Текст песни The Capital (Anthonie Tonnon) с переводом

I know we’ve really lost you to the capital this time

Though I loved to watch you swimming against the motorways

And they’ll try to say the city is in transition

But you can’t wait on that line

So just come out tonight

We can drown all the memories

Between the sound of the traffic and the sea

Some awful zombie film was playing on your laptop

You smelt of chlorine we were spilling gin on the couch

Your ceiling about to give out

To the mould and the storm and I knew then

That would have been the moment

To bite your shoulders and hold on

I wouldn’t have lasted long, you know

I never swim with my head right under

You want to believe in the water

In a town that can pull you back up

And in the capital

Oh in the capital

I believe in the capital

They’ll do that for you

On your famous balcony

We could see both oceans

The body of the population

And the motorway flowing

Like a pulsing artery

You said imagine a giant knife cutting through it

The cars spurting straight up

Now the sky is black like the end of a movie

The stars are dim

But you can read the credits

If you look closely

Now stronger swimmers will move into these spaces

Pay too much rent

Make those mistakes

Beneath the din of the sea and the motorway
