Should Have Known Better
Sufjan Stevens
I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies
I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy
When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
I'm light as a feather
I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud
Frightened by my feelings
I only wanna be a relief
No, I'm not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I wanna believe
When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should have wrote a letter
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
Don't back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor's greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination
Don't back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I'm a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron's beard, where you can reach me
Don't back down, nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination
Illumination
I should have known better
Eu deveria saber
To see what I could see
Ver o que eu podia ver
My black shroud
Meu véu negro
Holding down my feelings
Segurando meus sentimentos
A pillar for my enemies
Um pilar para meus inimigos
I should have wrote a letter
Eu devia ter escrito uma carta
And grieve what I happen to grieve
E ficar de luto pelo que eu tinha que ficar
My black shroud
Meu véu negro
I never trust my feelings
Eu nunca confio nos meus sentimentos
I waited for the remedy
Eu esperei pelo remédio
When I was three, three maybe four
Quando eu tinha três anos, talvez quatro
She left us at that video store
Ela nos deixou na locadora
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, seja meu descanso, seja minha fantasia
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, seja meu descanso, seja minha fantasia
I'm light as a feather
Sou leve como uma pluma
I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
Sou claro como a briza de Oregon
My black shroud
Meu véu negro
Frightened by my feelings
Assustado pelos meus sentimentos
I only wanna be a relief
Eu só quero ser um alívio
No, I'm not a go-getter
Não, eu não sou batalhador
The demon had a spell on me
O demônio me deixou uma maldição
My black shroud
Meu véu negro
Captain of my feelings
Capitão dos meus sentimentos
The only thing I wanna believe
A única coisa em que quero acreditar
When I was three, and free to explore
Quando eu tinha três anos e era livre para explorar
I saw her face on the back of the door
Eu vi o rosto dela atrás da porta
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, seja meu descanso, seja minha fantasia
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, seja meu descanso, seja minha fantasia
I should have known better
Eu deveria saber
Nothing can be changed
Nada pode ser mudado
The past is still the past
O passado ainda é passado
The bridge to nowhere
A ponte para lugar algum
I should have wrote a letter
Eu deveria ter escrito uma carta
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
Explicando o que eu sinto, esse sentimento vazio
Don't back down, concentrate on seeing
Não desista, concentre-se em ver
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor's greeting
Os disjuntores do bar, os cumprimentos do vizinho
My brother had a daughter
Meu irmão teve uma filha
The beauty that she brings, illumination
A beleza que ela traz, iluminação
Don't back down, there is nothing left
Não desista, não sobrou nada
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
Os disjuntores do bar, nenhuma razão para viver
I'm a fool in the fetter
Sou um bobo nos grilhões
Rose of Aaron's beard, where you can reach me
Rosa da barba de Arão, onde você pode me alcançar
Don't back down, nothing can be changed
Não desista, nada pode mudar
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
Ponte em consola, o marinheiro bêbado

I saw her face on the back of the door
Vi su cara en la parte de atrás de la puerta
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, sé mi descanso, sé mi fantasía
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, sé mi descanso, sé mi fantasía

Nothing can be changed
Nada se puede cambiar
The past is still the past
El pasado sigue siendo el pasado
The bridge to nowhere
El puente a ninguna parte

Debería haber escrito una carta
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
