Текст Vampire Weekend – Ya Hey

Verse 1:
Oh, sweet thing
Zion doesn’t love you
And Babylon don’t love you

Pre-chorus:
In the dark of this place
There’s the glow of your face
There’s the dust on the screen
Of this broken machine
And I can’t help but feel
That I’ve made some mistake
But I let it go
Ya Hey 3x

Chorus:
Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya hey 2x, Ut Deo, ya hey 2x)
You won’t even say your name
(Ya hey 2x, Ut Deo, ya hey 2x)
Through the fire and through the flames
You won’t even say your name
Only «I am what I am»
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya Hey 2x)
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo

Verse 2:
Oh, the motherland don’t love you
The fatherland don’t love you
So why love anything?
Oh, good God
The faithless they don’t love you
The zealous hearts don’t love you
And that’s not gonna change

Pre-chorus:
All the cameras and files
All the paranoid styles
All the tension and fear
Of a secret career
And I can’t help but feel
That you’ve seen the mistakes
But you let it go
Ya Hey 3x

Chorus

Outside the tents, on the festival grounds
As the air began to cool, and the sun went down
My soul swooned, as I faintly heard the sound
Of you spinning «Israelites»
Into «19th Nervous Breakdown»

Chorus

Refrain:
Through the fire and through the flames
You won’t even say your name
Only «I am what I am»
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya Hey 2x)
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo
