Testi di In Between Stars - Eleanor Friedberger

In Between Stars (originale)

In between moons
I was the sea, I was the sea
In between stars
I was the salt, I was the salt
Wild and vulgar were the ones that you could see
The ugly idols not cherished by me
In between moons
I was the spring, I was the spring
In between stars
I was the iron, I was the iron
Washed and scrubbed from morning till night
The sky is heavy on my shoulders but alright
It happened so very long ago
We don’t know when or how
Nobody knows what we’re doing here even now
In between moons
I was the sea, I was the sea
In between stars
I was the salt, I was the salt
You put your hope at the bottom of the jar
Sent out a swarm of bees to sting from afar
Or turn the axe around in my hands
Throw me in the fire
Warm yourself, kid yourself a little while
In between moons
I was the spring, I was the spring
In between stars
I was the iron, I was the iron
At first you couldn’t
No, you didn’t love enough
And afterwards, you loved far too much
I don’t know how I’ve come to see the world
Exclusively through your eyes
Everything I buy and eat and do with you in mind

(traduzione)

Tra le lune
Ero il mare, ero il mare
Tra le stelle
Ero il sale, ero il sale
Selvaggio e volgare erano quelli che potevi vedere
I brutti idoli non amati da me
Tra le lune
Ero la primavera, ero la primavera
Tra le stelle
Ero il ferro, ero il ferro
Lavato e strofinato dalla mattina alla sera
Il cielo è pesante sulle mie spalle ma va bene
È successo così molto tempo fa
Non sappiamo quando o come
Nessuno sa cosa stiamo facendo qui anche adesso
Tra le lune
Ero il mare, ero il mare
Tra le stelle
Ero il sale, ero il sale
Metti la tua speranza in fondo al barattolo
Ha inviato uno sciame di api a pungere da lontano
Oppure gira l'ascia nelle mie mani
Gettami nel fuoco
Riscaldati, prenditi in giro per un po'
Tra le lune
Ero la primavera, ero la primavera
Tra le stelle
Ero il ferro, ero il ferro
All'inizio non potevi
No, non hai amato abbastanza
E dopo, hai amato troppo
Non so come sono arrivato a vedere il mondo
Esclusivamente attraverso i tuoi occhi
Tutto ciò che compro, mangio e faccio pensando a te
