How Not To Drown
Robert Smith, Martin Doherty, Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface
I'll keep them down
This is the first time, I know
I don't want the crown
You can take it now
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Told me to sing
That was the first time I knew
You can't kill the king
And those who kiss the ring
Tell me how
It's better when the sun goes down
We'll never escape this town
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Look what it taught me
Tell me how
It's better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn't dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
That was the first time I knew
They were out for blood
And they would have your guts
Tell me how
It's better when the sun goes down
We'll never escape this town
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Look what it taught me
Tell me how
It's better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn't dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface
I'll keep them down
This is the first time I know
I don't want the crown
You can take it now
You can take it now
Take it now
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
Estou escrevendo um livro sobre como permanecer consciente quando você se afoga
And if the words float up to the surface
E se as palavras flutuarem até a superfície
I'll keep them down
Eu as manterei embaixo
This is the first time, I know
Esta é a primeira vez, eu sei
I don't want the crown
Eu não quero a coroa
You can take it now
Você pode pegá-la agora
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Você prometeu o mundo e me trouxe pendurado em uma corda
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Colocou na minha boca, na minha garganta
Told me to sing
Me disse para cantar
That was the first time I knew
Essa foi a primeira vez que eu soube
You can't kill the king
Você não pode matar o rei
And those who kiss the ring
E aqueles que beijam o anel
Tell me how
Diga-me como
It's better when the sun goes down
É melhor quando o sol se põe
We'll never escape this town
Nunca escaparemos desta cidade
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Eu não estava com medo quando ele me pegou
Look what it taught me
Veja o que me ensinou
Tell me how
Diga-me como
It's better if I make no sound
É melhor se eu não fizer nenhum som
I will never escape these doubts
Eu nunca vou escapar dessas dúvidas
I wasn't dead when they found me
Eu não estava morto quando me encontraram
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
Estou escrevendo um capítulo sobre o que fazer depois que eles te desenterram
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
Sobre o que fazer depois que você passou a odiar o que costumava amar
That was the first time I knew
Essa foi a primeira vez que eu soube
They were out for blood
Eles estavam atrás de sangue
And they would have your guts
E eles teriam suas entranhas
Tell me how
Diga-me como
It's better when the sun goes down
É melhor quando o sol se põe
We'll never escape this town
Nunca escaparemos desta cidade
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Eu não estava com medo quando ele me pegou
Look what it taught me
Veja o que me ensinou
Tell me how
Diga-me como
It's better if I make no sound
É melhor se eu não fizer nenhum som
I will never escape these doubts
Eu nunca vou escapar dessas dúvidas
I wasn't dead when they found me
Eu não estava morto quando me encontraram
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
Pulling me down
Puxando-me para baixo
Dead when they found me
Morto quando me encontraram
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
Pulling me down
Puxando-me para baixo
Dead when they found me
Morto quando me encontraram
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo

I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
Estoy escribiendo un libro sobre cómo mantenerse consciente cuando te ahogas
And if the words float up to the surface
Y si las palabras flotan hasta la superficie
I'll keep them down
Las mantendré abajo
This is the first time, I know
Esta es la primera vez, lo sé
I don't want the crown
No quiero la corona
You can take it now
Puedes tomarla ahora
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Prometiste el mundo y me lo trajiste colgando de un hilo
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Lo metiste en mi boca, en mi garganta
Told me to sing
Me dijiste que cantara
That was the first time I knew
Esa fue la primera vez que supe
You can't kill the king
No puedes matar al rey
And those who kiss the ring
Y aquellos que besan el anillo
Tell me how
Dime cómo
It's better when the sun goes down
Es mejor cuando el sol se pone
We'll never escape this town
Nunca escaparemos de esta ciudad
I wasn't scared when he caught me
No tenía miedo cuando él me atrapó
Look what it taught me
Mira lo que me enseñó
Tell me how
Dime cómo
It's better if I make no sound
Es mejor si no hago ningún ruido
I will never escape these doubts
Nunca escaparé de estas dudas
I wasn't dead when they found me
No estaba muerto cuando me encontraron
Watch as they pull me down
Mira cómo me arrastran hacia abajo
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up

On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
Sobre qué hacer después de que creciste odiando lo que solías amar
That was the first time I knew
Esa fue la primera vez que supe
They were out for blood
Estaban buscando sangre
And they would have your guts
Y tendrían tus entrañas
Tell me how
Dime cómo

Es mejor cuando el sol se pone

Pulling me down
Arrastrándome hacia abajo
Dead when they found me

Je les retiendrai
This is the first time, I know
C'est la première fois, je le sais
I don't want the crown
Je ne veux pas de la couronne
You can take it now
Tu peux la prendre maintenant
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Tu as promis le monde et tu me l'as apporté suspendu à une ficelle
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Tu l'as mis dans ma bouche, dans ma gorge
Told me to sing
Tu m'as dit de chanter
That was the first time I knew
C'était la première fois que je savais
You can't kill the king
On ne peut pas tuer le roi
And those who kiss the ring
Et ceux qui embrassent l'anneau
Tell me how
Dis-moi comment
It's better when the sun goes down
C'est mieux quand le soleil se couche
We'll never escape this town

They were out for blood
Ils étaient assoiffés de sang
And they would have your guts
Et ils auraient tes tripes
Tell me how

I'll keep them down
Ich halte sie unten

Das ist das erste Mal, dass ich weiß
I don't want the crown
Ich will die Krone nicht
You can take it now
Du kannst sie jetzt nehmen
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Du hast mir die Welt versprochen und sie mir an einem Faden hängend gebracht
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Steckte es in meinen Mund, in meinen Hals
Told me to sing
Sagte mir, ich solle singen

I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
Ich schreibe ein Kapitel darüber, was zu tun ist, nachdem sie dich ausgegraben haben
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
Was zu tun ist, nachdem du angefangen hast, das zu hassen, was du früher geliebt hast
That was the first time I knew
Das war das erste Mal, dass ich wusste
They were out for blood
Sie waren auf Blut aus
And they would have your guts
Und sie würden deine Eingeweide haben
Tell me how
Sag mir wie
It's better when the sun goes down
Es ist besser, wenn die Sonne untergeht

You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Hai promesso il mondo e me l'hai portato appeso a un filo
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Me l'hai messo in bocca, nella gola
Told me to sing

They were out for blood
Erano fuori per il sangue
And they would have your guts
E avrebbero le tue viscere
