FLORENCE & THE MACHINE - Queen Of Peace
Álbum: How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (2015)
[Verse 1]
Oh, the king
Gone mad within his suffering
Called out for relief
Someone cure him of his grief
His only son
Cut down, but the battle won
Oh, what is it worth
When all that's left is hurt?
[Pre-Chorus]
Like the stars chase the sun
Over the glowing hill, I will conquer
Blood is running deep
Some things never sleep
[Chorus]
Suddenly I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you're driving me away
[Verse 2]
Oh, the queen of peace
Always does her best to please
But is it any use?
Somebody's gotta lose
Like a long scream
Out there, always echoing
Oh, what is it worth?
All that's left is hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
Like the stars chase the sun
Over the glowing hill, I will conquer
Blood is running deep
Some things never sleep
[Chorus]
Suddenly I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you're driving me away
[Bridge]
And my love is no good
Against the fortress that it made of you
Blood is running deep
Sorrow that you keep
[Chorus]
Suddenly I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you're driving me away
[Spoken interlude - only in the Music Video]
To give yourself over to another body
That's all you want really
To be out of your own and consumed by another
To swim inside the skin of your lover
Not to have to breathe, not to have to think
But you can't live on love; salt water's no drink.
REINA DE LA PAZ
[Traducida al Español]
[Verse 1]
Oh, el rey
Enloqueció en su sufrimiento
Clamaba por alivio
Alguien lo curó de su aflicción
Su único hijo
Muerto, mas la batalla ganó
Oh, ¿de qué sirve
Cuando todo lo que queda es dolor?
[Pre-Chorus]
Al igual que las estrellas persiguen al sol
Sobre la brillante cima, he de conquistar
La sangre corre profundamente
Algunas cosas nunca duermen
[Chorus]
De repente, he sido vencida
Me disuelvo cual sol en pleno ocaso
Como un bote en el olvido
Puesto que me estás llevando lejos
Ahora me tienes en el rodeo
El peligro ha sido puesto
Vamos, ¿es esto lo que quieres?
Puesto que me estás llevando lejos
[Verse 2]
Oh, la reina de la paz
Siempre da lo mejor de sí con tal de complacer
Mas ¿sirve de algo?
Alguien ha de perder
Al igual que un prolongado grito
Afuera, siempre hace eco
Oh, ¿de qué sirve?
Todo lo que queda es dolor
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Y mi amor no es eficaz
Contra la fortaleza que este hizo de ti
La sangre corre profundamente
Dolor que llevas contigo
[Chorus]
[Interludio hablado - únicamente en el Vídeo Musical]
Entregarte a un cuerpo ajeno
Eso es todo lo que realmente quieres
Estar fuera del tuyo propio y ser consumido por otro
Nadar en la piel de tu amante
No tener que respirar, no tener que pensar
Mas no puedes vivir en el amor; el agua salada no se bebe.
