Robber

Tamara Lindeman

Lyrics Translation

I never believed in the robber
I never saw nobody climb over my fence
No black bag, no gloved hand

I never believed in the robber
I figured everything he took was gone
Nothing to do, nothing to be done

I never believed in the robber
No, I never believed in the robber

You never believed in the robber
You thought a robber must hate you
To wanna take from you
The robber don't hate you

You never believed in the robber
But the robber never believed in you
You're two halves of the same piece
Divided into two
No, the robber don't hate you

No, the robber don't hate you
He had permission
Permission by words
Permission of thanks
Permission by laws
Permission of banks
White table cloth dinners
Convention centers, it was all done real carefully
Make real imagination, make unreal
That which can be taken
Turn your gaze from the window's light
Turn your attention to this sharp knife

I never believed in the robber
When I was young, I learned how to make love to the robber
To dance with the other
To wring from his hand the touch of a lover
I never believed in the robber
Nobody taught me nothing was mine if nothing was mine
Then taking was all there was
Looting at dawn, looting at dusk
Hold open the gates for the want of lust
All I saw was the dust, kicked up

Nunca creí en el ladrón
Nunca vi a nadie trepar por mi cerca
Sin bolso negro, sin mano enguantada
Nunca creí en el ladrón
Pensé que todo lo que tomó se había ido
Nada que hacer, nada que hacer
Nunca creí en el ladrón
No, nunca creí en el ladrón

Nunca creíste en el ladrón
Pensaste: "Un ladrón debe odiarte para querer quitarte"
El ladrón no te odia
Nunca creíste en el ladrón
Pero el ladrón nunca creyó en ti
Eras dos mitades de la misma pieza, dividida en dos
No, el ladrón no te odia

No, el ladrón no te odia, tenía permiso
Permiso de palabras, permiso de agradecimiento
Permiso por ley, permiso de bancos
Cenas de mantel blanco, centros de convenciones
Todo fue hecho con mucho cuidado
Haz verdadera imaginación, haz irreal lo que se puede tomar
Aparta tu mirada de la luz de la ventana
Dirige tu atención a este cuchillo afilado

Nunca creí en el ladrón
Cuando era joven aprendí a hacerle el amor al ladrón
Bailar con el otro
Para arrancar de su mano el toque de un amante
Nunca creí en el ladrón
Nadie me enseñó que nada era mío
Si nada era mío, tomar era todo lo que había
Saqueo al amanecer, saqueo al anochecer
Mantén abiertas las puertas para el deseo con lujuria
Y todo lo que vi fue el polvo, levantado
