about

Sometimes we get so caught up in things that are lost in translation, we don’t allow ourselves to stop for a moment and appreciate the things that simply can’t be translated. For Boston indie-pop duo Honest Mechanik, that’s at the heart of their magnetic new single, “Translate,”.

lyrics

Translate

So
far from the start
did we stare
too much at the stars

Oh
Did we do too much
Oh
Did we not do enough

Always second guessing along the way
Sure we’d like join you, but we stay behind
What’s yours ain’t mine

Hold you, squeeze you, tell you all that I know
Love you, give you everything that I own
But I could never give you the one thing you will find on your way
I won’t even know it I can’t pretend to know what to say
Some things don’t translate

So
Close to the part
Where we say
Goodnight to the stars

It’s still you, you’ve been there all along
But tell us who to talk to when you’ve gone away
It’s ok
We don’t need to understand today

Hold you, squeeze you, tell you all that I know
Love you, give you everything that I own
But I could never give you the one thing you will find on your way
I won’t even know it I can’t pretend to know what to say
Some things don’t translate, Some things don’t translate
