Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish
verse
A husband waits outside
Su esposo espera afuera
A crying child pushes a child into the night
Una niña llorando empuja un niño hacia la noche
She was told he would come this time
Le dijeron que él vendría esta vez
Without leaving so much as a feather behind
Sin dejar si quiera una pluma atrás
To enact, at last, the perfect plan
Para ejercer, finalmente, el plan perfecto
One more sweet boy to be butchered by men
Un dulce niño más en ser asesinado a mano
chorus
The gateway to the world
La puerta al mundo
Was still outside of reach of him
Aún estaba fuera del alcance de ellos
Would never belong to angels
Nunca pertenecería a los ángeles
Had never belonged to men
Nunca había pertenecido a los hombres
The swan upon Leda
El cisne sobre Leda
Empire upon Jerusalem
Imperio sobre Jerusalén
verse
A grandmother smugglin' meds
Una abuela contrabandeando huevos
Past where the god-child soldier, Setanta, stood dead
Pasado donde el dios-niño soldado Sétanta estaba muerto
Our graceful turner of heads
Nuestro agraciado atractor de atención
Weaves through the checkpoints like a needle and thread
Entreteje entre los puntos de control como aguja e hilo
Someone's frightened boy waves her on
El niño aterrado de alguien la saluda
She offers a mother's smile, and soon she's gone
Ella ofrece la sonrisa de una madre, y pronto se ha ido
chorus
The gateway to the world
La puerta al mundo
The gun in a trembling hand
El arma en una mano temblorosa
When nature unmakes the boundary
Cuando la naturaleza deshace el límite
The pillar of myth still stands
El pilar del mito aún permanece
The swan upon Leda
El cisne sobre Leda
Occupier upon an ancient land
Ocupante sobre tierras antiguas
outro
The gateway to the world
La puerta al mundo
Was still outside the reach of him
Aún estaba fuera del alcance de ellos
Would never belong to angels
Nunca pertenecería a los ángeles
Had never belonged to men
Nunca había pertenecido a los hombres
Writer(s): Andrew John Hozier-byrne
