Noah Kahan Responded To Kidz Bop Editing His Song Lyrics
I can’t recall the last time that we talked
About anything but hanging with the cops
We got the same rug burns on the same side of our hands
But we ain’t friends, we’re just two kids who broke skin in the same spot
But I’ve never seen you take a turn that wide
And I’m smart enough to still care if I try
So I tried to read the thoughts that you worked overtime to stop
You said, “Get lost,” and I said nothin’ for a while
Translation: Mujhe yaad nahi ki aakhri baar humne kab baat ki thi,
kisi aur cheez ke baare mein, siwaye police ke saath ghoomne-phirne ke,
hamare haathon ke ek hi taraf ek jaise ghaav ke nishaan hain,
lekin hum dost nahi hain, bas do bachche hain jo ek hi jagah par zakhmi hue the,
par maine tumhe kabhi itna bada mod lete nahi dekha,
aur main itna samajhdaar hoon ki agar koshish karun to aaj bhi parwah karta hoon,
isliye maine un khayalon ko samajhne ki koshish ki jinhe tumne chhupane ke liye bahut mehnat ki,
tumne kaha, “Door ho jao,” aur main kuch der tak kuch nahi bola.
You know I think about you all the time
And my deep misunderstanding of your life
And how bad it must have been for you back then
And how hard it was to keep it all inside
Translation: Tum jaante ho ki main har waqt tumhare baare mein sochta hoon,
aur tumhari zindagi ko lekar meri gehri galatfahmi ke baare mein bhi,
aur ye ki us waqt tumhare liye sab kitna mushkil raha hoga,
aur kitna kathin tha ye sab apne andar daba kar rakhna.
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich (Oh)
I hope you’re scared of only ordinary-ness (Oh)
Like creepy thoughts and ghosts and spiders on your skin (Oh)
And not the soul and what He might do with it
Translation: Main umeed karta hoon ki tum apni zindagi mein sukoon pao, aur kisi ameer insaan se shaadi karo,
main umeed karta hoon ki tum sirf aam aur saadharan cheezon se hi daro,
jaise daraavne khayal, bhoot ya twacha par rengti makdiyan,
na ki apni rooh se aur usse jo Khuda uske saath kar sakta hai.
You inched yourself across the great divide
While we drove aimlessly along the Twin State line
I heard nothing but the bass in every ballad that you’d play
While you said to me the singer read your mind
But the world is scared of hesitating things
Yeah, they only cage the birds who cannot sing
And I’m finally aware of how petty and unfair
It was to stare ahead like everything was fine
Translation: Tum dheere-dheere us badi doori ko paar karte rahe,
jabki hum Twin State ki seema ke saath bina kisi manzil ke gaadi chala rahe the,
tum jo bhi geet bajate the, mujhe unmein sirf bass ki awaaz sunai deti thi,
jabki tum kehte the ki gaayak ne tumhare dil ki baat padh li hai,
lekin duniya hichkichane wali cheezon se darti hai,
haan, woh sirf un parindon ko pinjre mein band karti hai jo gaa nahi sakte,
aur ab mujhe ehsaas hua hai ki kitna chhota aur na-insaafi bhara tha,
aise saamne dekhte rehna jaise sab kuch theek ho.
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich (Oh)
I hope you’re scared of only ordinary-ness (Oh)
Like creepy thoughts and ghosts and spiders on your skin (Oh)
And not the soul and what He might do with it (Ah)
Translation: Main umeed karta hoon ki tum apni zindagi mein sukoon pao, aur kisi ameer insaan se shaadi karo,
main umeed karta hoon ki tum sirf aam aur saadharan zindagi se hi daro,
jaise daraavne khayal, bhoot ya twacha par rengti makdiyan,
na ki apni rooh se aur usse jo Khuda uske saath kar sakta hai.
Rage, in small ways
Did you wish that I could know?
You’d fade to some place
I wasn’t brave enough to go
Translation: Chhote-chhote tareekon se ubharta hua gussa,
kya tum chahte the ki main ise samajh paun?
Tum dheere-dheere kisi aisi jagah chale jaate,
jahaan jaane ki himmat mujh mein nahi thi.
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
I hope you’re scared of only ordinary-ness
Like creepy thoughts and ghosts and spiders on your skin
And not the soul and what He might do with it
Translation: Main umeed karta hoon ki tum apni zindagi mein sukoon pao, aur kisi ameer insaan se shaadi karo,
main umeed karta hoon ki tum sirf aam aur saadharan zindagi se hi daro,
jaise daraavne khayal, bhoot ya twacha par rengti makdiyan,
na ki apni rooh se aur usse jo Khuda uske saath kar sakta hai.
Ah
Ah
