lyrics

ENGLISH:

We’re heathens.
We weren’t meant for heaven.
We’re wicked.
Rejected by our own people.

But they don’t know where we been.
No, they don’t know where we been.
Watch our ship sinkin’.
No, they don’t know where we been.

FRENCH FRANÇAIS

Nous sommes païens.
- We are pagans.
Et j’ai sommeil.
- And I’m tired.
Oh, mon lapin.
- Oh, my darling (my bunny).
Comment allons nous échapper?
- How will we escape?

Il ne sav pas qui nous sommes.
- They don’t know who we are.
Resté seul dans vos royaume.
- Left alone in your kingdom.

Muy boremsya s nespravedlivost’yu [мы боремся с несправедливостью]
- We fight injustice.
No. Muy boremsya za lyubov. [Но мы боремся за любовь]
- But. We fight for love.

Oni nye znyut, naskol’ko muy lubyim. [Они не знают, насколько мы любим]

No davayte prostim [но давайте простим.]

Liss Victory Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Playing a grungy guitar rhythm paired with thought-provoking lyrics, she writes "hurricane-voiced songs that can be dark, but not necessarily bleak." Her work reflects a Middle American background, growing up in the shadows of a withering industrial Pennsylvania during the longest war in United States history. ... more
