Lyrics & Translation
English
If I'm a desert,
My face is the wind
I know where I'm going
And I know where I've been
You're the horizon and the wide open space
And I surround you caressing your face
There's not a limit to the things that I'd do
I'd give you stars but the stars wouldn't do
You're like the lava burning buried below
An eruption but too early to show
We are islands
Hear our sirens
And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
'Cause when pressure heightens
Our coal makes diamonds
And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me)
We wait... (wait, down, wait, down)
The flood comes shifting the soil
Our blood runs thicker than oil
It's like erosion cutting straight to the core
No human nature ever felt this before
And we become an unbreakable vow
I wanna hold you up, higher than most
Because it feels like flying out
We are islands
Hear our sirens
And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
'Cause when pressure heightens
Our coal makes diamonds
And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me)
We wait... (wait, down, wait, down)
(Wait, down, in front of me)
We are islands
Hear our sirens
And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
'Cause when pressure heightens
Our coal makes diamonds
And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me)
We wait... (wait, down, wait, down)
Wait, down, in front of me.
Wait, down.

Coal Makes Diamonds (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Si soy un desierto,
Mi cara es el viento
Sé adónde voy
Y sé dónde he estado
Eres el horizonte y el espacio abierto
Y te rodeo acariciando tu rostro
No hay límite para las cosas que haría
Te daría estrellas pero las estrellas no bastarían
Eres como la lava ardiendo enterrada debajo
Una erupción pero demasiado pronto para mostrar
Somos islas
Escucha nuestras sirenas
Y así esperamos... (espera, abajo, ponlo justo delante de mí)
Esperamos... (espera, abajo, ponlo justo delante de mí)
Porque cuando la presión aumenta
Nuestro carbón hace diamantes
Y así esperamos... (espera, abajo, delante de mí)
Esperamos... (espera, abajo, espera, abajo)
La inundación viene moviendo la tierra
Nuestra sangre es más espesa que el aceite
Es como la erosión cortando directo al núcleo
Ninguna naturaleza humana sintió esto antes
Y nos convertimos en un voto inquebrantable
Quiero sostenerte, más alto que la mayoría
Porque se siente como volar
Somos islas
Escucha nuestras sirenas
Y así esperamos... (espera, abajo, ponlo justo delante de mí)
Esperamos... (espera, abajo, ponlo justo delante de mí)
Porque cuando la presión aumenta
Nuestro carbón hace diamantes
Y así esperamos... (espera, abajo, delante de mí)
Esperamos... (espera, abajo, espera, abajo)
(Espera, abajo, delante de mí)
Somos islas
Escucha nuestras sirenas
Y así esperamos... (espera, abajo, ponlo justo delante de mí)
Esperamos... (espera, abajo, ponlo justo delante de mí)
Porque cuando la presión aumenta
Nuestro carbón hace diamantes
Y así esperamos... (espera, abajo, delante de mí)
Esperamos... (espera, abajo, espera, abajo)
Espera, abajo, delante de mí.
Espera, abajo.
