Genuflecting Ghost

Sufjan Stevens

Lyrics Translation

Give myself as a sacrifice
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss the floor
Rise, my love, show me paradise
Nothing seems so simple anymore

Rest assured, words come easy
Insecure, love and please me
Sacred word, bind me, insult
As I praise your name

Now will we dance in our catastrophe
Ramparts in the sky that flash with horror
Let's take these chances, no more amnesty
Nothing else remains as once before

Rest assured, empires will fall
Insecure, restless and small
Sacred word, bind me, insult
As I praise your name

Give myself as a sacrifice
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss no more

Give myself as a sacrifice
Dou-me como um sacrifício
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss the floor
Fantasma ajoelhado, beijo o chão
Rise, my love, show me paradise
Levanta, meu amor, mostra-me o paraíso
Nothing seems so simple anymore
Nada parece tão simples agora
Rest assured, words come easy
Fique tranquilo, as palavras vêm fácil
Insecure, love and please me
Inseguro, ame e me agrade
Sacred word, bind me, insult
Palavra sagrada, me amarre, insulte
As I praise your name
Enquanto eu louvo o seu nome
Now will we dance in our catastrophe
Agora vamos dançar em nossa catástrofe
Ramparts in the sky that flash with horror
Baluartes no céu que piscam com horror
Let's take these chances, no more amnesty
Vamos aproveitar essas chances, não há mais anistia
Nothing else remains as once before
Nada mais permanece como antes
Rest assured, empires will fall
Fique tranquilo, impérios cairão
Insecure, restless and small
Inseguro, inquieto e pequeno
Sacred word, bind me, insult
Palavra sagrada, me amarre, insulte
As I praise your name
Enquanto eu louvo o seu nome
Give myself as a sacrifice
Dou-me como um sacrifício
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss no more
Fantasma ajoelhado, não beijo mais
Give myself as a sacrifice
Dame como un sacrificio
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss the floor
Fantasma genuflexo, beso el suelo
Rise, my love, show me paradise
Levántate, mi amor, muéstrame el paraíso
Nothing seems so simple anymore
Nada parece tan simple ahora
Rest assured, words come easy
Descansa seguro, las palabras vienen fácil
Insecure, love and please me
Inseguro, amor y compláceme
Sacred word, bind me, insult
Palabra sagrada, átame, insulta
As I praise your name
Mientras alabo tu nombre
Now will we dance in our catastrophe
Ahora, ¿bailaremos en nuestra catástrofe?
Ramparts in the sky that flash with horror
Baluartes en el cielo que destellan con horror
Let's take these chances, no more amnesty
Tomemos estas oportunidades, no más amnistía
Nothing else remains as once before
Nada más permanece como antes
Rest assured, empires will fall
Descansa seguro, los imperios caerán
Insecure, restless and small
Inseguro, inquieto y pequeño
Sacred word, bind me, insult
Palabra sagrada, átame, insulta
As I praise your name
Mientras alabo tu nombre
Give myself as a sacrifice
Dame como un sacrificio
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss no more
Fantasma genuflexo, ya no beso más
Give myself as a sacrifice
Donne-moi comme un sacrifice
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss the floor
Fantôme agenouillé, j'embrasse le sol
Rise, my love, show me paradise
Lève-toi, mon amour, montre-moi le paradis
Nothing seems so simple anymore
Rien ne semble plus si simple désormais
Rest assured, words come easy
Soyez assuré, les mots viennent facilement
Insecure, love and please me
Insécurité, amour et satisfais-moi
Sacred word, bind me, insult
Mot sacré, lie-moi, insulte
As I praise your name
Alors que je loue ton nom
Now will we dance in our catastrophe
Maintenant allons-nous danser dans notre catastrophe
Ramparts in the sky that flash with horror
Remparts dans le ciel qui clignotent d'horreur
Let's take these chances, no more amnesty
Prenons ces chances, plus d'amnistie
Nothing else remains as once before
Rien d'autre ne reste comme avant
Rest assured, empires will fall
Soyez assuré, les empires tomberont
Insecure, restless and small
Insécurité, agité et petit
Sacred word, bind me, insult
Mot sacré, lie-moi, insulte
As I praise your name
Alors que je loue ton nom
Give myself as a sacrifice
Donne-moi comme un sacrifice
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss no more
Fantôme agenouillé, je n'embrasse plus
Give myself as a sacrifice
Gib mich selbst als Opfer
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss the floor
Kniefälliger Geist, ich küsse den Boden
Rise, my love, show me paradise
Steig auf, meine Liebe, zeig mir das Paradies
Nothing seems so simple anymore
Nichts scheint mehr so einfach zu sein
Rest assured, words come easy
Sei versichert, Worte kommen leicht
Insecure, love and please me
Unsicher, liebe und erfreue mich
Sacred word, bind me, insult
Heiliges Wort, binde mich, beleidige
As I praise your name
Während ich deinen Namen preise
Now will we dance in our catastrophe
Tanzen wir jetzt in unserer Katastrophe
Ramparts in the sky that flash with horror
Bollwerke am Himmel, die mit Schrecken aufblitzen
Let's take these chances, no more amnesty
Lassen wir diese Chancen wahrnehmen, keine Amnestie mehr
Nothing else remains as once before
Nichts anderes bleibt wie zuvor
Rest assured, empires will fall
Sei versichert, Reiche werden fallen
Insecure, restless and small
Unsicher, unruhig und klein
Sacred word, bind me, insult
Heiliges Wort, binde mich, beleidige
As I praise your name
Während ich deinen Namen preise
Give myself as a sacrifice
Gib mich selbst als Opfer
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss no more
Kniefälliger Geist, ich küsse nicht mehr
Give myself as a sacrifice
Mi offro come un sacrificio
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss the floor
Fantasma genuflesso, bacio il pavimento
Rise, my love, show me paradise
Sorgi, amore mio, mostrami il paradiso
Nothing seems so simple anymore
Niente sembra più così semplice
Rest assured, words come easy
Stai tranquillo, le parole vengono facili
Insecure, love and please me
Insicuro, ama e accontentami
Sacred word, bind me, insult
Parola sacra, legami, insultami
As I praise your name
Mentre lodo il tuo nome
Now will we dance in our catastrophe
Ora danzeremo nella nostra catastrofe
Ramparts in the sky that flash with horror
Bastioni nel cielo che lampeggiano con orrore
Let's take these chances, no more amnesty
Prendiamo queste opportunità, non più amnistia
Nothing else remains as once before
Nient'altro rimane come prima
Rest assured, empires will fall
Stai tranquillo, gli imperi cadranno
Insecure, restless and small
Insicuro, inquieto e piccolo
Sacred word, bind me, insult
Parola sacra, legami, insultami
As I praise your name
Mentre lodo il tuo nome
Give myself as a sacrifice
Mi offro come un sacrificio
Genuflecting ghost, I kiss no more
Fantasma genuflesso, non bacio più
