Lyrics
We were in a race to grow up
– Nou te nan yon kous pou nou grandi
Yesterday, through today, ’til tomorrow
– Yè, nan jounen jodi a, ‘ jiska demen
But when the plant blew up
– Men lè plant la te eksploze
A piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you
– Yon moso nan eskanè vole ak ralanti ke pati nan ou
The doctors gave you until the end of the night
– Doktè yo te ba ou jouk nan fen nwit la
But not ’til daylight (Not ’til daylight), not ’til daylight (Not ’til daylight)
– Men, pa ‘jiska lajounen (Pa’ jiska lajounen), pa ‘jiska lajounen (Pa’ jiska lajounen)
Time passes slower in the flicker of the hospital light
– Tan pase pi dousman nan flache limyè lopital la
I pray the race is worth the fight
– Mwen priye pou ras la vo batay la
Made a fool of myself down on Tennessee Street
– Te fè yon moun fou nan Tèt mwen desann Sou Tennessee Street
It wasn’t pretty like the movies
– Li pa t bèl tankou fim yo
It was ugly, like what they all did to me
– Li te lèd, tankou sa yo tout te fè m’
And they did to me what I wouldn’t do to anyone
– Epi yo te fè m sa mwen pa ta fè pèsonn
You know that’s for sure
– Ou konnen sa se pou asire w
Tell me all the time not to worry
– Di m tout tan pa enkyete
And think of all the time I’ll, I’ll have with you
– Epi panse a tout tan mwen pral, mwen pral gen avèk ou
When I won’t wake up on my own (Wake up on my own), wake up on my own
– Lè m pa pral reveye pou kont mwen (Reveye pou kont mwen), reveye pou kont mwen
Held close all the time, knowing I’m half of you
– Te kenbe fèmen tout tan tout tan an, konnen mwen mwatye nan ou
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
– (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
– (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
– (Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
– (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
– (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
Lay me down where the trees bend low
– Mete m kote pyebwa yo koube ba
Put me down where the greenery stings
– Mete m ‘ desann kote vejetasyon an pike
I can hear them singin’
– Mwen ka tande yo chante
“To love me is to suffer me”, and I believe it
– “Renmen m’ se soufri m’”, e mwen kwè li
When I lay with you in that auld lang room
– Lè m te kouche avèk ou nan sal auld lang sa a
Wishin’ I was the way you say that you are
– Wishin ‘ mwen te fason ou di ke ou se
You’ll go fight a war, I’ll go missing
– Ou pral goumen yon lagè, mwen pral disparèt
I warned you, for me, it’s not that hard
– Mwen te avèti ou, pou mwen, li pa tèlman difisil
That picture on the wall you’re scared of looks just like you
– Foto sa a sou miray la ou pè sanble menm jan ak ou
I wanna bleed, I wanna hurt the way that boys do
– Mwen vle san, mwen vle fè mal fason ke ti gason fè
Maybe you’re right and we should stop watchin’ the news
– Petèt ou gen rezon e nou ta dwe sispann gade nouvèl yo
‘Cause, baby, I’ve never seen brown eyes look so blue
– Paske, ti bebe, mwen pa janm wè je mawon gade konsa ble
Tell me all the time (Tell me all the time) not to worry (Not to worry)
– Di m tout tan (Di m tout tan) pa enkyete (pa enkyete)
And think of all the time I’ll, I’ll have with you
– Epi panse a tout tan mwen pral, mwen pral gen avèk ou
When I won’t wake up on my own (Wake up on my own), wake up on my own
– Lè m pa pral reveye pou kont mwen (Reveye pou kont mwen), reveye pou kont mwen
Held close all the time, knowin’ I’m half of you
– Te kenbe fèmen tout tan tout tan an, konnen ‘ mwen mwatye nan ou
Think of us inside (Think of us inside), after the wedding (After the wedding)
– Panse nou anndan (Panse nou anndan), apre maryaj la (apre maryaj la)
Sufferin’ the while to lie a time or two
– Soufri pandan y ap bay manti yon fwa oswa de fwa
When we won’t wake up on our own (Wake up on our own), wake up on our own (Wake up on our own)
– Lè nou pa pral reveye pou kont nou (Reveye pou kont nou), reveye pou kont nou (Reveye pou kont nou)
Held close all the time, knowin’ (Knowin’)
– Te kenbe fèmen tout tan tout tan an, knowin ‘(Knowin’)
This was all for you
– Sa a te tout pou ou
Think of us inside
– Panse nou anndan
Gardenias on the tile, where it makes no difference who held back from who
– Gardenias sou mozayik la, kote li pa fè okenn diferans ki moun ki kenbe tounen soti nan ki moun ki
To love me is to suffer me
– Renmen m se soufri m
