mysteriöser Schatten, der seine Form annahm (oder was es war)
Incarnation, three stars
Inkarnation, drei Sterne
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes
Liefern Zeichen und Staub von ihren Augen
When the revenant came down
Quando il revenant scese
We couldn't imagine what it was
Non potevamo immaginare cosa fosse
In the spirit of three stars
Nello spirito di tre stelle
The alien thing that took its form
La cosa aliena che prese la sua forma
Then to Lebanon, oh, God
Poi in Libano, oh, Dio
The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
Il lampeggiare di notte, le sirene crescono e crescono
(Oh history involved itself)
(Oh la storia si è coinvolta)
Mysterious shade that took its form (or what it was)
Ombra misteriosa che prese la sua forma (o cosa fosse)
Incarnation, three stars
Incarnazione, tre stelle
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes
Consegna segni e spolvera dai loro occhi
When the revenant came down
Ketika hantu itu turun
We couldn't imagine what it was
Kami tidak bisa membayangkan apa itu
In the spirit of three stars
Dalam semangat tiga bintang
The alien thing that took its form
Hal asing yang mengambil bentuknya
Then to Lebanon, oh, God
Kemudian ke Lebanon, oh, Tuhan
The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
Kedipan di malam hari, sirine bertambah dan bertambah
(Oh history involved itself)
(Oh sejarah terlibat)
Mysterious shade that took its form (or what it was)
Bayangan misterius yang mengambil bentuknya (atau apa itu)
Incarnation, three stars
Inkarnasi, tiga bintang
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes
Menyampaikan tanda dan debu dari mata mereka
When the revenant came down
เมื่อผีคืนชีพลงมา
We couldn't imagine what it was
เราไม่สามารถจินตนาการว่ามันคืออะไร
In the spirit of three stars
ในจิตวิญญาณของสามดวงดาว
The alien thing that took its form
สิ่งมีชีวิตจากต่างดาวที่เปลี่ยนรูปร่างของมัน
Then to Lebanon, oh, God
แล้วไปยังเลบานอน, โอ้, พระเจ้า
The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
การกระพริบของไฟในตอนกลางคืน, สัญญาณเตือนภัยเพิ่มขึ้นและเพิ่มขึ้น
(Oh history involved itself)
(โอ้ ประวัติศาสตร์ได้เข้ามามีส่วนร่วม)
Mysterious shade that took its form (or what it was)
เงาลึกลับที่เปลี่ยนรูปร่างของมัน (หรือสิ่งที่มันเป็น)
Incarnation, three stars
การรับรูป, สามดวงดาว
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes
ส่งสัญญาณและทำความสะอาดฝุ่นจากตาของพวกเขา
When the revenant came down
当亡灵降临
We couldn't imagine what it was
我们无法想象它是什么
In the spirit of three stars
在三星的精神中
The alien thing that took its form
那个采取其形态的外星物
Then to Lebanon, oh, God
然后到黎巴嫩,哦,上帝
The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
夜晚的闪烁,警报声越来越大
(Oh history involved itself)
(哦,历史牵涉其中)
Mysterious shade that took its form (or what it was)
采取其形态的神秘阴影(或者它是什么)
Incarnation, three stars
化身,三星
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes
传递符号并从他们的眼中撒尘
