Suantraí Meisciúil [English translation]

when I was young

they asked me

where I hurt myself

they cleaned the small tears,

they kissed my face

they thought that i was ok

when I became older

the nights were shorter,

it didn't matter to me where the pain was

(chorus)

and I only listen to

intoxicating lullabies

to put me to sleep at night x2

health came to me

but my mind is not clean

of the enduring anguish

I'm harassed still

it's a difficult thing to talk about(?)*

if it is not broken

I'm learning every day

but I become older

the nights are shorter,

struggling to live with the pain (**)

(chorus)

and I only listen to

intoxicating lullabies

to put me to sleep at night x2

your words and your insults hurt me

in my heart (***)

they cut, they will always cut

Help me, God's grace

Help me, God's grace

I'm praying, talk to me,

Help me, God's grace

(chorus)

and I only listen to

intoxicating lullabies

to put me to sleep at night

your words and your insults hurt me

in my heart

they cut, they will always cut

your words and your insults hurt me

in my heart

they cut, they will always cut (***)
