Lyrics & Translation
English
I know what I wanted.
I know what I wanted.
I know how I wanted this to be.
You go down to the water.
Drink down of the water.
Walk up off the water, leave it be.
This is not my dream sister.
It is cold in heaven and I'm not sprouting wings.
I'm drowning...me.
I'm drowning...me, yeah.
Brother can you see those birds?
They don't look to heaven.
They don't need religion they can see.
They go down to the water,
Drink down on the water,
Fly up off the water, leave it be.
This is not my time sister,
It is cold in heaven
And no one's coming after me.
I'm drowning (breathing ourselves) me (breathing ourselves).
I'm drowning (breathing ourselves) me (breathing ourselves) yeah.
You know I am tired.
Cold and bony tired.
Nothing's gonna save me, I can see.
I can't say I'm fearful, I can't say I'm not afraid.
But I am not resisting, I can see.
I don't need a heaven, I don't need religion.
I am in the place where I should be.
I am breathing water, I am breathing water.
You know a body's got to breathe.
I'm drowning (breathing ourselves) me (breathing ourselves).
I'm drowning (breathing ourselves) me (breathing ourselves).
I'm drowning (breathing ourselves) me (breathing ourselves).

Undertow (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Sabía lo que quería.
Sabía lo que quería.
Sabía cómo quería que esto fuera.
Bajas al agua.
Bebes del agua.
Sales del agua, déjalo estar.
Esta no es mi hermana de ensueño.
Hace frío en el cielo y no me están saliendo alas.
Me estoy ahogando... yo.
Me estoy ahogando... yo, sí.
Hermano, ¿puedes ver esos pájaros?
Ellos no miran al cielo.
No necesitan religión, ellos pueden ver.
Bajan al agua,
Beben del agua,
Vuelan del agua, déjalo estar.
Este no es mi momento, hermana,
Hace frío en el cielo
Y nadie viene tras de mí.
Me estoy ahogando (respirándonos) yo (respirándonos).
Me estoy ahogando (respirándonos) yo (respirándonos) sí.
Sabes que estoy cansado.
Frío y huesudo cansado.
Nada me va a salvar, puedo ver.
No puedo decir que tengo miedo, no puedo decir que no tengo miedo.
Pero no me estoy resistiendo, puedo ver.
No necesito un cielo, no necesito religión.
Estoy en el lugar donde debería estar.
Estoy respirando agua, estoy respirando agua.
Sabes que un cuerpo tiene que respirar.
Me estoy ahogando (respirándonos) yo (respirándonos).
Me estoy ahogando (respirándonos) yo (respirándonos).
Me estoy ahogando (respirándonos) yo (respirándonos).
