Текст и перевод песни Rare Americans - Sway

Sway

My father had a lot to say
But he had a lifetime in the way
Empty bottles every day
The words' unspoken barricades

Fallen into a haze
Blasting music as
He'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway (sway, sway)
He'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway

You couldn't slow down
You couldn't slow down
And time ran out
Your time ran out

Early morning memories
Eating breakfast, you're at peace
"Can you pass the paper, please?"
You'd say with wine stains on your teeth

Pretend it was just a dream
I know you'd seen some awful scenes
You'd say it was your everythin'
You didn't know I'd watch you as
You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway (sway, sway)
You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway

You could've slowed down
You could've slowed down
But time ran out
Your time ran out

Why do I feel your pain?
I can't avoid it much these days
Bottles by the kitchen sink
I should have done some shitty things

I didn't know what to think
When I saw you at your brink
Writing down everything
Watching as
You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway
You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway

Can I slow it down?
Can I slow it down
And turn it around?
I'll turn it around
Around

Balancement

Mon père avait beaucoup à dire
Mais toute une vie se mettait en travers
Bouteilles vides chaque jour
Les mots, des barricades silencieuses

Tombé dans un brouillard
Musique à fond pendant que
Il se balançait, il se balançait, il se balançait, il se balançait, il se balançait (balancement, balancement)
Il se balançait, il se balançait, il se balançait, il se balançait, il se balançait

Tu ne pouvais pas ralentir
Tu ne pouvais pas ralentir
Et le temps s'est écoulé
Ton temps s'est écoulé

Souvenirs du petit matin
Prenant le petit-déjeuner, tu es en paix
"Peux-tu me passer le journal, s'il te plaît ?"
Tu disais avec des taches de vin sur les dents

Faire comme si ce n'était qu'un rêve
Je sais que tu as vu des scènes horribles
Tu disais que c'était tout pour toi
Tu ne savais pas que je te regardais pendant que
Tu te balançais, tu te balançais, tu te balançais, tu te balançais, tu te balançais (balancement, balancement)
Tu te balançais, tu te balançais, tu te balançais, tu te balançais, tu te balançais

Tu aurais pu ralentir
Tu aurais pu ralentir
Mais le temps s'est écoulé
Ton temps s'est écoulé

Pourquoi est-ce que je ressens ta douleur ?
Je ne peux pas l'éviter ces derniers temps
Bouteilles près de l'évier
J'aurais dû faire des choses merdiques

Je ne savais pas quoi penser
Quand je t'ai vue au bord du gouffre
Notant tout
Te regardant
Te balancer, te balancer, te balancer
Te balancer, te balancer, te balancer

Puis-je ralentir les choses ?
Puis-je ralentir les choses ?
Et les inverser ?
Je vais les inverser
Inverser
