Jackie And Wilson by Hozier
Lyrics & Translation
English
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
So deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine
For reasons wretched and divine
She blows outta nowhere, roman candle of the wild
Laughing away through my feeble disguise
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
And, Lord, she found me just in time
'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
I need to be youthfully felt 'cause, God, I never felt young
She's gonna save me
Call me "baby"
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus
Be detectives
Ride 'round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
Sit back and watch the world go by
Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us
She's gonna save me
Call me "baby"
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus
Be detectives
Ride 'round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
Cut clean from the dream at night let my mind reset
Looking up from a cigarette, and she's already left
I start digging up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette
For whatever poor soul is coming next
She's gonna save me
Call me "baby"
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus
Be detectives
Ride 'round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

Jackie And Wilson (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Tan cansado de intentar ver detrás del rojo de mis ojos
No hay mejor versión de mí que pudiera fingir ser esta noche
Tan profundo en esta bazofia con los cerdos más familiares
Por razones miserables y divinas
Ella aparece de la nada, bengala romana de lo salvaje
Riendo a través de mi débil disfraz
No hay otra versión de mí que preferiría ser esta noche
Y, Señor, ella me encontró justo a tiempo
Porque con mi crisis de la mediana edad todo dicho y hecho
Necesito sentirme joven porque, Dios, nunca me sentí joven
Ella va a salvarme
Llamarme "cariño"
Pasar sus manos por mi pelo
Me conocerá loco
Calmarme a diario
Mejor aún, no le importaría
Robaremos su Lexus
Seremos detectives
Conducir recogiendo pistas
Nombraremos a nuestros hijos
Jackie y Wilson
Los criaremos con rhythm and blues
Señor, sería genial encontrar un lugar al que pudiéramos escapar alguna vez
Yo y mi Isis cultivando lirios negros bajo el sol
Cada versión de mí muerta y enterrada en el patio de afuera
Sentarme y ver el mundo pasar
Feliz de recostarme y verlo arder y oxidarse
Probamos el mundo, Dios mío, no era para nosotros
Ella va a salvarme
Llamarme "cariño"
Pasar sus manos por mi pelo
Me conocerá loco
Calmarme a diario
Mejor aún, no le importaría
Robaremos su Lexus
Seremos detectives
Conducir recogiendo pistas
Nombraremos a nuestros hijos
Jackie y Wilson
Los criaremos con rhythm and blues
Cortado limpiamente del sueño por la noche, que mi mente se reinicie
Levantando la vista de un cigarrillo, y ella ya se ha ido
Empiezo a cavar en el patio por lo que queda de mí y de nuestra pequeña viñeta
Para cualquier pobre alma que venga después
Ella va a salvarme
Llamarme "cariño"
Pasar sus manos por mi pelo
Me conocerá loco
Calmarme a diario
Mejor aún, no le importaría
Robaremos su Lexus
Seremos detectives
Conducir recogiendo pistas
Nombraremos a nuestros hijos
Jackie y Wilson
Los criaremos con rhythm and blues
