Desperate Things
Brandon Flowers, Jonathan Rado
She was doing sixty in a thirty-five
I hit the lights and pulled her over
When I reached the window of the driver side
There was blood from her mouth, dry on her shoulder
I've never had much patience for guys that hit
For more than just obvious reasons
I asked if she wanted me to take him in
She laughed it off like lemonade
When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
People do desperate things
I've been taking lunch breaks at her work
When the restaurant ain't too crowded
She knows me and my wife got a little girl
We don't talk too much about it
The other night she met me way out west
Things went further than they should have
When she undid the buttons of her dress
I didn't stop her, but I could have
When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
But when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
People do desperate things
I know where he drinks most every night
It's our local hero sports bar
I've got him cuffed and sweating cold
In the back of my patrol car
You forget how dark the canyon gets
It's a real uneasy feeling
I've never had much patience for guys who hit
For more than just obvious reasons
When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
But when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
People do desperate things
She was doing sixty in a thirty-five
Sie fuhr sechzig in einer Fünfunddreißigerzone
I hit the lights and pulled her over
Ich schaltete die Lichter ein und hielt sie an
When I reached the window of the driver side
Als ich das Fenster auf der Fahrerseite erreichte
There was blood from her mouth, dry on her shoulder
War Blut aus ihrem Mund, trocken auf ihrer Schulter
I've never had much patience for guys that hit
Ich hatte nie viel Geduld mit Typen, die schlagen
For more than just obvious reasons
Aus mehr als nur offensichtlichen Gründen
I asked if she wanted me to take him in
Ich fragte, ob sie wollte, dass ich ihn reinnehme
She laughed it off like lemonade
Sie lachte es weg wie Limonade
When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
Wenn du verliebt bist, kannst du von deinem eigenen Herzen geblendet werden
You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
Du wirst deine eigene Wahrheit verbiegen, so verdreht, dass du Sünde rechtfertigen könntest
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
Und wenn Menschen in der Liebe verzweifelt genug sind, ihre Träume aufzugeben
People do desperate things
Menschen tun verzweifelte Dinge
I've been taking lunch breaks at her work
Ich mache Mittagspausen bei ihrer Arbeit
When the restaurant ain't too crowded
Wenn das Restaurant nicht zu voll ist
She knows me and my wife got a little girl
Sie weiß, dass ich und meine Frau ein kleines Mädchen haben
We don't talk too much about it
Wir reden nicht zu viel darüber
The other night she met me way out west
Die andere Nacht traf sie mich weit im Westen
Things went further than they should have
Dinge gingen weiter als sie hätten sollen
When she undid the buttons of her dress
Als sie die Knöpfe ihres Kleides öffnete
I didn't stop her, but I could have
Ich habe sie nicht gestoppt, aber ich hätte es gekonnt
When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
Wenn du verliebt bist, kannst du von deinem eigenen Herzen geblendet werden
You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
Du wirst deine eigene Wahrheit verbiegen, so verdreht, dass du Sünde rechtfertigen könntest
But when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
Aber wenn Menschen in der Liebe verzweifelt genug sind, ihre Träume aufzugeben
People do desperate things
Menschen tun verzweifelte Dinge
I know where he drinks most every night
Ich weiß, wo er fast jede Nacht trinkt
It's our local hero sports bar
Es ist unsere lokale Helden-Sportbar
I've got him cuffed and sweating cold
Ich habe ihn gefesselt und kalt schwitzend
In the back of my patrol car
Im hinteren Teil meines Streifenwagens
You forget how dark the canyon gets
Man vergisst, wie dunkel die Schlucht wird
It's a real uneasy feeling
Es ist ein wirklich unangenehmes Gefühl
I've never had much patience for guys who hit
Ich hatte nie viel Geduld mit Typen, die schlagen
For more than just obvious reasons
Aus mehr als nur offensichtlichen Gründen
When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
Wenn du verliebt bist, kannst du von deinem eigenen Herzen geblendet werden

She was doing sixty in a thirty-five
Ela estava a sessenta numa de trinta e cinco
I hit the lights and pulled her over
Acendi as luzes e a parei
When I reached the window of the driver side
Quando cheguei à janela do lado do motorista
There was blood from her mouth, dry on her shoulder
Havia sangue de sua boca, seco em seu ombro
I've never had much patience for guys that hit
Nunca tive muita paciência para caras que batem
For more than just obvious reasons
Por mais do que apenas razões óbvias
I asked if she wanted me to take him in
Perguntei se ela queria que eu o prendesse
She laughed it off like lemonade
Ela riu como se fosse limonada
When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
Quando você está apaixonado, pode ser cegado pelo seu próprio coração
You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
Você vai distorcer sua própria verdade, tão torcida que poderia justificar o pecado
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
E quando as pessoas apaixonadas estão desesperadas o suficiente para abandonar seus sonhos
People do desperate things
As pessoas fazem coisas desesperadas
I've been taking lunch breaks at her work
Tenho almoçado no trabalho dela
When the restaurant ain't too crowded
Quando o restaurante não está muito cheio
She knows me and my wife got a little girl
Ela sabe que eu e minha esposa temos uma menina
We don't talk too much about it
Não falamos muito sobre isso
The other night she met me way out west
Na outra noite ela me encontrou bem ao oeste
Things went further than they should have
As coisas foram mais longe do que deveriam
When she undid the buttons of her dress
Quando ela desabotoou os botões de seu vestido
I didn't stop her, but I could have
Eu não a impedi, mas poderia ter
When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
Quando você está apaixonado, pode ser cegado pelo seu próprio coração
You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
Você vai distorcer sua própria verdade, tão torcida que poderia justificar o pecado
But when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
Mas quando as pessoas apaixonadas estão desesperadas o suficiente para abandonar seus sonhos
People do desperate things
As pessoas fazem coisas desesperadas
I know where he drinks most every night
Sei onde ele bebe quase todas as noites
It's our local hero sports bar
É o nosso bar esportivo herói local
I've got him cuffed and sweating cold
Eu o tenho algemado e suando frio
In the back of my patrol car
No banco de trás do meu carro de patrulha
You forget how dark the canyon gets
Você esquece o quão escuro o cânion fica
It's a real uneasy feeling
É uma sensação realmente desconfortável
I've never had much patience for guys who hit
Nunca tive muita paciência para caras que batem
For more than just obvious reasons
Por mais do que apenas razões óbvias
When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart

Stava andando a sessanta in una trentacinque

Ho acceso le luci e l'ho fermata
