Horchata

Christopher Joseph Baio, Christopher William Tomson, Ezra Koenig, Rostam Batmanglij

Lyrics Translation

In December, drinking horchata
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
Winter's cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals

In December, drinking horchata
Look down your glasses at that Aranciata
With lips and teeth to ask how my day went
Boots and fists to pound on the pavement

Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on

You'd remember drinking horchata
You'd still enjoy it with your foot on Masada
Winter's cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals

Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Oh, you had it but oh, no, you lost it
Looking back, you shouldn't have fought it

In December, drinking horchata
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
Winter's cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
Years go by and hearts start to harden
Those palms and firs that grew in your garden
Are falling down and nearing the rosebeds
The roots are shooting up through the tool shed
Those lips and teeth that asked how my day went
Are shouting up through cracks in the pavement

Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Oh, you had it but oh, no, you lost it
You understood so you shouldn't have fought it
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on

In December, drinking horchata
En diciembre, bebiendo horchata
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
Parecería psicótico con una pasamontañas
Winter's cold is too much to handle
El frío del invierno es demasiado para manejar
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
Cangrejos pellizcadores que pellizcan tus sandalias
In December, drinking horchata
En diciembre, bebiendo horchata
Look down your glasses at that Aranciata
Mira a través de tus gafas a esa Aranciata
With lips and teeth to ask how my day went
Con labios y dientes para preguntar cómo fue mi día
Boots and fists to pound on the pavement
Botas y puños para golpear el pavimento
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Aquí viene un sentimiento que pensaste que habías olvidado
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Sillas para sentarse y aceras para caminar
You'd remember drinking horchata
Recordarías beber horchata
You'd still enjoy it with your foot on Masada
Todavía lo disfrutarías con tu pie en Masada
Winter's cold is too much to handle
El frío del invierno es demasiado para manejar
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
Cangrejos pellizcadores que pellizcan tus sandalias
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Aquí viene un sentimiento que pensaste que habías olvidado
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Sillas para sentarse y aceras para caminar
Oh, you had it but oh, no, you lost it
Oh, lo tenías pero oh, no, lo perdiste
Looking back, you shouldn't have fought it
Mirando hacia atrás, no deberías haberlo peleado
In December, drinking horchata
En diciembre, bebiendo horchata
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
Parecería psicótico con una pasamontañas
Winter's cold is too much to handle
El frío del invierno es demasiado para manejar
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
Cangrejos pellizcadores que pellizcan tus sandalias
Years go by and hearts start to harden
Los años pasan y los corazones empiezan a endurecerse
Those palms and firs that grew in your garden
Esas palmas y abetos que crecieron en tu jardín
Are falling down and nearing the rosebeds
Están cayendo y acercándose a los rosales
The roots are shooting up through the tool shed
Las raíces están brotando a través del cobertizo de herramientas
Those lips and teeth that asked how my day went
Esos labios y dientes que preguntaron cómo fue mi día
Are shouting up through cracks in the pavement
Están gritando a través de las grietas en el pavimento
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Aquí viene un sentimiento que pensaste que habías olvidado
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Sillas para sentarse y aceras para caminar
Oh, you had it but oh, no, you lost it
Oh, lo tenías pero oh, no, lo perdiste
You understood so you shouldn't have fought it
Lo entendiste, así que no deberías haberlo peleado
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Aquí viene un sentimiento que pensaste que habías olvidado
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Sillas para sentarse y aceras para caminar
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Aquí viene un sentimiento que pensaste que habías olvidado
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Sillas para sentarse y aceras para caminar
