End Of The Empire I-III
Regine Chassagne, Win Butler
One last dance
Here at the end of the empire
Makes me cry
Watchin' the moon on the ocean
Where California used to be
It's not half bad, oh-oh
Spend half your life bein' sad, whoa
Don't be scared, oh-oh
Just chronically impaired, oh-oh
Just take my hand, oh-oh
Standin' at the end of the American empire
One last song
Here at the end of the movie
They seemed so sure
At least, that's the way I remember
The war
When New York used to be
It's not half bad, oh-oh
Spend half your life bein' sad, whoa
Don't you weep, oh-oh
Half your life, fast asleep, oh-oh
Feelin' uninspired, oh-oh
Standin' at the end of the American empire
And we know that it's time to go
Heard the news on the radio
One last round before we go
Through the pale, atmospheric glow
And the oxygen's getting low
Sing a song that we used to know
One last round before we go
One last round before we go
So sad
Didn't used to get high
Didn't used to drink, and I
Didn't used to think I
Could ever dream about losin' you
Didn't used to get low
This time of night, and I
Didn't used to walk home
In the mornin' light without you
Without you
Didn't used to get high
Didn't used to drink
Didn't used to think I
Could ever dream about losin' you
You, but I do
It's you and I
It's do or die
Suicide mission
Baby, by my side
We got one life and half of it's gone
You know, I can't sleep with the television on
Didn't used to get high
With you by my side
Leave the light on
One last dance
Ein letzter Tanz
Here at the end of the empire
Hier am Ende des Imperiums
Makes me cry
Bringt mich zum Weinen
Watchin' the moon on the ocean
Beobachte den Mond über dem Ozean
Where California used to be
Wo früher Kalifornien war
It's not half bad, oh-oh
Es ist nicht halb so schlimm, oh-oh
Spend half your life bein' sad, whoa
Verbringe die Hälfte deines Lebens traurig, whoa
Don't be scared, oh-oh
Hab keine Angst, oh-oh
Just chronically impaired, oh-oh
Nur chronisch beeinträchtigt, oh-oh
Just take my hand, oh-oh
Nimm meine Hand, oh-oh
Standin' at the end of the American empire
Stehend am Ende des amerikanischen Imperiums
One last song
Ein letztes Lied
Here at the end of the movie
Hier am Ende des Films
They seemed so sure
Sie schienen so sicher
At least, that's the way I remember
Zumindest, so erinnere ich mich
The war
An den Krieg
When New York used to be
Als New York noch existierte
It's not half bad, oh-oh
Es ist nicht halb so schlimm, oh-oh
Spend half your life bein' sad, whoa
Verbringe die Hälfte deines Lebens traurig, whoa
Don't you weep, oh-oh
Weine nicht, oh-oh
Half your life, fast asleep, oh-oh
Die Hälfte deines Lebens, tief im Schlaf, oh-oh
Feelin' uninspired, oh-oh
Fühl dich uninspiriert, oh-oh
Standin' at the end of the American empire
Stehend am Ende des amerikanischen Imperiums
And we know that it's time to go
Und wir wissen, dass es Zeit ist zu gehen
Heard the news on the radio
Hörten die Nachrichten im Radio
One last round before we go
Eine letzte Runde bevor wir gehen
Through the pale, atmospheric glow
Durch den blassen, atmosphärischen Schein
And the oxygen's getting low
Und der Sauerstoff wird knapp
Sing a song that we used to know
Sing ein Lied, das wir früher kannten
One last round before we go
Eine letzte Runde bevor wir gehen
One last round before we go
Eine letzte Runde bevor wir gehen
So sad
So traurig
Didn't used to get high
Habe früher nicht gekifft
Didn't used to drink, and I
Habe früher nicht getrunken, und ich
Didn't used to think I
Habe früher nicht gedacht, ich
Could ever dream about losin' you
Könnte jemals davon träumen, dich zu verlieren
Didn't used to get low
Habe früher nicht niedergeschlagen
This time of night, and I
Zu dieser Zeit der Nacht, und ich
Didn't used to walk home
Bin früher nicht nach Hause gelaufen
In the mornin' light without you
Im Morgenlicht ohne dich
Without you
Ohne dich
Didn't used to get high
Habe früher nicht gekifft
Didn't used to drink
Habe früher nicht getrunken
Didn't used to think I
Habe früher nicht gedacht, ich
Could ever dream about losin' you
Könnte jemals davon träumen, dich zu verlieren
You, but I do
Du, aber ich tue es
It's you and I
Es sind du und ich
It's do or die
Es ist tun oder sterben

Não é tão ruim, oh-oh
Spend half your life bein' sad, whoa
Passar metade da sua vida sendo triste, uau
Don't be scared, oh-oh
Não tenha medo, oh-oh

Apenas pegue minha mão, oh-oh
Standin' at the end of the American empire
De pé no fim do império americano
One last song
Uma última canção
Here at the end of the movie

Cante uma música que costumávamos conhecer
One last round before we go
Uma última rodada antes de irmos
One last round before we go
Uma última rodada antes de irmos
So sad
Tão triste
Didn't used to get high
Não costumava ficar alto

Could ever dream about losin' you
Poderia sonhar em te perder
