Rica
The whole town is talking ’bout how you’ve fallen in love
– Tur hende ta papia di kon bo a bira enamorá
I read in the papers he’s someone that girls dream about
– Mi a lesa den e dianan ku ta un hende ku e muhénan ta soña kuné.
Some kind of ruler on top of a kingdom
– Un sorto di gobernante riba e top di un reino
I’m just a jester, I’ll never be him
– Mi ta un bufón so, nunka lo mi ta e
Last night you called to me
– Ayera nochi bo a yama mi
It almost killed me
– E ta kasi mata mi
To hear you scream my name
– Pa tende bo grita mi nòmber
Your smile still kills the same
– Bo sonrisa ta sigui mata e mesun kos
I almost turned around
– Mi a bira kasi
You chased me to the ground
– Bo a sigui mi te na suela
You asked me how I’ve been
– Bo a puntra mi kon mi tabata
But how do I begin
– Pero kon mi ta kuminsá?
To tell you I should’ve chased
– Pa bisa bo ku e mester a persiguí bo
You ‘cross every single state?
– Bo ta krusa tur estado?
I lay down my sword for fate
– Mi ta laga mi spada pa destino
‘Cause it’s too little, way too late
– Pasobra ta masha tiki, muchu lat
I didn’t need the reminder of things I’ve done wrong
– Mi No tabatin mester di e recordashon di e kosnan ku mi a hasi malu
Of promises broken, fragility hidden in song
– Di promesanan kibra, fragilidad scondi den e cantica
Guess that we’re soulmates in different lifetimes
– Mi ta kere ku nos ta alma gemelo den diferente bida
What if you leave him? Throw me a lifeline
– I si bo bandon’é? Lansa mi un salbador
I know that you’re happy
– Mi sa ku bo ta felis
But it just killed me
– Pero simplemente el a mata mi
To hear you scream my name
– Pa tende bo grita mi nòmber
A clear fucking X-ray
– Un puta radiografia clara
Of if I’d stuck around
– Si mi a keda
I swear to God, I almost drowned
– Mi ta hurament’é Na Dios, kasi mi ta dronka
You asked me how I’ve been
– Bo a puntra mi kon mi tabata
But how could I begin
– Pero kon e por kuminsá?
To tell you I should’ve chased you
– Pa bisa bo ku e mester a persiguí bo
I should be who you’re engaged to?
– Bo mester ta esun ku bo ta dediká na dje?
Lost my fight with fate
– Mi a pèrdè mi lucha ku destino
A tug-of-war of leave and stay
– Un tira i laga bai i keda
I give in, I abdicate
– Mi ta entregá mi mes, lo mi abdica
I lay my sword down anyway
– Mi ta laga mi spada di tur manera
I’ll see you at Heaven’s gate
– Mi ta mira bo na E Porta Di Shelu
‘Cause it’s too little, way too late
– Pasobra ta masha tiki, muchu lat
I’ll toast outside your wedding day
– Lo mi brinda fuera di bo dia di kasamentu
Whisper vows I’ll never say to you
– Susurrá voto ku nunka lo mi bisa bo
‘Cause it’s too little, all too late
– Pasobra ta masha tiki, muchu lat
