Lyrics and translation Aldous Harding - What If Birds Aren't Singing They're Screaming

What If Birds Aren't Singing They're Screaming

What if birds aren't singing they're screaming
I got high, I thought I saw an angel
But he was just a ghost
He was making wooden posts out of my family
What if birds aren't singing they're screaming
What if birds aren't singing they're screaming
What if my moon gets caught up in my waning
Trapped under a sky left blacker than the eyes of my visitors
What if birds aren't singing they're screaming
What if birds aren't singing they're screaming
I got high, I thought I saw an angel
But it was just a ghost heaving under his cloak[?]
What if birds aren't singing they're screaming
What if birds aren't singing they're screaming

Et si les oiseaux ne chantaient pas, mais criaient

Et si les oiseaux ne chantaient pas, mais criaient
J'ai fumé, j'ai cru voir un ange
Mais c'était juste un fantôme
Il fabriquait des pieux en bois avec ma famille
Et si les oiseaux ne chantaient pas, mais criaient
Et si les oiseaux ne chantaient pas, mais criaient
Et si ma lune se retrouvait prise dans mon déclin
Piégée sous un ciel devenu plus noir que les yeux de mes visiteurs
Et si les oiseaux ne chantaient pas, mais criaient
Et si les oiseaux ne chantaient pas, mais criaient
J'ai fumé, j'ai cru voir un ange
Mais c'était juste un fantôme qui haletait sous sa cape ?
Et si les oiseaux ne chantaient pas, mais criaient
Et si les oiseaux ne chantaient pas, mais criaient
