Congratulations
Benjamin Nicholas Huner Goldwasser, Andrew Wells VanWyngarden
Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city officials attend demonstrations
It's hardly a sink or swim
When all is well if the ticket sells
Out with a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You look down from your temple
As people endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is lost if it's never heard
But I've got someone to make reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To book my stays and draw my blinds
So I can't tell what's really there
And all I need's a great big congratulations
I'll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast
The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn, Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock
Of all the waste, and salt to taste
But damn my luck, and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
Dead in the water
Morto na água
It's not a paid vacation
Não é uma férias pagas
The sons and daughters
Os filhos e filhas
Of city officials attend demonstrations
De funcionários da cidade participam de manifestações
It's hardly a sink or swim
Dificilmente é afundar ou nadar
When all is well if the ticket sells
Quando tudo está bem se o bilhete vender
Out with a whimper
Sai com um gemido
It's not a blaze of glory
Não é um estouro de glória
You look down from your temple
Você olha para baixo do seu templo
As people endeavor to make it a story
Enquanto as pessoas se esforçam para torná-lo uma história
And chisel a marble word
E cinzelar uma palavra de mármore
But all is lost if it's never heard
Mas tudo está perdido se nunca for ouvido
But I've got someone to make reports
Mas eu tenho alguém para fazer relatórios
That tell me how my money's spent
Que me dizem como meu dinheiro é gasto
To book my stays and draw my blinds
Para reservar minhas estadias e fechar minhas persianas
So I can't tell what's really there
Então eu não posso dizer o que realmente está lá
And all I need's a great big congratulations
E tudo que eu preciso é de um grande parabéns
I'll keep your dreams
Eu guardarei seus sonhos
You pay attention for me
Você presta atenção por mim
As strange as it seems
Por mais estranho que pareça
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
Eu prefiro me dissolver do que ter você me ignorando
The ground may be moving fast
O chão pode estar se movendo rápido
But I tied my boots to a broken mast
Mas eu amarrei minhas botas a um mastro quebrado
The difference is clear
A diferença é clara
You throw it in your cauldron
Você joga isso no seu caldeirão
Rust and veneer
Ferrugem e verniz
Dusk and dawn, Steinways and Baldwins
Crepúsculo e amanhecer, Steinways e Baldwins
You start with a simple stock
Você começa com um simples estoque
Of all the waste, and salt to taste
De todo o lixo, e sal a gosto
But damn my luck, and damn these friends
Mas maldita seja minha sorte, e malditos sejam esses amigos
That keep on combing back their smiles
Que continuam penteando seus sorrisos
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
Eu guardo minha graça com culpa pela metade
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
E estendo a colcha sobre o gramado
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
Abro meus braços e absorvo os parabéns
Dead in the water
Muerto en el agua
It's not a paid vacation

Cuando todo está bien si se vende la entrada
Out with a whimper
Fuera con un suspiro
It's not a blaze of glory
No es un estallido de gloria
You look down from your temple
Mirás desde tu templo
As people endeavor to make it a story
Mientras la gente se esfuerza por convertirlo en una historia
And chisel a marble word
Y cincelan una palabra de mármol
But all is lost if it's never heard
Pero todo se pierde si nunca se escucha
But I've got someone to make reports
Pero tengo a alguien para hacer informes
That tell me how my money's spent
Que me dicen cómo se gasta mi dinero
To book my stays and draw my blinds
Para reservar mis estancias y cerrar mis persianas
So I can't tell what's really there
Así que no puedo decir lo que realmente hay
And all I need's a great big congratulations
Y todo lo que necesito es una gran felicitación
I'll keep your dreams
Guardaré tus sueños
You pay attention for me
Tú prestas atención por mí
As strange as it seems
Por extraño que parezca
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
Preferiría disolverme que tener que ignorarte
The ground may be moving fast
El suelo puede estar moviéndose rápido
But I tied my boots to a broken mast
Pero até mis botas a un mástil roto
The difference is clear
La diferencia es clara
You throw it in your cauldron
Lo echas en tu caldero
Rust and veneer
Óxido y barniz
Dusk and dawn, Steinways and Baldwins
Crepúsculo y amanecer, Steinways y Baldwins
You start with a simple stock
Comienzas con un simple caldo
Of all the waste, and salt to taste
De todos los desechos, y sal al gusto
But damn my luck, and damn these friends
Pero maldita mi suerte, y malditos estos amigos
That keep on combing back their smiles
Que siguen peinando sus sonrisas
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
Guardo mi gracia con culpa a medias
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Y extiendo la colcha sobre el césped
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
Extiendo mis brazos y absorbo las felicitaciones

Mais tout est perdu si on ne l'entend jamais

Mais j'ai quelqu'un pour faire des rapports
That tell me how my money's spent
Qui me disent comment mon argent est dépensé
