Florence + The Machine "All This and Heaven Too" letra

All This and Heaven Too

And the heart is hard to translateIt has a language of its ownIt talks in tongues and quiet sighs,And prayers and proclamationsIn the grand days of great men and the smallest of gesturesAnd short shallow gasps

But with all my education I can’t seem to command itAnd the words are all escaping, and coming back all damagedAnd I would put them back in poetry if I only knew howI can’t seem to understand it

And I would give all this and heaven tooI would give it all if only for a momentThat I could just understand the meaning of the word you see’Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all

And it talks to me in tiptoesAnd it sings to me insideIt cries out in the darkest night and breaks in the morning light

But with all my education I can’t seem to command itAnd the words are all escaping, and coming back all damagedAnd I would put them back in poetry if I only knew howI can’t seem to understand it

And I would give all this and heaven tooI would give it all if only for a momentThat I could just understand the meaning of the word you see‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all

And I would give all this and heaven tooI would give it all if only for a momentThat I could just understand the meaning of the word you see’Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all

No, words are a languageIt doesn’t deserve such treatmentAnd all of my stumbling phrases never amounted to anything worth this feeling

All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as I'm hearing

Words were never so usefulSo I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before

Todo esto y tambien el cielo

Y es duro traducir el coraz´onTiene su propia lenguaHabla y tumba y juzga susurrosY proclamciones presentesEn los grandes d´ias de hombres estupendosY la m´as peque~na de todas las gestasY tragos cortos y llanos

Pero con toda my educaci´onNo parezco controlarloY las palabras est´an todas pausandoY vuelven completamente da~nadasY lo meter´e de nuevo en poes´iaSi solo supiera comoNo aparezco ser capable de comprender

Coro:Y dar´ia todo esto y tambi´en el cieloLo dar´ia todo esto si solo ser´ia por un momentoSi lo supiera entenderel sentindo de la palabra, vesPorque la estaba buscando para siemprePero nunca me da ning´un sentido

Y me habla en la punta de los piesY me canta del interiorY grita hacia la noche ma´s oscuraY quiebra en la luz de la madrugada

Pero con toda my educaci´onNo parezco controlarloY las palabras est´an todas pausandoY vuelven completamente da~nadasY lo meter´e de nuevo en poes´iaSi solo supiera comoNo aparezco ser capable de comprender

Coro x2

No, palabras son la lenguaQue no merece este tratamientoQue todas mis frases balbuceadasNunca acumularon a algo que vale igual que este sentimiento

Todo esto nunca podr´ia ser escrito por el cieloUn sentimiento como el que estoy aqu´i

Palabras nunca eran tan pr´acticas hasta que estuve gritandoUna lengua que nunca sab´ia que exist´ia
