Swan Upon Leda by Hozier
Lyrics & Translation
English
A husband waits outside
A crying child pushes a child into the night
She was told he would come this time
Without leaving so much as a feather behind
To enact at last the perfect plan
One more sweet boy to be butchered by men
But the gateway to the world
Was still outside the reach of him
Would never belong to angels
Had never belonged to men
The swan upon Leda
Empire upon Jerusalem
A grandmother smuggling meds
Past where the god child-soldier Setanta stood dead
Our graceful turner of heads
Weaves through the checkpoints like a needle and thread
Someone's frightened boy waves her on
She offers a mother's smile and soon she's gone
The gateway to the world
The gun in a trembling hand
Where nature unmakes the boundary
The pillar of myth still stands
The swan upon Leda
Occupier upon ancient land
The gateway to the world
Was still outside the reach of him
Would never belong to angels
Had never belonged to men

Spanish translation of Swan Upon Leda by Hozier
Swan Upon Leda* (original Hozier)
A husband waits outside
A crying child pushes a child into the night
She was told he would come this time
Without leaving so much as a feather behind
To enact at last the perfect plan
One more sweet boy to be butchered by men
But the gateway to the world
Was still outside the reach of him
Would never belong to angels
Had never belonged to men
The swan upon Leda
Empire upon Jerusalem
A grandmother smuggling meds
Past where the god child-soldier Setanta stood dead
Our graceful turner of heads
Weaves through the checkpoints like a needle and thread
Someone's frightened boy waves her on
She offers a mother's smile and soon she's gone
The gateway to the world
The gun in a trembling hand
Where nature unmakes the boundary
The pillar of myth still stands
The swan upon Leda
Occupier upon ancient land
The gateway to the world
Was still outside the reach of him
Would never belong to angels
Had never belonged to men
Swan Upon Leda (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Un marido espera afuera
Un niño que llora empuja a un niño hacia la noche
Le dijeron que él vendría esta vez
Sin dejar siquiera una pluma atrás
Para ejecutar por fin el plan perfecto
Un dulce niño más para ser masacrado por hombres
Pero la puerta al mundo
Todavía estaba fuera de su alcance
Nunca pertenecería a los ángeles
Nunca había pertenecido a los hombres
El cisne sobre Leda
Imperio sobre Jerusalén
Una abuela contrabandeando medicinas
Más allá de donde el dios niño-soldado Setanta yacía muerto
Nuestra elegante giradora de cabezas
Se abre paso por los puestos de control como aguja e hilo
El niño asustado de alguien le hace señas para que siga
Ofrece una sonrisa de madre y pronto se ha ido
La puerta al mundo
El arma en una mano temblorosa
Donde la naturaleza deshace la frontera
El pilar del mito aún se mantiene
El cisne sobre Leda
Ocupante sobre tierra antigua
La puerta al mundo
Todavía estaba fuera de su alcance
Nunca pertenecería a los ángeles
Nunca había pertenecido a los hombres
