Quiet Town

Brandon Flowers, Jonathan Rado

Lyrics Translation

(Ah yeah, oh no, the train, the train)
(Every two or three years the train kills somebody)
(Every two, three years, yup)
(Everyone knows about the train, okay, you hear it constantly)
(I think the train is a way to find your way out of this life)
(If you get hit by it)

A couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific train
Carrying sheet metal and household appliances through the pouring rain
They were planning on getting married after graduation
Had a little baby girl, trouble came and shut it down
Things like that ain't supposed to happen

In this quiet town, families are tight
Good people, they still don't deadbolt their doors at night
In this quiet town

(In this quiet)

When we first heard opioid stories
They were always in whispering tones
Now banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homes
Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies
And merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons
Laying there lifeless in their suits and gowns
Somebody's been keepin' secrets

In this quiet town, they know how to live
Good people who lean on Jesus, they're quick to forgive
In this quiet town

And whenever I'm near the town I'll find some reason to give
And I will walk with the dead and the living where I used to live
And every time I see my parents in the prime of their lives
Offering their son the kind of love he could never put down
The part of me is still that stainless kid, lucky

In this quiet town, salt of the land
Hard-working people, if you're in trouble, they'll lend you a hand
Here in this quiet town

The first crop of hay is up
School let out and the sun beats down
Smoke billows from a Sunday train
That cries away from a quiet town

(Ah yeah, oh no, the train, the train)
(Ah sim, oh não, o trem, o trem)
(Every two or three years the train kills somebody)
(A cada dois ou três anos o trem mata alguém)
(Every two, three years, yup)
(A cada dois, três anos, sim)
(Everyone knows about the train, okay, you hear it constantly)
(Todos sabem sobre o trem, ok, você o ouve constantemente)
(I think the train is a way to find your way out of this life)
(Eu acho que o trem é uma maneira de encontrar sua saída desta vida)
(If you get hit by it)
(Se você for atingido por ele)
A couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific train
Um casal de crianças foi atingido por um trem da Union Pacific
Carrying sheet metal and household appliances through the pouring rain
Carregando chapas de metal e eletrodomésticos pela chuva torrencial
They were planning on getting married after graduation
Eles planejavam se casar depois da formatura
Had a little baby girl, trouble came and shut it down
Tiveram uma pequena menina, os problemas vieram e acabaram com tudo
Things like that ain't supposed to happen
Coisas assim não deveriam acontecer
In this quiet town, families are tight
Nesta cidade tranquila, as famílias são unidas
Good people, they still don't deadbolt their doors at night
Boas pessoas, elas ainda não trancam suas portas à noite
In this quiet town
Nesta cidade tranquila
(In this quiet)
(Nesta tranquila)
When we first heard opioid stories
Quando ouvimos pela primeira vez histórias sobre opioides
They were always in whispering tones
Elas sempre eram em tons de sussurro
Now banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homes
Agora faixas de luto marcam as escadas da frente das casas de infância
Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies
Pais choraram através de elogios à filhinha do papai
And merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons
E marcos de mérito com suas filhas e filhos
Laying there lifeless in their suits and gowns
Deitados ali sem vida em seus ternos e vestidos
Somebody's been keepin' secrets
Alguém tem guardado segredos
In this quiet town, they know how to live
Nesta cidade tranquila, eles sabem como viver
Good people who lean on Jesus, they're quick to forgive
Boas pessoas que se apoiam em Jesus, são rápidas para perdoar
In this quiet town
Nesta cidade tranquila
And whenever I'm near the town I'll find some reason to give
E sempre que estou perto da cidade, encontro algum motivo para dar
And I will walk with the dead and the living where I used to live
E eu andarei com os mortos e os vivos onde eu costumava viver
And every time I see my parents in the prime of their lives
E toda vez que vejo meus pais no auge de suas vidas
Offering their son the kind of love he could never put down
Oferecendo ao seu filho o tipo de amor que ele nunca poderia recusar
The part of me is still that stainless kid, lucky
Parte de mim ainda é aquele garoto inoxidável, sortudo
In this quiet town, salt of the land
Nesta cidade tranquila, sal da terra
Hard-working people, if you're in trouble, they'll lend you a hand
Pessoas trabalhadoras, se você está em apuros, elas te darão uma mão
Here in this quiet town
Aqui nesta cidade tranquila
The first crop of hay is up
A primeira colheita de feno está pronta
School let out and the sun beats down
A escola acabou e o sol bate forte
Smoke billows from a Sunday train
Fumaça se ergue de um trem de domingo
That cries away from a quiet town
Que chora longe de uma cidade tranquila
(Ah yeah, oh no, the train, the train)
(Ah sí, oh no, el tren, el tren)
(Every two or three years the train kills somebody)
(Cada dos o tres años el tren mata a alguien)
(Every two, three years, yup)
(Cada dos, tres años, sí)
(Everyone knows about the train, okay, you hear it constantly)
(Todos saben del tren, está bien, lo oyes constantemente)
(I think the train is a way to find your way out of this life)
(Creo que el tren es una forma de encontrar tu salida de esta vida)
(If you get hit by it)
(Si te golpea)
A couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific train

Carrying sheet metal and household appliances through the pouring rain
Transportando láminas de metal y electrodomésticos a través de la lluvia torrencial
They were planning on getting married after graduation
Estaban planeando casarse después de la graduación
Had a little baby girl, trouble came and shut it down
Tenían una pequeña niña, los problemas llegaron y lo cerraron todo
Things like that ain't supposed to happen
Cosas así no se supone que sucedan
In this quiet town, families are tight
En este tranquilo pueblo, las familias son unidas
Good people, they still don't deadbolt their doors at night
Buenas personas, aún no cierran sus puertas con cerrojo por la noche

Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies
Los padres lloraban a través de los elogios de la niña de papá
And merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons

Yaciendo allí sin vida en sus trajes y vestidos
Somebody's been keepin' secrets
Alguien ha estado guardando secretos

And whenever I'm near the town I'll find some reason to give
Y siempre que estoy cerca del pueblo, encuentro alguna razón para dar
And I will walk with the dead and the living where I used to live
Y caminaré con los muertos y los vivos donde solía vivir
And every time I see my parents in the prime of their lives
Y cada vez que veo a mis padres en la plenitud de sus vidas
Offering their son the kind of love he could never put down
Ofreciendo a su hijo el tipo de amor que nunca podría rechazar
The part of me is still that stainless kid, lucky
Parte de mí sigue siendo ese niño inmaculado, afortunado
In this quiet town, salt of the land
En este tranquilo pueblo, sal de la tierra

That cries away from a quiet town
Que llora alejándose de un tranquilo pueblo

School let out and the sun beats down
La scuola ha finito e il sole batte forte
Smoke billows from a Sunday train
Il fumo si alza da un treno domenicale
That cries away from a quiet town
Che piange lontano da una tranquilla città
