Who We Are
Andrew Hozier Byrne
You only feel it when it's lost
Getting through still has a cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Falling from you drop by drop
What I had left here
I just held it tight
So someone with your eyes
Might come in time
To hold me like water
Or Christ, hold me like a knife
We're born at night
So much of our lives
Is just carving through the dark
To get so far
And the hardest part
Is who we are
It's who we are
You and I burned out our steam
Chasing someone else's dream
How can something be so much heavier
But so much less than what it seems?
Darling, we sacrificed
We gave our time to something undefined
This phantom life
Sharpens like an image
But it sharpens like a knife
We're born at night
So much of our lives
Is just carving through the dark
To get so far
And the hardest part
Is who we are
It's who we are
You only feel it when it's lost
Getting through still has its cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Falling from you drop by drop
You only feel it when it's lost
Du spürst es nur, wenn es verloren ist
Getting through still has a cost
Durchkommen hat immer noch seinen Preis
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Leise, es entgleitet deinen Fingern, Liebe
Falling from you drop by drop
Es fällt von dir, Tropfen für Tropfen
What I had left here
Was ich hier zurückgelassen habe
I just held it tight
Ich habe es einfach festgehalten
So someone with your eyes
Damit jemand mit deinen Augen
Might come in time
Rechtzeitig kommen könnte
To hold me like water
Um mich wie Wasser zu halten
Or Christ, hold me like a knife
Oder Christus, halt mich wie ein Messer
We're born at night
Wir werden nachts geboren
So much of our lives
So viel von unserem Leben
Is just carving through the dark
Besteht nur darin, durch die Dunkelheit zu schnitzen
To get so far
Um so weit zu kommen
And the hardest part
Und der schwierigste Teil
Is who we are
Ist wer wir sind
It's who we are
Es ist wer wir sind
You and I burned out our steam
Du und ich haben unseren Dampf ausgebrannt
Chasing someone else's dream
Jemand anderes Traum verfolgend
How can something be so much heavier
Wie kann etwas so viel schwerer sein
But so much less than what it seems?
Aber so viel weniger als es scheint?
Darling, we sacrificed
Liebling, wir haben geopfert
We gave our time to something undefined
Wir haben unsere Zeit etwas undefiniertem gegeben
This phantom life
Dieses Phantomleben
Sharpens like an image
Schärft sich wie ein Bild
But it sharpens like a knife
Aber es schärft sich wie ein Messer
We're born at night
Wir werden nachts geboren
So much of our lives
So viel von unserem Leben
Is just carving through the dark
Besteht nur darin, durch die Dunkelheit zu schnitzen
To get so far
Um so weit zu kommen
And the hardest part
Und der schwierigste Teil
Is who we are
Ist wer wir sind
It's who we are
Es ist wer wir sind
You only feel it when it's lost
Du spürst es nur, wenn es verloren ist
Getting through still has its cost
Durchkommen hat immer noch seinen Preis
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Leise, es entgleitet deinen Fingern, Liebe
Falling from you drop by drop
Es fällt von dir, Tropfen für Tropfen
You only feel it when it's lost
Só sentes quando se perde
Getting through still has a cost
Passar por isso ainda tem um custo
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Silenciosamente, escorrega pelos teus dedos, amor
Falling from you drop by drop
Caindo de ti gota a gota
What I had left here
O que eu tinha deixado aqui
I just held it tight
Eu apenas segurei firme
So someone with your eyes
Para que alguém com teus olhos
Might come in time
Pudesse chegar a tempo
To hold me like water
Para me segurar como água
Or Christ, hold me like a knife
Ou Cristo, segura-me como uma faca
We're born at night
Nascemos à noite
So much of our lives
Tanto das nossas vidas
Is just carving through the dark
É apenas esculpir através da escuridão
To get so far
Para chegar tão longe
And the hardest part
E a parte mais difícil
Is who we are
É quem somos
It's who we are
É quem somos
You and I burned out our steam
Tu e eu esgotamos nosso vapor
Chasing someone else's dream
Perseguindo o sonho de outra pessoa
How can something be so much heavier
Como pode algo ser tão mais pesado
But so much less than what it seems?
Mas muito menos do que parece?
Darling, we sacrificed
Querida, nós sacrificamos
We gave our time to something undefined
Demos nosso tempo a algo indefinido
This phantom life
Esta vida fantasma
Sharpens like an image
Afiada como uma imagem
But it sharpens like a knife
Mas afia como uma faca
We're born at night
Nascemos à noite
So much of our lives
Tanto das nossas vidas
Is just carving through the dark
É apenas esculpir através da escuridão
To get so far
Para chegar tão longe
And the hardest part
E a parte mais difícil
Is who we are
É quem somos
It's who we are
É quem somos
You only feel it when it's lost
Só sentes quando se perde
Getting through still has its cost
Passar por isso ainda tem um custo
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Silenciosamente, escorrega pelos teus dedos, amor
Falling from you drop by drop
Caindo de ti gota a gota
You only feel it when it's lost
Solo lo sientes cuando se pierde
Getting through still has a cost
Atravesarlo aún tiene un costo
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Silenciosamente, se escapa entre tus dedos, amor
Falling from you drop by drop
Cayendo de ti gota a gota
What I had left here
Lo que me quedaba aquí
I just held it tight
Solo lo sujeté fuerte
So someone with your eyes
Así alguien con tus ojos
Might come in time
Podría llegar a tiempo
To hold me like water
Para sostenerme como agua
Or Christ, hold me like a knife
O Cristo, sosténme como un cuchillo
We're born at night
Nacemos en la noche
So much of our lives
Tanto de nuestras vidas
Is just carving through the dark
Es solo tallar a través de la oscuridad
To get so far
Para llegar tan lejos
And the hardest part
Y la parte más difícil
Is who we are
Es quienes somos
It's who we are
Es quienes somos
You and I burned out our steam
Tú y yo agotamos nuestro vapor
Chasing someone else's dream
Persiguiendo el sueño de alguien más
How can something be so much heavier
¿Cómo puede algo ser mucho más pesado
But so much less than what it seems?
Pero mucho menos de lo que parece?
Darling, we sacrificed
Querida, sacrificamos
We gave our time to something undefined
Dedicamos nuestro tiempo a algo indefinido
This phantom life
Esta vida fantasma
Sharpens like an image
Se afila como una imagen
But it sharpens like a knife
Pero se afila como un cuchillo
We're born at night
Nacemos en la noche
So much of our lives
Tanto de nuestras vidas
Is just carving through the dark
Es solo tallar a través de la oscuridad
To get so far
Para llegar tan lejos
And the hardest part
Y la parte más difícil
Is who we are
Es quienes somos
It's who we are
Es quienes somos
You only feel it when it's lost
Solo lo sientes cuando se pierde
Getting through still has its cost
Atravesarlo aún tiene un costo
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Silenciosamente, se escapa entre tus dedos, amor
Falling from you drop by drop
Cayendo de ti gota a gota
You only feel it when it's lost
On ne le ressent que lorsqu'il est perdu
Getting through still has a cost
Passer à travers a toujours un coût
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Doucement, il glisse entre tes doigts, l'amour
Falling from you drop by drop
Tombe de toi goutte par goutte
What I had left here
Ce que j'avais laissé ici
I just held it tight
Je l'ai simplement serré fort
So someone with your eyes
Pour que quelqu'un avec tes yeux
Might come in time
Puisse venir à temps
To hold me like water
Pour me tenir comme de l'eau
Or Christ, hold me like a knife
Ou Christ, me tenir comme un couteau
We're born at night
Nous naissons la nuit
So much of our lives
Tant de nos vies
Is just carving through the dark
C'est juste tailler à travers l'obscurité
To get so far
Pour aller si loin
And the hardest part
Et la partie la plus difficile
Is who we are
C'est qui nous sommes
It's who we are
C'est qui nous sommes
You and I burned out our steam
Toi et moi avons épuisé notre vapeur
Chasing someone else's dream
En poursuivant le rêve de quelqu'un d'autre
How can something be so much heavier
Comment quelque chose peut-il être si lourd
But so much less than what it seems?
Mais tellement moins que ce qu'il semble ?
Darling, we sacrificed
Chérie, nous avons sacrifié
We gave our time to something undefined
Nous avons donné notre temps à quelque chose d'indéfini
This phantom life
Cette vie fantôme
Sharpens like an image
S'affine comme une image
But it sharpens like a knife
Mais elle s'affine comme un couteau
We're born at night
Nous naissons la nuit
So much of our lives
Tant de nos vies
Is just carving through the dark
C'est juste tailler à travers l'obscurité
To get so far
Pour aller si loin
And the hardest part
Et la partie la plus difficile
Is who we are
C'est qui nous sommes
It's who we are
C'est qui nous sommes
You only feel it when it's lost
On ne le ressent que lorsqu'il est perdu
Getting through still has its cost
Passer à travers a toujours un coût
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Doucement, il glisse entre tes doigts, l'amour
Falling from you drop by drop
Tombe de toi goutte par goutte
You only feel it when it's lost
Lo senti solo quando è perso
Getting through still has a cost
Passarci attraverso ha ancora un costo
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Silenziosamente, scivola tra le tue dita, amore
Falling from you drop by drop
Cadendo da te goccia a goccia
What I had left here
Quello che avevo lasciato qui
I just held it tight
Lo tenevo stretto
So someone with your eyes
Così qualcuno con i tuoi occhi
Might come in time
Potrebbe arrivare in tempo
To hold me like water
Per tenermi come l'acqua
Or Christ, hold me like a knife
O Cristo, tienimi come un coltello
We're born at night
Siamo nati di notte
So much of our lives
Tanto delle nostre vite
Is just carving through the dark
È solo scavare nel buio
To get so far
Per arrivare così lontano
And the hardest part
E la parte più difficile
Is who we are
È chi siamo
It's who we are
È chi siamo
You and I burned out our steam
Tu ed io abbiamo esaurito il nostro vapore
Chasing someone else's dream
Inseguendo il sogno di qualcun altro
How can something be so much heavier
Come può qualcosa essere così pesante
But so much less than what it seems?
Ma molto meno di quello che sembra?
Darling, we sacrificed
Tesoro, abbiamo sacrificato
We gave our time to something undefined
Abbiamo dato il nostro tempo a qualcosa di indefinito
This phantom life
Questa vita fantasma
Sharpens like an image
Si affila come un'immagine
But it sharpens like a knife
Ma si affila come un coltello
We're born at night
Siamo nati di notte
So much of our lives
Tanto delle nostre vite
Is just carving through the dark
È solo scavare nel buio
To get so far
Per arrivare così lontano
And the hardest part
E la parte più difficile
Is who we are
È chi siamo
It's who we are
È chi siamo
You only feel it when it's lost
Lo senti solo quando è perso
Getting through still has its cost
Passarci attraverso ha ancora un costo
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Silenziosamente, scivola tra le tue dita, amore
Falling from you drop by drop
Cadendo da te goccia a goccia
