Песня We were never young с переводом на русский | Группа raised by swans | Альбом No ghostless place

1

From every room hearts spoke Through walls too thin to hold The weight of what they heard So fires crept through spaces Long left soft and blurred

За каждой дверью сердца вели свои монологи, Но стены были слишком тонки, Чтобы выдержать тяжесть услышанного. И огонь прокладывал свой путь по пространствам, Что забыли люди и размыло время.

2

Notes pushed under the doors Frozen to the floor we believed everything Leaves blown beneath the eaves Whirring like a nest of wound-up starlings

Записки, просунутые под двери, Примёрзшие к полу... Мы верили всему. Листья, занесённые ветром под карниз, Шумят как гнездо беспокойных скворцов.

3

We were young We didn’t heed those things If birds were singing we were loved

Мы были молоды, Мы даже не обращали внимания. Если птицы пели, мы были любимы.

4

We were young Like the universe Like our mothers were Like these words

Мы были молоды, Как Вселенная, Как наши матери, Как эти слова.
