Continental Divide Lyrics – Seanan McGuire
Singer: Seanan McGuire
Title: Continental Divide
They were the hostages of a common language
Victims of the continental divide
She said ‘yes,’ and he heard ‘no’
He said ‘stay,’ and she heard ‘go.’
It seemed their love was destined to be denied
Shipwrecked on the continental divide
He was born where everything you do has been done before
And history hangs ancient on the vine
The cold Atlantic watched him beating on the future’s door
And knew one day he’d leave the past behind
He was heading for the setting sun
Son of England, on the run
Hoping that he might be satisfied —
Searching for the continental divide
She was born where everything you do is something new
And destiny is easy to forget
She ran through life so fast it seemed as though she fairly flew
And never took a moment to regret
She was waiting, restless, by the wood
Hoping life would do her good
Looking for a door she hadn’t tried —
Daughter of the continental divide
How they met doesn’t matter; all that matters is they met
Every moment changes lifetimes, even the moments we’d rather forget
She said her name was Alice. He said that he was charmed
But their words kept changing meanings, left them frozen and alarmed…
No one ever told them languages lied
When you’re standing on the continental divide
Sometimes words get tangled, signals fade and lines get crossed —
Sometimes what we mean just can’t get through
They both knew what they wanted, but the meanings all got lost;
Sometimes there’s no way to know what’s true
They both felt that they were speaking clear
And somehow, neither one could hear
The feelings they weren’t bothering to hide…
Scrambled by the continental divide
They fell in love the way some people get in accidents;
Sometimes luck decides the way things go
He said ‘I love you’, but she never realized what he meant
And you can’t act on what you never know
They were hiding, hoping to be found
Fumbling for common ground
Praying that their meanings would collide…
Reaching for the continental divide
She said ‘yes,’ and he heard ‘no’
He said ‘stay,’ and she heard ‘go.’
It seemed their love was destined to be denied
Shipwrecked on the continental divide
She said that she was leaving; what she meant was ‘make me stay.’
It’s hard to tell the truth when you’re afraid
He said that he would miss her, when the things he meant to say
Were ‘please’ and ‘I’d be happy if you stayed.’
Well, the story could have ended there
But he wrapped his fingers through her hair
And said, “there’s just one thing we haven’t tried” —
And he kissed her on the continental divide
They found a common language —
He put his hand on hers
They found a common language
That wasn’t based on words
That night he/she told her/him everything
And neither of them lied
For they were finally standing on
The same side of the continental divide
Now she says ‘yes,’ and they both know;
He says ‘stay’ — where would they go?
Sometimes a happy ending can be supplied
To the ones who spend their lifetimes upon
The continental divide — she says ‘yes,’
And they both know…
They’re the children of the continental divide

Continental Divide – Terjemahan / Translation
Mereka adalah sandera bahasa umum
Korban Divide Kontinental
Dia berkata ‘ya,’ dan dia mendengar ‘tidak’
Dia berkata ‘tetap,’ dan dia mendengar ‘pergi.’
Sepertinya cinta mereka ditakdirkan untuk ditolak
Kapal karam di benua divide
Ia lahir di mana semua yang Anda lakukan telah dilakukan sebelumnya
Dan sejarah hang kuno di atas anggur
Atlantik yang dingin menyaksikannya memukuli pintu masa depan
Dan suatu hari tahu dia akan meninggalkan masa lalu
Dia menuju matahari terbenam
Son of England, dalam pelarian
Berharap dia bisa puas –
Mencari Divide Continental
Dia lahir di mana semua yang Anda lakukan adalah sesuatu yang baru
Dan takdir mudah dilupakan
Dia berlari dalam hidup begitu cepat sehingga sepertinya dia cukup terbang
Dan tidak pernah meluangkan waktu sejenak untuk menyesal
Dia sedang menunggu, gelisah, di dekat kayu
Berharap Hidup akan berbuat baik padanya
Mencari pintu yang belum dia coba –
Putri dari Continental Divide
Bagaimana mereka bertemu tidak masalah; Yang penting adalah mereka bertemu
Setiap momen mengubah masa hidup, bahkan saat -saat yang lebih baik kami lupakan
Dia mengatakan namanya Alice. Dia mengatakan bahwa dia terpesona
Tapi kata -kata mereka terus mengubah makna, membiarkannya membeku dan khawatir …
Tidak ada yang pernah memberi tahu mereka bahasa yang dibohongi
Saat Anda berdiri di atas benua
Terkadang kata -kata menjadi kusut, sinyal memudar dan garis disilang –
Terkadang apa yang kami maksud tidak bisa melewati
Mereka berdua tahu apa yang mereka inginkan, tetapi makna semuanya hilang;
Terkadang tidak ada cara untuk mengetahui apa yang benar
Mereka berdua merasa bahwa mereka berbicara dengan jelas
Dan entah bagaimana, tidak ada yang bisa mendengar
Perasaan yang mereka tidak repot -repot bersembunyi …
Diacak oleh kesenjangan benua
Mereka jatuh cinta dengan cara beberapa orang mengalami kecelakaan;
Terkadang keberuntungan memutuskan cara berjalan
Dia berkata ‘Aku mencintaimu’, tapi dia tidak pernah menyadari apa yang dia maksud
Dan Anda tidak dapat bertindak berdasarkan apa yang tidak pernah Anda ketahui
Mereka bersembunyi, berharap dapat ditemukan
Meraba -raba landasan bersama
Berdoa agar makna mereka akan bertabrakan …
Mencapai Divide Continental
Dia berkata ‘ya,’ dan dia mendengar ‘tidak’
Dia berkata ‘tetap,’ dan dia mendengar ‘pergi.’
Sepertinya cinta mereka ditakdirkan untuk ditolak
Kapal karam di benua divide
Dia mengatakan bahwa dia akan pergi; Maksudnya adalah ‘Buat aku tinggal.’
Sulit untuk mengatakan yang sebenarnya saat Anda takut
Dia mengatakan bahwa dia akan merindukannya, ketika hal -hal yang ingin dia katakan
‘Tolong’ dan ‘Saya akan senang jika Anda tinggal.’
Nah, ceritanya bisa berakhir di sana
Tapi dia membungkus jari -jarinya ke rambutnya
Dan berkata, “hanya ada satu hal yang belum kami coba” –
Dan dia menciumnya di benua membagi
Mereka menemukan bahasa umum –
Dia meletakkan tangannya di tangannya
Mereka menemukan bahasa yang umum
Itu tidak didasarkan pada kata -kata
Malam itu dia memberitahunya segalanya
Dan tak satu pun dari mereka berbohong
Karena mereka akhirnya berdiri
Sisi yang sama dari pembagian benua
Sekarang dia berkata ‘ya,’ dan mereka berdua tahu;
Dia bilang ‘tetap’ – kemana mereka pergi?
Terkadang akhir yang bahagia dapat disediakan
Kepada orang -orang yang menghabiskan hidup mereka
The Continental Divide – dia mengatakan ‘ya,’
Dan mereka berdua tahu …
Mereka adalah anak -anak dari pembagian benua
