ANTHEM

The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.

Ah the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed
the marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
of every government --
signs for all to see.

I can't run no more
with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.

Ring the bells that still can ring ...

You can add up the parts
but you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march,
there is no drum
Every heart, every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.
HIMNO

Los pájaros cantaban cuando rompía el día
Comienza otra vez les oía decir
No insistas en lo que ha pasado y se ha acabado
o en lo que está por venir aún

Las guerras serán peleadas otra vez
la santa paloma será atrapada nuevamente
comprada y vendida y comprada otra vez
la paloma nunca es libre

Haz sonar las campanas que aún suenen.
Olvida tu ofrecimiento perfecto.
Hay una grieta en todo.
Así es como entra la luz.

Pedimos signos
los signos fueron enviados:
el nacimiento traicionado
el matrimonio consumido
la viudedad
de cada gobierno -
signos para que todos los vean

No puedo correr más con la multitud sin ley
mientras los asesinos en lugares altos
dicen sus oraciones a viva voz.
Pero ellos han conjurado una nube de tormenta
y van a oír de mí

Puedes reunir las partes pero no tendrás la suma
Puedes atacar la marcha no hay batería
Cada corazón al amor llegará
pero como un refugiado

Haz sonar las campanas que aún suenen.
Olvida tu ofrecimiento perfecto.
Hay una grieta en todo.
Así es como entra la luz.
