Lyrics
I’m supposed to choose a suitor to wear the crown
– Im ‘ supponitur eligere ad induendum procus coronam
I said I would choose as soon as I weave this shroud
– Ego dixi ut quam primum eligere texere hoc integumento
They don’t know that every night
– Nescio quo tantum res nocet
I unthread all the work I’ve done
– Ego feci omne opus solveret
‘Cause I’d rather lie
– ‘Causa vellem potius mentiri
Than allow them to think they’ve won
– Quam permittunt eos cogitare se vicisse
Though I never thought that I’d resort to this
– Tamen ego youd ‘ nunquam cogitavi ut ad vigilandum est
Just know I’ll be here
– Sapiente quia sunt qui
But I don’t know how much longer I’ll last
– Nescio enim quamdiu subsistam
Since we saw that storm
– Quoniam vidimus quod tempestas
And though it was so close to our kingdom
– Etiamsi tam prope esset regnum nostrum
It was far from the norm
– Procul a norma erat
Unless
– Nisi
Oh, could it be some kind of sign
– O signum aliquod esse potuit
That my world is all about to change?
– Haec est responsio ad quaestione mutare?
Is it finally time for the challenge I arranged?
– Estne tandem tempus provocationis quam disposui?
Though I never thought that it would come to this
– Etsi numquam putavi quod ad hoc venturum esset
Just know I’ll be here, buying you time
– Ego iustus scire hic erit tibi tempus emere
Time is fleeting, it’s running out
– Tempus fugaces, suus ‘ currit ex
Time to be the man of the house
– L ‘ uomo deve essere padrone del proprio uomo
Oh, buying you time
– Ahorre su tiempo y
Time is fleeting, it’s running out
– Tempus fugaces, suus ‘ currit ex
Time to be the man of the house
– L ‘ uomo deve essere padrone del proprio uomo
Whoever can string my husband’s old bow
– Quisquis arcum veterem mariti mei filum potest
And shoot through twelve axes cleanly
– Et mitterent per duodecim axes puriter
Will be the new king, sit down at the throne
– Novus rex erit, sedens ad thronum
And rule with me as his queen
– As ave regina sua
Let the arrow fly
– Sit sagitta volare
Once you know that your aim is true
– Cum scis tuum propositum verum esse
‘Cause I’d rather die
– Sem ti porque morro eu
Than grow old without the best of you
– Tutto diventa vecchio, forse anch ‘ io
Though I never thought
– Etsi numquam cogitavi
That these would be the lengths we go for love
– Quod haec essent longitudinum itur ad amorem
I would not have it any other way
– Non excludo tamen alios modos
And though I never thought that it would end like this
– Et quamquam ego nunquam cogitavi ut esset terminus huius
Just know I’ll be here
– Sapiente quia sunt qui
Waiting, waiting
– Si sabbato [ab] expectetur.
Penelope
– Penelope
Waiting, waiting
– Si sabbato [ab] expectetur.
Penelope
– Penelope
Waiting, waiting
– Si sabbato [ab] expectetur.
Oh
– O
