Rica
I’m supposed to choose a suitor to wear the crown
– Mi mester skohe un pretendente pa karga e korona
I said I would choose as soon as I weave this shroud
– Mi a bisa ku mi lo skohe mesora ku mi traha e paña aki.
They don’t know that every night
– Nan no sa ku tur anochi
I unthread all the work I’ve done
– Deskargá tur e trabou ku mi a hasi
‘Cause I’d rather lie
– Pasobra mi ta preferá gaña
Than allow them to think they’ve won
– Cu ta permiti nan pensa cu nan a gana
Though I never thought that I’d resort to this
– Aunke mi no a pensa ku mi lo a hasi esaki
Just know I’ll be here
– Mi sa solamente ku mi ta aki
But I don’t know how much longer I’ll last
– Pero mi no sa kuantu mas e lo dura
Since we saw that storm
– For di ora nos a mira e tormenta ei
And though it was so close to our kingdom
– I aunke e tabata asina serka di nos reino
It was far from the norm
– E tabata leu for di e norma
Unless
– A menos cu
Oh, could it be some kind of sign
– Oh, por ta un tipo di señal
That my world is all about to change?
– Ku mi mundu ta serka di kambia?
Is it finally time for the challenge I arranged?
– Finalmente ta e momento di e reto ku mi a organisá?
Though I never thought that it would come to this
– Aunke mi no a pensa ku e lo yega na esaki
Just know I’ll be here, buying you time
– Mi sa solamente ku mi ta aki, kumpra tempu pa bo.
Time is fleeting, it’s running out
– E tempu ta pasa, e ta kaba
Time to be the man of the house
– Ta ora pa ta e hòmber di kas
Oh, buying you time
– Oh, kumpra tempu pa bo
Time is fleeting, it’s running out
– E tempu ta pasa, e ta kaba
Time to be the man of the house
– Ta ora pa ta e hòmber di kas
Whoever can string my husband’s old bow
– Esun ku por trese e vínculo bieu di mi esposo
And shoot through twelve axes cleanly
– I dispará dor di 12 machete limpi
Will be the new king, sit down at the throne
– E lo ta e rei nobo, sinta riba e trono
And rule with me as his queen
– I goberná ku mi komo su reina
Let the arrow fly
– Laga e flecha bula
Once you know that your aim is true
– Ora bo sa ku bo meta ta bèrdat
‘Cause I’d rather die
– Pasobra mi ta preferá muri
Than grow old without the best of you
– Ku ta bira bieu sin e mihó di bo
Though I never thought
– Aunke mi no a pensa
That these would be the lengths we go for love
– Cu esaki lo ta e extremo cu nos ta bayendo pa amor
I would not have it any other way
– E No lo hasié di otro manera
And though I never thought that it would end like this
– I aunke nunka mi a pensa ku e lo a terminá asina
Just know I’ll be here
– Mi sa solamente ku mi ta aki
Waiting, waiting
– Esperando, esperando
Penelope
– Penelope
Waiting, waiting
– Esperando, esperando
Penelope
– Penelope
Waiting, waiting
– Esperando, esperando
Oh
– Oh, ta ta
