Mission by Rush
Lyrics & Translation
English
Hold your fire
Keep it burning bright
Hold the flame 'til the dream ignites
A spirit with a vision is a dream
With a mission
I hear their passionate music
Read the words that touch my heart
I gaze at their feverish pictures
The secrets that set them apart
When I feel the powerful visions
Their fire has made alive
I wish I had that instinct
I wish I had that drive
Spirits fly on dangerous missions
Imaginations on fire
Focused high on soaring ambitions
Consumed in a single desire
In the grip of a nameless possession
A slave to the drive of obsession
A spirit with a vision is a dream
With a mission
I watch their images flicker
Bringing light to a lifeless screen
I walk through their beautiful buildings
And I wish I had their dreams
But dreams don't need to have motion
To keep their spark alive
Obsession has to have action
Pride turns on the drive
Spirits fly on dangerous missions
Imaginations on fire
Focused high on soaring ambitions
Consumed in a single desire
In the grip of a nameless possession
A slave to a driving obsession
A spirit with a vision is a dream
With a mission
It's cold comfort
To the ones without it
To know how they struggled
How they suffered about it
If their lives were exotic and strange
They would likely have gladly exchanged them
For something a little more plain
Maybe something a little more sane
We each pay a fabulous price
For our visions of paradise
But a spirit with a vision is a dream
With a mission

Mission (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Mantén tu fuego
Mantenlo ardiendo brillante
Sostén la llama hasta que el sueño encienda
Un espíritu con una visión es un sueño
Con una misión
Escucho su música apasionada
Leo las palabras que tocan mi corazón
Contemplo sus imágenes febriles
Los secretos que los distinguen
Cuando siento las visiones poderosas
Su fuego ha hecho vivir
Desearía tener ese instinto
Desearía tener ese impulso
Los espíritus vuelan en misiones peligrosas
Imaginaciones en llamas
Enfocados en altas ambiciones
Consumidos por un solo deseo
En las garras de una posesión sin nombre
Un esclavo del impulso de la obsesión
Un espíritu con una visión es un sueño
Con una misión
Veo sus imágenes parpadear
Trayendo luz a una pantalla sin vida
Camino por sus hermosos edificios
Y desearía tener sus sueños
Pero los sueños no necesitan tener movimiento
Para mantener viva su chispa
La obsesión tiene que tener acción
El orgullo enciende el impulso
Los espíritus vuelan en misiones peligrosas
Imaginaciones en llamas
Enfocados en altas ambiciones
Consumidos por un solo deseo
En las garras de una posesión sin nombre
Un esclavo de una obsesión impulsora
Un espíritu con una visión es un sueño
Con una misión
Es un consuelo frío
Para los que no lo tienen
Saber cómo lucharon
Cómo sufrieron por ello
Si sus vidas fueran exóticas y extrañas
Probablemente las habrían cambiado con gusto
Por algo un poco más simple
Quizás algo un poco más cuerdo
Cada uno pagamos un precio fabuloso
Por nuestras visiones del paraíso
Pero un espíritu con una visión es un sueño
Con una misión
