Lyrics & Translation
English
I'm floating over strange land,
It's a soulless, sequined, showbiz moon.
I'm floating over strange land,
And then stranger still, there's no balloon.
But I'm getting higher,
Wafted up by fame's fickle fire 'til the...
Chalkhills and children,
Anchor my feet.
Chalkhills and children,
Bringing me back to earth,
Eternally and ever Ermine Street.
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are closed.)
I'm skating over thin ice,
Upon blunted blades of metal soft.
I'm skating over thin ice,
While some nonesuch net holds me aloft.
But I'm getting higher,
Lifted up on lucks' circus wire 'til the...
Chalkhills and children,
Anchor my feet.
Chalkhills and children,
Bringing me back to earth,
Eternally and ever Ermine Street.
Even I never know where I go when my eyes are closed.
Even I never spied that the scenes were posed.
Even I never knew this is what I'd be.
Even eyes never mean that you're sure to see.
Still I'm getting higher,
Rolling up on three empty tyres, 'til the...
Chalkhills and children,
Anchor my feet.
Chalkhills and children,
Bringing me back to earth,
Eternally and ever Ermine Street.
I'm soaring over hushed crowds,
The reluctant cannonball it seems.
I'm soaring over hushed crowds,
I'm propelled up here by long dead dreams.
Still I'm getting higher,
Icarus regrets and retires puzzled.
Chalkhills and children,
Anchor my feet.
Chalkhills and children,
Oddly complete.
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed.)
Here I go again.

Chalkhills And Children (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Estoy flotando sobre tierra extraña,
Es una luna sin alma, de lentejuelas, de espectáculo.
Estoy flotando sobre tierra extraña,
Y aún más extraño, no hay globo.
Pero estoy subiendo más alto,
Llevado por el fuego inconstante de la fama hasta que...
Colinas de tiza y niños,
Anclan mis pies.
Colinas de tiza y niños,
Trayéndome de vuelta a la tierra,
Eterna y siempre Ermine Street.
(Incluso yo nunca sé a dónde voy cuando mis ojos están cerrados.)
Estoy patinando sobre hielo delgado,
Sobre cuchillas romas de metal blando.
Estoy patinando sobre hielo delgado,
Mientras una red sin igual me mantiene en alto.
Pero estoy subiendo más alto,
Elevado por el alambre de circo de la suerte hasta que...
Colinas de tiza y niños,
Anclan mis pies.
Colinas de tiza y niños,
Trayéndome de vuelta a la tierra,
Eterna y siempre Ermine Street.
Incluso yo nunca sé a dónde voy cuando mis ojos están cerrados.
Incluso yo nunca espié que las escenas estaban posadas.
Incluso yo nunca supe que esto es lo que sería.
Incluso los ojos nunca significan que estés seguro de ver.
Aún así estoy subiendo más alto,
Rodando sobre tres neumáticos vacíos, hasta que...
Colinas de tiza y niños,
Anclan mis pies.
Colinas de tiza y niños,
Trayéndome de vuelta a la tierra,
Eterna y siempre Ermine Street.
Estoy volando sobre multitudes silenciosas,
La renuente bala de cañón, parece.
Estoy volando sobre multitudes silenciosas,
Soy impulsado aquí por sueños muertos hace mucho tiempo.
Aún así estoy subiendo más alto,
Ícaro se arrepiente y se retira perplejo.
Colinas de tiza y niños,
Anclan mis pies.
Colinas de tiza y niños,
Extrañamente completos.
(Incluso yo nunca sé a dónde voy cuando mis ojos están todos cerrados.)
Aquí voy de nuevo.
