Текст песни King of the World (Daniel Lemma) с переводом

I was running down the stairs

I had to fill my lungs with air

I would have shouted to high heavens

if I only had the word

And I was, I was the King of the world

And then I laid you here across my breast

You sighed then you came to rest

About the size of my underarm

Just about the weight of a bird

And I was, I was the King of the world

Time is a brute

With claws we get caught between

You’ll get older and you’ll look at me

And I know it may not seem

Like on an august afternoon

I left your mom and you in that room

And I was running down the stairs

had to fill my lungs with air

In an empty parking lot

I was dancing on the spot

I was, I was the King of the world

Before you had ten hours

and long before a name

You had a gaze so penetrating

I felt both proud and ashamed

But the wow was my best shot

and in that empty parking lot

I had the past on my shoulders

But the future left to my choice

I felt the weight of life’s promise

And then I heard my father’s voice

Saying a baby girl

Now you go be the King of the World
