The Sickness by Future Islands
Lyrics & Translation
English
We had it all
We had a way of speaking, all to us
We had a way of being in love
It was the only thing I knew for sure
And now, everything's a mystery
The sickness came in like a freight train
And swept us up into small towns
The curfews pushed us to sundown
And we were caught in two places
I, I had to watch it fall apart from here
You had to watch it disappear
And now, no matter what we say or do, it's clear
Our wilderness, now sober
A newness on the land
A wetness indebted to all these tears
And the hardest part, pretending nothing's wrong
While we were fading deep into ourselves
But loving you always allayed my fear, it's clear
I can't release this feeling
The sickness came in like a freight train
And swept us up into small towns
The sadness pushed us 'til run down
And our love died in two places
I, I had to watch it fall apart from here
You had to watch it disappear
And die, I was no comfort close to hold you, dear
Outside, the virus still blooming
And all that pressure lies and builds
'Til we submit to the enemy inside
Would you lie?
Would you lie?
Would you lie, tell me?
"Everything's alright"
Would you lie?
Would you lie?
Would you lie?
But you never lied to me
Would you lie this time?

The Sickness (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Lo teníamos todo
Teníamos una forma de hablar, todo para nosotros
Teníamos una forma de estar enamorados
Era lo único que sabía con certeza
Y ahora, todo es un misterio
La enfermedad llegó como un tren de carga
Y nos arrastró a pueblos pequeños
Los toques de queda nos empujaron al anochecer
Y quedamos atrapados en dos lugares
Yo, yo tuve que verlo desmoronarse desde aquí
Tuviste que verlo desaparecer
Y ahora, no importa lo que digamos o hagamos, está claro
Nuestra naturaleza salvaje, ahora sobria
Una novedad en la tierra
Una humedad en deuda con todas estas lágrimas
Y la parte más difícil, fingir que nada está mal
Mientras nos desvanecíamos profundamente en nosotros mismos
Pero amarte siempre calmó mi miedo, está claro
No puedo liberar este sentimiento
La enfermedad llegó como un tren de carga
Y nos arrastró a pueblos pequeños
La tristeza nos empujó hasta el agotamiento
Y nuestro amor murió en dos lugares
Yo, yo tuve que verlo desmoronarse desde aquí
Tuviste que verlo desaparecer
Y morir, no fui consuelo cerca para abrazarte, querido
Afuera, el virus sigue floreciendo
Y toda esa presión miente y se acumula
Hasta que nos sometamos al enemigo interior
¿Mentirías?
¿Mentirías?
¿Mentirías, dime?
"Todo está bien"
¿Mentirías?
¿Mentirías?
¿Mentirías?
Pero nunca me mentiste
¿Mentirías esta vez?
