Mito
Every time a guy writes a song, he’s a cowboy, a sailor
– Kila wakati mvulana anaandika wimbo, yeye ni cowboy, baharia
Playing with the world in his palm like the first pioneer
– Kucheza na ulimwengu katika kiganja chake kama painia wa kwanza
Every time he opens his mouth, it’s a loud movie trailer
– Kila anapofungua kinywa chake, ni trela kubwa ya sinema
Clipping every image and sound he thinks proves he was here
– Clipping kila picha na sauti anadhani inathibitisha alikuwa hapa
A hand, a spike, a physical fight, a flash of light, a curtain
– Mkono, mwiba, mapigano ya mwili, mwangaza wa nuru, pazia
A toll, a tithe, the passage of time, a height, a dive, a burden
– Ushuru, zaka, kupita kwa wakati, urefu, kupiga mbizi, mzigo
A girl, a night, a typical type, a siren in the water
– Msichana, usiku, aina ya kawaida, siren ndani ya maji
A scroll, a nod, a message from God, a son, a Holy Father
– Kitabu, nod, ujumbe kutoka Kwa Mungu, mwana, Baba Mtakatifu
Every time a guy writes a song, he’s a sailor, a cowboy
– Kila wakati mvulana anaandika wimbo, yeye ni baharia, cowboy
Holding out the world in his palm like he made it himself
– Kuushikilia ulimwengu katika kiganja chake kama alivyoufanya mwenyewe
Every time I open my mouth, I think, “Wow, what a loud noise”
– Kila wakati mimi kufungua kinywa changu, nadhani, ” Wow, nini kelele kubwa”
Still on the soapbox, just hoping I seem underwhelmed
– Bado kwenye kisanduku cha sabuni, nikitumaini tu kwamba ninaonekana kuwa na wasiwasi
The hand, the pen, the writing again, the wind around the willow
– Mkono, kalamu, maandishi tena, upepo karibu na willow
The felt, the ice, the passage of time, the melting down the window
– Waliona, barafu, kifungu cha muda, kuyeyuka chini ya dirisha
The now, the then, the thinking of “when,” the bottle in the ocean
– Sasa, basi, mawazo ya “wakati,” chupa katika bahari
The strike, the pause, the message from God forbid she shows emotion
– Mgomo, pause, ujumbe kutoka Kwa mungu apishe mbali anaonyesha hisia
This isn’t rage, it’s worth a mention
– Hii sio hasira, inafaa kutajwa
This is a fake internal tension
– Huu ni mvutano bandia wa ndani
Sometimes, I spread out one opinion
– Wakati mwingine, nilieneza maoni moja
And stand on its back to gauge attention
– Na simama nyuma yake ili kupima umakini
This isn’t rage, it’s too specific
– Hii sio hasira, ni maalum sana
I like to hate symbolic limits
– Ninapenda kuchukia mipaka ya mfano
This is no statement, I’m complicit
– Hii sio taarifa, mimi ni mshirika
This is a dream, God put me in it
– Hii ni ndoto, Mungu aliniweka ndani yake
A hand, a spike, a physical fight, the wind around the willow
– Mkono, mwiba, mapigano ya mwili, upepo karibu na willow
A toll, a tithe, the passage of time, the melting down the window
– Ushuru, zaka, kupita kwa wakati, kuyeyuka chini ya dirisha
The now, the then, the thinking of “when,” the siren in the water
– Sasa, basi, kufikiri ya “wakati,” siren katika maji
The strike, the pause, the message from God, does that make me His daughter?
– Mgomo, pause, ujumbe kutoka Kwa Mungu, je, hiyo inanifanya binti Yake?
A hand, a shove, a valley, a jump, a score under the wire
– Mkono, koleo, bonde, kuruka, alama chini ya waya
Just sweep me up, just sweep me up and take me somewhere higher
– Nifagie tu, nifagie tu na unipeleke mahali pengine juu
Just sweep me up, just sweep me up and take me somewhere higher
– Nifagie tu, nifagie tu na unipeleke mahali pengine juu
Just sweep me up, just sweep me up and take me somewhere higher
– Nifagie tu, nifagie tu na unipeleke mahali pengine juu
