Pyramids by Frank Ocean
Lyrics & Translation
English
Set the cheetahs on the loose
There's a thief out on the move
Underneath our legion's view
They have taken Cleopatra
Run run run come back for my glory
(Cleopatra, Cleopatra)
Bring her back to me
(Cleopatra, hey oh Patra eh eh Cleopatra)
Run run run the crown of our pharaoh
(Cleopatra, Cleopatra)
The throne of our queen is empty
(Hey oh' Patra, Cleopatra)
And we'll run to the future
Shining like diamonds in a rocky world
A rocky, rocky world
Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere
As we march to the rhythm
On the palace floor
Chandeliers inside the pyramids
Tremble from the force
Cymbals crash inside the pyramids
Voices fill up the halls
Set the cheetahs on the loose
There's a thief out on the move
Underneath our legion's view
They have taken Cleopatra, Cleopatra
The jewel of Africa
(Jewel)
What good is a jewel that ain't still precious
How could you run off on me?
How could you run off on us?
You feel like God inside that gold
I found you laying down with Samson
And his full head of hair
I found my black queen Cleopatra
Bad dreams Cleopatra
Remove her
Send the cheetahs to the tomb
Our war is over, our queen has met her doom
No more she lives, no more serpent in her room
No more, he has killed Cleopatra, Cleopatra
Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds
Wake up to your girl for now let's call her Cleopatra, Cleopatra
I watch you fix your hair
Then put your panties on in the mirror, Cleopatra
Then your lipstick, Cleopatra
Then your six-inch heels
Catch her
She's headed to the pyramid
She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Pimping in my convos
Bubbles in my champagne
Let it be some jazz playing
Top floor motel suite, twisting my cigars
Floor model TV with the VCR
Got rubies in my damn chain
Whip ain't got no gas tank
But it still got woodgrain
Got your girl working for me
Hit the strip and my bills paid
That keep my bills paid
Hit the strip and my bills paid
Keep a nigga bills paid
She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
You showed up after work I'm bathing your body
Touch you in places only I know
You're wet and you're warm just like our bathwater
Can we make love before you go
The way you say my name makes me feel like
I'm that nigga
But I'm still unemployed
You say it's big but you take it
Ride cowgirl
But your love ain't free no more, baby
But your love ain't free no more
She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
That's right
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight

Pyramids (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Suelten a los guepardos
Hay un ladrón en movimiento
Bajo la vista de nuestra legión
Se han llevado a Cleopatra
Corre corre corre vuelve por mi gloria
(Cleopatra, Cleopatra)
Tráiganla de vuelta a mí
(Cleopatra, hey oh Patra eh eh Cleopatra)
Corre corre corre la corona de nuestro faraón
(Cleopatra, Cleopatra)
El trono de nuestra reina está vacío
(Hey oh' Patra, Cleopatra)
Y correremos hacia el futuro
Brillando como diamantes en un mundo rocoso
Un mundo rocoso, rocoso
Nuestra piel como bronce y nuestro cabello como cachemira
Mientras marchamos al ritmo
En el suelo del palacio
Candelabros dentro de las pirámides
Tiemblan por la fuerza
Platillos chocan dentro de las pirámides
Voces llenan los pasillos
Suelten a los guepardos
Hay un ladrón en movimiento
Bajo la vista de nuestra legión
Se han llevado a Cleopatra, Cleopatra
La joya de África
(Jewel)
De qué sirve una joya que ya no es preciosa
¿Cómo pudiste huir de mí?
¿Cómo pudiste huir de nosotros?
Te sientes como Dios dentro de ese oro
Te encontré acostada con Sansón
Y su cabellera completa
Encontré a mi reina negra Cleopatra
Malos sueños Cleopatra
Quítenla
Envíen a los guepardos a la tumba
Nuestra guerra ha terminado, nuestra reina ha encontrado su perdición
Ya no vive, ya no hay serpiente en su habitación
Ya no más, él ha matado a Cleopatra, Cleopatra
Gran sol entrando fuerte por las persianas del motel
Despierta con tu chica, por ahora llamémosla Cleopatra, Cleopatra
Te veo arreglarte el cabello
Luego ponerte las bragas frente al espejo, Cleopatra
Luego tu lápiz labial, Cleopatra
Luego tus tacones de seis pulgadas
Atrápala
Se dirige a la pirámide
Está trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Prostituyendo en mis conversaciones
Burbujas en mi champán
Que suene algo de jazz
Suite de motel en el último piso, torciendo mis cigarros
TV de modelo de piso con la videocasetera
Tengo rubíes en mi maldita cadena
El coche no tiene tanque de gasolina
Pero aún tiene vetas de madera
Tu chica está trabajando para mí
Voy al strip y mis cuentas están pagadas
Eso mantiene mis cuentas pagadas
Voy al strip y mis cuentas están pagadas
Mantiene las cuentas de un negro pagadas
Está trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Llegaste después del trabajo, estoy bañando tu cuerpo
Te toco en lugares que solo yo conozco
Estás mojada y cálida como el agua de nuestro baño
¿Podemos hacer el amor antes de que te vayas?
La forma en que dices mi nombre me hace sentir como
Soy ese negro
Pero sigo desempleado
Dices que es grande pero lo tomas
Monta vaquera
Pero tu amor ya no es gratis, nena
Pero tu amor ya no es gratis
Está trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Así es
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
Trabajando en la pirámide
Trabajando en la pirámide esta noche
