Shrike by Hozier
Lyrics & Translation
English
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
The words hung above
But never would form
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
Remember me love when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
I had no idea on what ground I was founded
All of that goodness is going with you now
Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is going with you now
Dragging along
Follow in your form
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
Remember me love when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
I was housed by your warmth
Thus transformed
By your grounded and giving
And darkening scorn
Remember me love when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn

Shrike* (original Hozier)
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
The words hung above
But never would form
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
Remember me love when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
I had no idea on what ground I was founded
All of that goodness is going with you now
Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is going with you now
Dragging along
Follow in your form
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
Remember me love when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now

Thus transformed
By your grounded and giving
And darkening scorn
Remember me love when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
Shrike (traducción LyricVerse Team)
No pude pronunciar mi amor cuando importaba
Ah, pero ahora canto como un pájaro al respecto
Y no pude susurrar cuando necesitabas que gritara
Ah, pero ahora canto como un pájaro al respecto
Las palabras pendían
Pero nunca se formaron
Como un grito en el último aliento que se exhala
Recuérdame, amor, cuando renazca
Como el alcaudón a tu afilada
Y gloriosa espina
No tenía idea de en qué terreno me fundaba
Toda esa bondad se va contigo ahora
Luego, cuando te conocí, mis virtudes incontables
Toda mi bondad se va contigo ahora
Arrastrándome
Siguiendo tu forma
Colgado como la piel de alguna presa que habías usado
Recuérdame, amor, cuando renazca
Como el alcaudón a tu afilada
Y gloriosa espina
Huí a la ciudad con tanto descuento
Ah, pero ahora vuelo como un pájaro hacia ti
De vuelta a los setos donde los cuerpos están montados
Ah, pero ahora vuelo como un pájaro hacia ti
Fui albergado por tu calor
Así transformado
Por tu arraigado y generoso
Y oscurecedor desprecio
Recuérdame, amor, cuando renazca
Como el alcaudón a tu afilada
Y gloriosa espina
