Lyrics & Translation
English
Hey, hey, yeah, uh
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Mm, and all I taught her was everything
Mm, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Mm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah
Mm, mm, ooh
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?
Ooh, ah yeah, ah, ooh
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, ooh ooh ooh
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, ooh

Black (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Hey, hey, sí, uh
Sábanas de lienzo vacío, sábanas de arcilla intactas
Se extendieron ante mí como una vez lo hizo su cuerpo
Los cinco horizontes giraban alrededor de su alma como la tierra al sol
Ahora el aire que probé y respiré ha dado un giro
Mm, y todo lo que le enseñé fue todo
Mm, sé que me dio todo lo que vestía
Y ahora mis manos amargas se rozan bajo las nubes
De lo que fue todo
Oh, todas las fotos han sido lavadas en negro
Tatuado todo
Salgo a caminar, estoy rodeado de niños jugando
Puedo sentir su risa, entonces ¿por qué me quemo?
Mm, y pensamientos retorcidos que giran en mi cabeza
Estoy girando, oh, estoy girando, qué rápido puede desaparecer el sol
Y ahora mis manos amargas acunan cristales rotos
De lo que fue todo
Todas las fotos han sido lavadas en negro
Tatuado todo
Todo el amor que se echó a perder volvió mi mundo negro
Tatuado todo lo que veo, todo lo que soy, todo lo que seré, sí
Mm, mm, ooh
Sé que algún día tendrás una vida hermosa
Sé que serás una estrella en el cielo de otra persona, pero ¿por qué?
¿Por qué, por qué no puede ser, oh, no puede ser mío?
Ooh, ah sí, ah, ooh
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, ooh ooh ooh
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, ooh
