The Lumineers "Cleopatra" lyrics

Translation to:elesfihrittr

Cleopatra

I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actressWhen you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my handBut I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dressWith my father in a casket, I had no plans

And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpetAnd it hardened like my heart did when you left townBut I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instantDamn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my lifeAnd when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within meYes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held trueSo I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts meFrom the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my lifeAnd when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorceBut I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part

I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the raftersBut that's all in the past now, gone with the windNow a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroomIt's a bed and a bathroomand a place for the end

I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my lifeAnd when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

Kleopatra

Bila sam Kleopatra, bila sam mlada i bila sam glumicaKad si kleknuo uz moj madrac, i zatražio moju rukuAli bila sam tužna što si pitao, dok sam ležala u crnoj haljiniA otac mi u škrinji, nisam imala planova

I ostavila sam tragove, blato je umrljalo sagI očvrsnulo je kao moje srce kad si napustio gradAli moram priznati, da bih se udala u trenuProkleta tvoja žena, bila bih ti ljubavnica samo da te imam blizu

Ali zakasnila sam po to, zakasnila po to, zakasnila po ljubav u svome životuI kad umrem sama, kad umrem sama, kad umrem, bit ću na vrijeme

Dok je crkva obeshrabrivala svaku požudu što je u meni gorjelaDa, moja put, to je bila moja valuta, ali bila sam iskrenaPa vozim taksi, i promet me odvlačiOd stranaca na mome stražnjem sjedalu, podsjećaju me na tebe

Ali zakasnila sam po to, zakasnila po to, zakasnila po ljubav u svome životuI kad umrem sama, kad umrem sama, kad umrem, bit ću na vrijeme

I jedini darovi moga Gospoda bili su rođenje i razvodAli pročitala sam ovaj scenarij i kostim odgovara, pa ću odigrati svoju ulogu

Bila sam Kleopatra, bila sam viša od splavaraAli ti je sve sad prošlost, prohujala s vihoromSad me sestra u bijelim cipelama vodi do moje gostinjske sobe, krevet i kupaonicaI mjesto za svršetak

Neću zakasniti na to, zakasniti na to, zakasniti na ljubav svog životaI kad umrem sama, kad umrem sama, kad umrem, bit ću na vrijeme
