Lyrics & Translation
English
She is a pyramid
But with him she's just a grain of sand
This love's too strong like mice and men
Squeezing out the life that should be let in
She was a hurricane (-cane, -cane, -cane)
But now she's just a gust of wind
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships
Was a force to be reckoned with
She could be a Statue of Liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
Oh, she used to be a pearl
Yeah, she used to rule the world
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
'Cause she used to be a pearl
She was unstoppable
Moved fast just like an avalanche
But now she's stuck deep in cement
Wishing that they'd never ever met
She could be a Statue of Liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
Oh, she used to be a pearl
Yeah, she used to rule the world
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
'Cause she used to be a—
Do you know that there's a way out,
There's a way out
There's a way out
There's a way out?
You don't have to be held down,
Be held down
Be held down
Be held down
'Cause I used to be a shell
Yeah, I let him rule my world, my world
But I woke up and grew strong
And I can still go on
And no one can take my pearl
You don't have to be a shell, no
You're the one that rules your world, oh
You are strong
And you'll learn that you can still go on
And you'll always be a—a pearl
She is unstoppable

Pearl (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Ella es una pirámide
Pero con él es solo un grano de arena
Este amor es muy fuerte como ratones y hombres
Exprimiendo la vida que debería ser permitida
Ella era un huracán (-cán, -cán, -cán)
Pero ahora es solo una ráfaga de viento
Solía izar las velas de mil barcos
Era una fuerza a tener en cuenta
Podría ser una Estatua de la Libertad
Podría ser una Juana de Arco
Pero él le teme a la luz que hay dentro de ella
Así que la mantiene en la oscuridad
Oh, ella solía ser una perla
Sí, ella solía gobernar el mundo
No puedo creer que se haya convertido en una sombra de sí misma
Porque ella solía ser una perla
Ella era imparable
Se movía rápido como una avalancha
Pero ahora está atrapada en cemento
Deseando que nunca se hubieran conocido
Podría ser una Estatua de la Libertad
Podría ser una Juana de Arco
Pero él le teme a la luz que hay dentro de ella
Así que la mantiene en la oscuridad
Oh, ella solía ser una perla
Sí, ella solía gobernar el mundo
No puedo creer que se haya convertido en una sombra de sí misma
Porque ella solía ser una—
¿Sabes que hay una salida,
Hay una salida
Hay una salida
¿Hay una salida?
No tienes que estar oprimida,
Estar oprimida
Estar oprimida
Estar oprimida
Porque yo solía ser una sombra
Sí, lo dejé gobernar mi mundo, mi mundo
Pero desperté y me hice fuerte
Y aún puedo seguir adelante
Y nadie puede quitarme mi perla
No tienes que ser una sombra, no
Tú eres quien gobierna tu mundo, oh
Eres fuerte
Y aprenderás que aún puedes seguir adelante
Y siempre serás una—una perla
Ella es imparable
