You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare
[Chorus х2:]
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sockhop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
When I fall asleep leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I’ll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
[Repeat Chorus:] (2x)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause my dreams are bursting at the seams
Светлячки
Ты бы не поверил глазам,
Если бы десять тысяч светлячков озарили мир, когда я уснул
Они заполнили бы воздух
И оставили повсюду капельки слез
Ты подумал бы, что я плохо воспитан, но я бы просто стоял и глазел
[Припев:]
Хотел бы я поверить,
Что Земля медленно вращается
Сознаюсь, я бы предпочел жить во сне,
Потому что на самом деле все всегда не так, как кажется
Меня окружает тысяча объятий, подаренная тысячей светящихся жучков,
Когда они пытаются учить меня танцевать
Фокстрот над моей головой
Брейкданс под моей кроватью
Диско-шар подвешен за ниточку
[Повторение припева:]
Когда я ложусь спать, оставляю дверь приоткрытой
(Пожалуйста, забери меня отсюда)
Будто бы какой-то лунатик
(…)
Почему я устал считать овец
(…)
До того, как почувствовал, что достаточно устал, чтобы уснуть?
Для десяти миллионов светлячков
Я чудак, потому что ненавижу расставания,
Я ничего не вижу за пеленой слез, когда они прощаются,
Зато я знаю, где достать нескольких,
Если мои сны станут уж очень странными,
Потому что сохранил парочку и закрыл их в банке.
[Повторение припева:] (2x)
Хотел бы я поверить,
Что Земля медленно вращается
Сознаюсь, я бы предпочел жить во сне,
Потому что мои мечты трещат по швам
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare
[Chorus x2:]
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sockhop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
When I fall asleep leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
[Repeat Chorus:] (2x)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause my dreams are bursting at the seams
Fireflies
You would not believe my eyes,
If ten thousand fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep
They would fill the air
And they left around droplets of tears
You would have thought that I was badly brought up, but I would have just stood there and stared
[Chorus:]
I'd like to believe,
That the Earth rotates slowly
I confess that I would prefer to live in a dream,
Because in fact all is not always what it seems
I was surrounded by a thousand hugs, donated thousands of glowing bugs,
When they try to teach me how to dance
Foxtrot above my head
Breakdancing under my bed
Disco ball suspended from the string
[Repeat chorus:]
When I go to bed, I leave the door ajar
(Please take me away from here)
As if some lunatic
(...)
Why am I tired of counting sheep
(...)
Before I felt tired enough to fall asleep?
To ten million fireflies
I'm eccentric, because I hate parting,
I can not see behind the veil of tears when they say goodbye,
But I know where to get some,
If my dreams will become so very strange,
Because the couple and kept them in a closed jar.
[Repeat chorus:] (2x)
I'd like to believe,
That the Earth rotates slowly
I confess that I would prefer to live in a dream,
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
