Lyrics
There’s guitars ringin’ now from the top floor of this house
– Gen gita sonnen kounye a soti nan etaj la anwo nan kay sa a
That I’ve learned to rest my soul inside
– Ke mwen te aprann pou repoze nanm mwen anndan
Be still, be quiet, this world’s a giant
– Rete trankil, rete trankil, mond sa a se yon jeyan
That I don’t feel like facing tonight
– Ke mwen pa santi tankou fè fas a aswè a
I don’t have the words yet, I’ll smoke a cigarette
– Mwen pa gen mo yo ankò, mwen pral fimen yon sigarèt
Even though she’ll smell it on my breath
– Menm si li pral santi l sou souf mwen
I say I want kids even though I can’t quit
– Mwen di mwen vle timoun menm si mwen pa ka bay moute
The things that make me childish
– Bagay ki fè m enfantin
But it ain’t all bad, the windows are cracked
– Men, li pa tout move, fenèt yo fann
I came down to hear you laughin’ in the kitchen, babe
– Mwen te desann pou tande ou ri nan kwizin nan, ti bebe
Let’s pour some wine, there’s still a little time
– An nou vide kèk diven, gen toujou yon ti tan
And maybe a little bit left in me to save
– E petèt yon ti kras kite nan m ‘ pou konsève pou
Be still, be quiet, the world’s a giant
– Rete trankil, rete trankil, mond lan se yon jeyan
I ain’t ever had myself a David’s heart
– Mwen pa janm te gen tèt Mwen yon Kè David la
I’ll say sorry to God for all the trouble I caused
– Mwen pral di bondye padon pou Tout pwoblèm mwen te lakòz
Maybe that’s a good place for me to start
– Petèt sa se yon bon kote pou mwen kòmanse
You’ll be holdin’ to no other holdless boy
– Ou pral kenbe nan pa gen okenn lòt ti gason holdless
I heard breathin’ this world is the thief of joy
– Mwen tande breathin’ mond sa a se vòlè a nan kè kontan
You’re better off fightin’ than you are dead
– Ou pi bon nan batay pase ou mouri
The time for rest ain’t now ’cause the kids need fed
– Tan pou repo a se pa kounye a paske timoun yo bezwen manje
The time for rest ain’t now ’cause the kids need fed
– Tan pou repo a se pa kounye a paske timoun yo bezwen manje
Guitars ringin’ now from the top of that house
– Gitar sonnen kounye a soti nan tèt kay sa a
We used to rest our souls inside
– Nou te konn repoze nanm nou anndan
Nothing lasts, memories pass
– Pa gen anyen ki dire, memwa pase
Think of home on an August night
– Panse lakay ou nan yon nwit nan mwa out
There’s reasons to go, reasons to stay
– Gen rezon pou ale, rezon pou rete
Just know you’ll fear it all anyway
– Jis konnen ou pral pè li tout de tout fason
Be still, be quiet, this world’s a giant
– Rete trankil, rete trankil, mond sa a se yon jeyan
Maybe there’s a little bit left to save
– Petèt gen yon ti kras kite pou konsève pou
You’ll be holding to no other holdless boy
– Ou p ap kenbe pou okenn lòt ti gason ki pa kenbe
I heard breathin’ this world is the thief of joy
– Mwen tande breathin’ mond sa a se vòlè a nan kè kontan
You’re better off fightin’ than you are dead
– Ou pi bon nan batay pase ou mouri
The time for rest ain’t now ’cause the kids need fed
– Tan pou repo a se pa kounye a paske timoun yo bezwen manje
The time for rest ain’t now, the kids need fed
– Tan pou repo a se pa kounye a, timoun yo bezwen manje
