Lyrics & Translation
English
Ancient like the water
Dissolves my selfish leanings and all the others
Guide me
You beside me
With conviction—my lost invention
My child is starving
But you keep me, you keep me
I've been locked and you're the key
You keep me, you keep me
You keep me 'til I'm ready to be free
Too many wasted days and nights
Obsessed with the flickering bits of my life
Forgetting what giving and living can be—what it can mean
First forgiving myself and stepping outside of my own apathy
To see, I just want to be
Patient like the forest
Stood through thousands fallen
Watched the changing evening a million times or more
Lead me to the water
Take me to the other side
And know how much it means, to me
Cuz you keep me, you keep me
I've been locked and you're the key
Too many wasted days and nights
Obsessed with the flickering bits of my life
I've forgotten what giving and living can be—what it can mean
First steps to being better is doing the smallest things
Cuz you keep me, you keep me
You keep me I've been locked and you're the key
You keep me, you keep me
You keep me 'til I'm strong enough to see
To be free

Ancient Water* (original Future Islands)
Ancient like the water
Dissolves my selfish leanings and all the others
Guide me
You beside me
With conviction—my lost invention
My child is starving
But you keep me, you keep me
I've been locked and you're the key
You keep me, you keep me
You keep me 'til I'm ready to be free
Too many wasted days and nights
Obsessed with the flickering bits of my life
Forgetting what giving and living can be—what it can mean
First forgiving myself and stepping outside of my own apathy
To see, I just want to be
Patient like the forest
Stood through thousands fallen
Watched the changing evening a million times or more
Lead me to the water
Take me to the other side
And know how much it means, to me
Cuz you keep me, you keep me
I've been locked and you're the key
Too many wasted days and nights
Obsessed with the flickering bits of my life
I've forgotten what giving and living can be—what it can mean
First steps to being better is doing the smallest things
Cuz you keep me, you keep me
You keep me I've been locked and you're the key
You keep me, you keep me
You keep me 'til I'm strong enough to see
To be free
Ancient Water (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Antigua como el agua
Disuelve mis inclinaciones egoístas y todas las demás
Guíame
Tú a mi lado
Con convicción—mi invención perdida
Mi hijo está hambriento
Pero me mantienes, me mantienes
He estado encerrado y tú eres la llave
Me mantienes, me mantienes
Me mantienes hasta que esté listo para ser libre
Demasiados días y noches desperdiciados
Obsesionado con los fragmentos parpadeantes de mi vida
Olvidando lo que dar y vivir puede ser—lo que puede significar
Primero perdonándome a mí mismo y saliendo de mi propia apatía
Para ver, solo quiero ser
Paciente como el bosque
Se mantuvo a través de miles caídos
Observó el atardecer cambiante un millón de veces o más
Llévame al agua
Llévame al otro lado
Y saber cuánto significa, para mí
Porque me mantienes, me mantienes
He estado encerrado y tú eres la llave
Demasiados días y noches desperdiciados
Obsesionado con los fragmentos parpadeantes de mi vida
He olvidado lo que dar y vivir puede ser—lo que puede significar
Los primeros pasos para ser mejor es hacer las cosas más pequeñas
Porque me mantienes, me mantienes
Me mantienes, he estado encerrado y tú eres la llave
Me mantienes, me mantienes
Me mantienes hasta que sea lo suficientemente fuerte para ver
Para ser libre
