Lyrics
I’m supposed to choose a suitor to wear the crown
– Mwen ta dwe chwazi yon pretè pou mete kouwòn lan
I said I would choose as soon as I weave this shroud
– Mwen te di mwen ta chwazi le pli vit ke mwen tise dra sa a
They don’t know that every night
– Yo pa konnen sa chak swa
I unthread all the work I’ve done
– Mwen dechaje tout travay mwen te fè
‘Cause I’d rather lie
– Paske mwen ta pito bay manti
Than allow them to think they’ve won
– Pase pèmèt yo panse yo te genyen
Though I never thought that I’d resort to this
– Malgre ke mwen pa janm te panse ke mwen ta resort sa a
Just know I’ll be here
– Jis konnen mwen pral isit la
But I don’t know how much longer I’ll last
– Men mwen pa konnen konbyen tan ankò mwen pral dire
Since we saw that storm
– Depi nou te wè ke tanpèt
And though it was so close to our kingdom
– E byenke li te tèlman pre wayòm nou an
It was far from the norm
– Li te lwen nòmal la
Unless
– Sof si
Oh, could it be some kind of sign
– Oh, li ta ka yon kalite siy
That my world is all about to change?
– Ke mond mwen an se tout sou chanje?
Is it finally time for the challenge I arranged?
– Èske li finalman tan pou defi mwen te ranje a?
Though I never thought that it would come to this
– Malgre ke mwen pa janm te panse ke li ta vini nan sa a
Just know I’ll be here, buying you time
– Jis konnen mwen pral isit la, achte ou tan
Time is fleeting, it’s running out
– Tan an se fuit, li ap kouri soti
Time to be the man of the house
– Li lè pou nou se nonm kay la
Oh, buying you time
– Oh, achte ou tan
Time is fleeting, it’s running out
– Tan an se fuit, li ap kouri soti
Time to be the man of the house
– Li lè pou nou se nonm kay la
Whoever can string my husband’s old bow
– Nenpòt moun ki ka string ansyen banza mari m ‘ yo
And shoot through twelve axes cleanly
– Epi tire nan douz aks pwòp
Will be the new king, sit down at the throne
– Pral nouvo wa a, chita sou fòtèy la
And rule with me as his queen
– Ak règ avè m ‘ tankou larenn li
Let the arrow fly
– Kite flèch la vole
Once you know that your aim is true
– Yon fwa ou konnen ke objektif ou se vre
‘Cause I’d rather die
– Paske mwen ta pito mouri
Than grow old without the best of you
– Pase vin granmoun san pi bon nan ou
Though I never thought
– Malgre ke mwen pa janm te panse
That these would be the lengths we go for love
– Ke sa yo ta dwe longè nou ale pou renmen
I would not have it any other way
– Mwen pa ta vle li nenpòt lòt fason
And though I never thought that it would end like this
– E byenke mwen pa janm te panse ke li ta fini tankou sa a
Just know I’ll be here
– Jis konnen mwen pral isit la
Waiting, waiting
– Ap tann, ap tann
Penelope
– Penelope
Waiting, waiting
– Ap tann, ap tann
Penelope
– Penelope
Waiting, waiting
– Ap tann, ap tann
Oh
– Oh
