Lyrics
Mother, I tried to do right by you
– Mater, conatus sum facere ius a vobis
To do what you asked me to
– Fac quod tu me rogas
I did wrong, and I knew
– Erravi, et sciebam
Mother, I tried to behave for you
– Mater, conatus sum tibi conversari
Now I’m a-diggin’ a grave for you
– Ego autem a-diggin ‘ sepulcro del varon
It was all I could do
– Erat omnia facere potui
Find a way back home, make everything new
– Domum redire, omnia nova fac
I wish it was true
– Vrai est quelque chose
Father, well I gave my soul to you
– Pater, bene dedi tibi animam meam
I came in blind folded for you
– Et veni caecus involutus tibi
It was all that I knew
– Erat omnia quae sciebam
Open your arms and I’ll fly out of hell up to you
– Aperi arma tua et fugiam de inferno usque ad vos
I wish it was true
– Vrai est quelque chose
Boy, come on out from the cold
– Puer, veni de frigore
You’re lost outside there, don’t you know?
– Es increíble que él pierda el tren. non tu scis?
It’s not what you say, it’s what you do
– Non est quod dicis, sed quid facis
Just keep wishing your wishes are true
– Iustus servo tuo velle vera sunt
Well, your dreams, they’re reality, yeah
– Tu vero terminos transgrediens, si
There’s no pain, there’s no misery
– Nihil est doloris, illic ‘ nullum miseriae
Just polish the blood and the brews
– Sicut sanguis et saliuas expolies
For there’s just no way you can lose
– Non excludo tamen alios modos
Well, I wish it was true
– Si quis vero
Country, I was a solider to you
– Solidior factus sum tibi
I did what you asked me to
– Fecisti quod mihi praecepisti
It was wrong, and you knew
– Erras, et scias
Country, now I’m just a stranger to you
– Patria, nunc ego sum iustus a vobis alienus
A number, a name; it’s true
– Ton nom et prénom.
Throw me away when you’re through
– Et ego quando recordatus fuero pertimesco
Home of the brave and the free; the red, white, and blue
– La casa degli altri e liberi; rubrum, album, caeruleum
Well, I wish it was true
– Si quis vero
