intro
Lately, I′ve been, I've been losing sleep
Últimamente he estado, he estado perdiendo el sueño
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Soñando con las cosas que pudimos haber sido
But baby, I′ve been, I've been praying hard
Pero, nena, he estado, he estado rezando fuerte.
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Dicho, no más contar dólares, estaremos contando estrellas
Yeah, we′ll be counting stars"
Yeah, estaremos contactando estrellas
verse
I see this life like a swinging vine
Veo esta vida como una viña balanceándose.
Swing my heart across the line
Que lleva mi corazón al límite
And in my face is flashing signs
Y en mi cara hay señales luminosas
Seek it out and ye shall find
Búscalo y encontrarás
hook
Old, but I′m not that old
Viejo, pero no tan viejo
Young, but I'm not that bold
Joven, pero no tan audaz
And I don′t think the world is sold
Y no pienso que este mundo esté vendido
On just doing what we're told
Solo hago lo que nos dicen
pre-chorus
I feel something so right doing the wrong thing
Siento algo, me siento bien haciendo lo equivocado
And I feel something so wrong doing the right thing
Y me siento tan mal, haciendo lo correcto
I couldn′t lie, couldn't lie, couldn′t lie
No puedo mentir, no puedo mentir, no puedo mentir
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Todo lo que me puede matar... hace que me siento vivo
chorus
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Últimamente he estado, he estado perdiendo el sueño
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Soñando con las cosas que pudimos haber sido
But baby, I′ve been, I′ve been praying hard
Pero, nena, he estado, he estado rezando fuerte.
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"
Dicho, no más contar dólares, estaremos contando estrellas
But lately, I′ve been, I've been losing sleep
Últimamente he estado, he estado perdiendo el sueño
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Soñando con las cosas que pudimos haber sido
But baby, I′ve been, I've been praying hard
Pero, nena, he estado, he estado rezando fuerte.
Said, "No more counting dollars, we′ll be, we'll be counting stars"
Dijimos, no contaremos dólares, nosotros, contaremos estrellas
Hey, yeah, yeah
Oye, sí, sí
verse
I feel your love, and I feel it burn
Siento tu amor y siento que arde
Down this river, every turn
Por este río cada vez
Hope is our four-letter word
Fe dicho dos veces es nuestra palabra de cuatro letras
Make that money, watch it burn
Gánate el dinero y míralo desaparecer
hook
Old, but I'm not that old
Viejo, pero no tan viejo
Young, but I′m not that bold
Joven, pero no tan audaz
And I don′t think the world is sold
Y no pienso que este mundo esté vendido
On just doing what we're told
Solo hago lo que nos dicen
pre-chorus
And I feel something so wrong doing the right thing
Y me siento tan mal, haciendo lo correcto
I couldn′t lie, couldn't lie, couldn′t lie
No puedo mentir, no puedo mentir, no puedo mentir
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Todas las cosas que me ahogan me hacen desear volar
chorus
Lately, I've been, I′ve been losing sleep
Últimamente he estado, he estado perdiendo el sueño
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Soñando con las cosas que pudimos haber sido
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Pero, nena, he estado, he estado rezando fuerte.
Said, "No more counting dollars, we′ll be counting stars"
Dicho, no más contar dólares, estaremos contando estrellas
Lately, I′ve been, I've been losing sleep
Últimamente he estado, he estado perdiendo el sueño

bridge
Oh, take that money, watch it burn
Oh, toma ese dinero miralo quemarse
Sink in the river the lessons I′ve learned
Tira al río las lecciones aprendidas
Take that money, watch it burn
Toma ese dinero, mira cómo se quema
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Tira al río las lecciones aprendidas
Take that money, watch it burn
Toma ese dinero, mira cómo se quema
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Tira al río las lecciones aprendidas
Take that money, watch it burn
Toma ese dinero, mira cómo se quema
Sink in the river the lessons I′ve learned
Tira al río las lecciones aprendidas
