Holiday

Lyrics Translation

Holiday, oh, a holiday
And the best one of the year
Dozing off underneath my sheets
While I cover both my ears

But if I wait for a holiday
Could it stop my fears?
To go away on a summer's day
Never seemed so clear

Holiday, still so far away
A republic on the beach
I can't forget just how bad it gets
When I'm counting on my teeth

But if I wait for a holiday
Could it stop my fears?
To go away on a summer's day
Never seemed so clear

A vegetarian since the invasion
She'd never seen the word 'bombs'
She'd never seen the word 'bombs'
Blown up to 96-point Futura
She'd never seen an AK
In a yellowy Day-Glo display
A T-shirt so lovely, it turned all the history books grey

I got wheels, I got Cutter spray
And a healthy sense of worth
Half of me is the gasoline
But the other half's the surf

So if I wait for a holiday
Could it stop my fears?
To go away on a summer's day
Never seemed so clear

Holiday, oh, a holiday
Vacaciones, oh, unas vacaciones
And the best one of the year
Y las mejores del año
Dozing off underneath my sheets
Adormeciéndome debajo de mis sábanas
While I cover both my ears
Mientras me cubro ambos oídos
But if I wait for a holiday
Pero si espero unas vacaciones
Could it stop my fears?
¿Podría detener mis miedos?
To go away on a summer's day
Irme en un día de verano
Never seemed so clear
Nunca pareció tan claro
Holiday, still so far away
Vacaciones, aún tan lejos
A republic on the beach
Una república en la playa
I can't forget just how bad it gets
No puedo olvidar lo mal que se pone
When I'm counting on my teeth
Cuando estoy contando con mis dientes
But if I wait for a holiday
Pero si espero unas vacaciones
Could it stop my fears?
¿Podría detener mis miedos?
To go away on a summer's day
Irme en un día de verano
Never seemed so clear
Nunca pareció tan claro
A vegetarian since the invasion
Vegetariana desde la invasión
She'd never seen the word 'bombs'
Nunca había visto la palabra 'bombas'
She'd never seen the word 'bombs'
Nunca había visto la palabra 'bombas'
Blown up to 96-point Futura
Ampliada a 96 puntos Futura
She'd never seen an AK
Nunca había visto un AK
In a yellowy Day-Glo display
En una pantalla amarilla de Day-Glo
A T-shirt so lovely, it turned all the history books grey
Una camiseta tan bonita, que volvió todos los libros de historia grises
I got wheels, I got Cutter spray
Tengo ruedas, tengo spray Cutter
And a healthy sense of worth
Y un saludable sentido de valía
Half of me is the gasoline
La mitad de mí es la gasolina
But the other half's the surf
Pero la otra mitad es el surf
So if I wait for a holiday
Así que si espero unas vacaciones
Could it stop my fears?
¿Podría detener mis miedos?
To go away on a summer's day
Irme en un día de verano
Never seemed so clear
Nunca pareció tan claro
