The Thief by Future Islands
Lyrics & Translation
English
I never had a place to call my own
And slept so many nights out all alone
I spent so many hours slowly breaking in
And finally found someone who'd let me in
But if I said too much, please let me know
It wouldn't be the first time I've been told
I got this darkened tongue from this bitter cold
Needed a little light to follow home
I'd tip-toe past the lights, I'd hit the glow
Another silent night, found no one home
This bric-a-brac has life that someone knows
A pit-er-pat, of life, that I've been shown
So I sit on my hands now
Sit on my hands now
Sit on my hands now
When you leave
I sit on my hands now
Sit on my hands now
Sit on my hands
A little thief
I know, I've been gone
I've been here all along
Hidden in the things you keep
Treasures that you went and buried deep
But if I said too much, please let me know
It wouldn't be the first time I've been told
I got this darkened tongue from this bitter cold
Needed a little light to follow home
I couldn't count the windows, open doors
Footprints through the garden, across muddy floors
Another pack of Newports, credit cards
The things left from a childhood, wanting more
So I sit on my hands now
Sit on my hands now
Sit on my hands now
When you leave
I sit on my hands now
Sit on my hands now
Sit on my hands
A little thief
And I know I was gone
I was here all along
Hidden in the things you keep
Treasures that you went and buried deep in the drawer
I know, I've been wrong
But I was barely holding on
Hidden in the things you keep
Treasures now forbidden, buried deep in the drawer
Gave you my life
Gave you my heart
Gave you my soul
Deep in the dark
When I saw your light
I knew I was home
But I'm all alone now

The Thief (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Nunca tuve un lugar al que llamar mío
Y dormí tantas noches completamente solo
Pasé tantas horas entrando lentamente
Y finalmente encontré a alguien que me dejara entrar
Pero si dije demasiado, por favor házmelo saber
No sería la primera vez que me lo dicen
Tengo esta lengua oscurecida por este frío amargo
Necesitaba un poco de luz para seguir a casa
Pasaría de puntillas por las luces, tocaría el resplandor
Otra noche silenciosa, no encontré a nadie en casa
Este cachivache tiene vida que alguien conoce
Un latido, de vida, que me han mostrado
Así que me quedo de brazos cruzados ahora
Me quedo de brazos cruzados ahora
Me quedo de brazos cruzados ahora
Cuando te vayas
Me quedo de brazos cruzados ahora
Me quedo de brazos cruzados ahora
Me quedo de brazos cruzados
Un pequeño ladrón
Lo sé, me he ido
He estado aquí todo el tiempo
Escondido en las cosas que guardas
Tesoros que fuiste y enterraste profundo
Pero si dije demasiado, por favor házmelo saber
No sería la primera vez que me lo dicen
Tengo esta lengua oscurecida por este frío amargo
Necesitaba un poco de luz para seguir a casa
No podía contar las ventanas, las puertas abiertas
Huellas por el jardín, a través de suelos embarrados
Otro paquete de Newports, tarjetas de crédito
Las cosas que quedaron de una infancia, queriendo más
Así que me quedo de brazos cruzados ahora
Me quedo de brazos cruzados ahora
Me quedo de brazos cruzados ahora
Cuando te vayas
Me quedo de brazos cruzados ahora
Me quedo de brazos cruzados ahora
Me quedo de brazos cruzados
Un pequeño ladrón
Y sé que me había ido
Estuve aquí todo el tiempo
Escondido en las cosas que guardas
Tesoros que fuiste y enterraste profundo en el cajón
Lo sé, me he equivocado
Pero apenas me aferraba
Escondido en las cosas que guardas
Tesoros ahora prohibidos, enterrados profundo en el cajón
Te di mi vida
Te di mi corazón
Te di mi alma
Profundo en la oscuridad
Cuando vi tu luz
Supe que estaba en casa
Pero estoy completamente solo ahora
