The Wages by Hozier
Lyrics & Translation
English
Although many contend
You may find hope ascend
To mark just how everything changes
Whether the temperature highs
Or the sea level rising
It's all going up but the wages
And murdered reporters
And talk of hard borders
Sky-bound as a heavenly choir
Or the stock price in Boeing
The screams of the dying
Or the skies over Yemen last night
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
Don't mention the rent
Or the money that's spent
Keeping the banks in good health
Or ridiculous claims
Or the level of blame
Pointed to anything else
And preachy musicians
And those stuck in prison
With scarcely enough for a blunt
Or the pressure of blood
That new hotel in the hood
With an oligarch's name on the front
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills
Even though the city's on fire
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills
Even though the city's on fire
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time

The Wages (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Aunque muchos sostienen
Puede que encuentres la esperanza ascender
Para marcar cómo todo cambia
Ya sean las altas temperaturas
O el nivel del mar subiendo
Todo sube menos los salarios
Y reporteros asesinados
Y hablar de fronteras duras
Elevándose como un coro celestial
O el precio de las acciones de Boeing
Los gritos de los moribundos
O los cielos sobre Yemen anoche
Todo sube menos los salarios
Y quizás sea el momento
Todo sube menos los salarios
Y quizás sea el momento
No menciones el alquiler
O el dinero que se gasta
Manteniendo los bancos en buena salud
O afirmaciones ridículas
O el nivel de culpa
Apuntado a cualquier otra cosa
Y músicos moralistas
Y aquellos atrapados en prisión
Con apenas suficiente para un porro
O la presión de la sangre
Ese nuevo hotel en el barrio
Con el nombre de un oligarca en la fachada
Todo sube menos los salarios
Y quizás sea el momento
Todo sube menos los salarios
Y quizás sea el momento
Todo sube con el aumento en las facturas de calefacción
Aunque la ciudad esté en llamas
Todo sube menos los salarios
Y quizás sea el momento
Más y más alto y más alto
Más y más alto y más alto
Más y más alto y más alto
Más y más alto y más alto
Más y más alto y más alto
Más y más alto y más alto
Todo sube menos los salarios
Y quizás sea el momento
Todo sube menos los salarios
Y quizás sea el momento
Todo sube con el aumento en las facturas de calefacción
Aunque la ciudad esté en llamas
Todo sube menos los salarios
Y quizás sea el momento
