Lyrics
Who’s gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames
– Ki moun ki pral sispann nou soti nan waltzing tounen nan flanm dife rekondwi
If we know the steps anyway?
– Si nou konnen etap yo de tout fason?
We embroidered the memories of the time I was away
– Nou te brode memwa tan mwen te ale a
Stitching, “We were just kids, babe”
– Koud, “nou te jis timoun, ti bebe”
I said, “I don’t mind, it takes time”
– Mwen te di, “mwen pa gen pwoblèm, li pran tan”
I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed
– Mwen te panse mwen te pi bon an sekirite pase je zetwal
I felt aglow like this
– Mwen te santi mwen briyan tankou sa a
Never before and never since
– Pa janm anvan e pa janm depi
If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary
– Si ou konnen li nan yon sèl aperçu, li nan lejand
You and I go from one kiss to getting married
– Ou menm ak mwen ale nan yon sèl bo pou marye
Still alive, killing time at the cemetery
– Toujou vivan, touye tan nan simityè a
Never quite buried
– Pa janm byen antere
In your suit and tie, in the nick of time
– Nan kostim ou ak kravat, nan moman an
You low-down boy, you stand-up guy
– Ou ba-desann ti gason, ou kanpe-up nèg
You Holy Ghost, you told me I’m the love of your life
– Ou Sentespri, ou te di m ‘ mwen se renmen nan lavi ou
You said I’m the love of your life
– Ou te di mwen se lanmou lavi ou
About a million times
– Apeprè yon milyon fwa
Who’s gonna tell me the truth when you blew in with the winds of fate
– Ki moun ki pral di m verite a lè ou te soufle nan ak van yo nan sò
And told me I reformed you?
– Epi li te di m ‘ mwen refòme ou?
When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out to be fakes
– Lè penti enpresyonis ou nan syèl la te tounen soti yo dwe fo
Well, you took me to hell too
– Oke, ou te pran m ‘ nan lanfè tou
And all at once, the ink bleeds
– Ak tout nan yon fwa, lank lan senyen
A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme
– Yon moun ki fè fo vann yon moun fou yon konplo pou jwenn lanmou-vit
But I’ve felt a hole like this
– Men mwen te santi yon twou tankou sa a
Never before and ever since
– Pa janm anvan e depi lè sa a
If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary
– Si ou konnen li nan yon sèl aperçu, li nan lejand
What we thought was for all time was momentary
– Sa nou te panse se pou tout tan se te yon moman
Still alive, killing time at the cemetery
– Toujou vivan, touye tan nan simityè a
Never quite buried
– Pa janm byen antere
You cinephile in black and white
– Ou cinephile nan nwa ak blan
All those plot twists and dynamite
– Tout sa yo twist konplo ak dinamite
Mr. Steal Your Girl, then make her cry
– Mesye Vòlè Ti fi ou, lè sa a, fè l ‘ kriye
You said I’m the love of your life
– Ou te di mwen se lanmou lavi ou
You shit-talked me under the table
– Ou te pale m anba tab la
Talkin’ rings and talkin’ cradles
– Talkin ‘bag ak talkin’ cradles
I wish I could un-recall
– Mwen swete mwen te kapab un-sonje
How we almost had it all
– Ki jan nou te prèske gen tout bagay
Dancing phantoms on the terrace
– Danse fantom sou teras la
Are they second-hand embarrassed
– Èske yo wont de dezyèm men
That I can’t get out of bed
– Ke mwen pa ka leve nan kabann
‘Cause something counterfeit’s dead?
– Paske yon bagay fo mouri?
It was legendary
– Li te lejand
It was momentary
– Li te yon moman
It was unnecessary
– Li te nesesè
Should’ve let it stay buried
– Te dwe kite l rete antere
Oh, what a valiant roar
– Oh, ki sa yon bri vanyan
What a bland goodbye
– Ki sa ki yon orevwa san pwoblèm
The coward claimed he was a lion
– Kouraj la te di li te yon lyon
I’m combing through the braids of lies
– Mwen ap chame nan tresses nan manti
“I’ll never leave,” “Never mind”
– “Mwen pap janm kite,” ” Pa gen pwoblèm”
Our field of dreams engulfed in fire
– Jaden rèv nou an anvlope nan dife
Your arson’s match, your somber eyes
– Match anpwazònman ou, je sombre ou
And I’ll still see it until I die
– E m ap toujou wè l jiskaske m mouri
You’re the loss of my life
– Ou se pèt lavi m
