What Was That by Lorde
Lyrics & Translation
English
A place in the city, a chair and a bed
I cover up all the mirrors, I can't see myself yet
I wear smoke like a wedding veil
Make a meal I won't eat
Step out into the street, alone in a sea
It comes over me
Oh, I'm missing you
Yeah, I'm missing you
And all the things we used to do
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
We kissed for hours straight, well baby, what was that?
I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"
Well, I want you just like that
Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm and it knocks me out
I didn't know then that you'd never be enough for–
Since I was seventeen, I gave you everything
Now, we wake from a dream
Well, baby, what was that?
What was that?
Baby, what was that?
Do you know you're still with me
When I'm out with my friends?
I stare at their painted faces
They talk current affairs
You had to know this was happening
You weren't feeling my heat
When I'm in the blue light, down at Baby's All Right
I face reality
I try (I try)
To let (To let)
Whatever has to pass through me, pass through
But this is staying a while, I know
It might not let me go
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
We kissed for hours straight, well baby, what was that?
I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"
Well, I want you just like that
Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm and it knocks me out
I didn't know then that you'd never be enough for me
Since I was seventeen, I gave you everything
Now we wake from a dream, well baby, what was that?
What was that?
'Cause I want you just like that
When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright
What was that?
When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright
Baby, what was that?

What Was That (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Un lugar en la ciudad, una silla y una cama
Cubro todos los espejos, aún no puedo verme
Visto el humo como un velo de novia
Hago una comida que no comeré
Salgo a la calle, sola en un mar
Me invade
Oh, te extraño
Sí, te extraño
Y todas las cosas que solíamos hacer
MDMA en el jardín trasero, nuestras pupilas se dilatan
Nos besamos por horas seguidas, bueno, cariño, ¿qué fue eso?
Recuerdo haber dicho entonces, "Este es el mejor cigarrillo de mi vida"
Bueno, te quiero así
Niebla de Indio, estamos en una tormenta de arena y me noquea
No sabía entonces que nunca serías suficiente para–
Desde que tenía diecisiete, te di todo
Ahora, despertamos de un sueño
Bueno, cariño, ¿qué fue eso?
¿Qué fue eso?
Cariño, ¿qué fue eso?
¿Sabes que sigues conmigo
Cuando salgo con mis amigos?
Miro sus caras pintadas
Hablan de actualidad
Tenías que saber que esto estaba pasando
No sentías mi calor
Cuando estoy bajo la luz azul, en Baby's All Right
Me enfrento a la realidad
Intento (Intento)
Dejar (Dejar)
Que lo que tenga que pasar a través de mí, pase
Pero esto se queda un tiempo, lo sé
Puede que no me deje ir
MDMA en el jardín trasero, nuestras pupilas se dilatan
Nos besamos por horas seguidas, bueno, cariño, ¿qué fue eso?
Recuerdo haber dicho entonces, "Este es el mejor cigarrillo de mi vida"
Bueno, te quiero así
Niebla de Indio, estamos en una tormenta de arena y me noquea
No sabía entonces que nunca serías suficiente para mí
Desde que tenía diecisiete, te di todo
Ahora despertamos de un sueño, bueno, cariño, ¿qué fue eso?
¿Qué fue eso?
Porque te quiero así
Cuando estoy bajo la luz azul, puedo hacer que esté bien
¿Qué fue eso?
Cuando estoy bajo la luz azul, puedo hacer que esté bien
Cariño, ¿qué fue eso?
