awerysopelea - NO TRANSLATION 2

Lyrics

[Intro] They show us where the borders are But never who is standing there [Verse 1] They color every map in red Give every fear a foreign name Your city flickers on my screen Then disappears beneath the blame But somewhere there, a kitchen light A mother waiting up at night Ten minutes in an ordinary room Could turn “them” into “you” [Pre-Chorus] Let me hear your mother tongue Even if I miss the words Some things do not need translation To be felt, to be heard [Chorus] I don’t need a translation To know you’re hurting too Under every accusation There’s a human breaking through Different flags outside the window Same light when morning comes Give me ten minutes of your world I’ll give you ten of mine [Post-Chorus] I hear you Ich hör dich [Verse 2] Behind a username at two a.m. I never ask which flag you wave Your accent breaks across the wire We lose the round, then start again Different clocks and different streets But for one hour, the same team Funny how the world gets small When we need each other to win [Pre-Chorus] What if every screen we watched Showed a life instead of blame? Ten quiet minutes every day Could put a face behind a name [Chorus] I don’t need a translation To know you’re hurting too Under every accusation There’s a human breaking through Different flags outside the window Same light when morning comes Give me ten minutes of your world I’ll give you ten of mine [Post-Chorus] Te escucho Je t’entends I hear you [Bridge] Maybe peace is not a promise Maybe it begins this small A voice you thought would frighten you Saying, “I hear you,” through the wall Te escucho Je t’entends Ich hör dich Ya tebya slyshu Wǒ tīngjiàn nǐ [Final Chorus] I don’t need a translation Now I know you’re hurting too Under every accusation I can hear the human breaking through Different flags outside the window Same light when morning comes Give me ten minutes of your world And the distance comes undone [Outro] I hear you No translation I hear you
