Lyrics & translation
Verse
The copper kettle leaks across the table
La bouilloire en cuivre fuit sur la table
We let the metal corrode in silence
On a laissé le métal se corroder en silence
Too many words were left untold
Trop de mots sont restés non-dits
Now we are cleaning off the dust
Maintenant nous nettoyons toute la poussière
Chorus
Wait for the water to boil
Attendons que l'eau se mette à bouillir
Fixing the circuit and the coil
Réparant le circuit et la bobine
Steam rises softly between our hands
La vapeur monte doucement entre nos mains
Wait for the water to boil
Attendons que l'eau se mette à bouillir
Verse
I hold the wires in my hand
Je tiens les fils dans ma main
You find the screw to fit the base
Tu trouves la vis pour le socle
This last repair gives us a chance
Cette dernière réparation nous donne une chance
Watching the light return to your face
Regardant la lumière revenir sur ton visage
Chorus
Wait for the water to boil
Attendons que l'eau se mette à bouillir
Fixing the circuit and the coil
Réparant le circuit et la bobine
Steam rises softly between our hands
La vapeur monte doucement entre nos mains
Wait for the water to boil
Attendons que l'eau se mette à bouillir
Bridge
It takes a spark to start again
Il faut une étincelle pour recommencer
Flowing like soft summer rain
Coulant comme une douce pluie d'été
Chorus
Wait for the water to boil
Attendons que l'eau se mette à bouillir
Fixing the circuit and the coil
Réparant le circuit et la bobine
Steam rises softly between our hands
La vapeur monte doucement entre nos mains
Wait for the water to boil
Attendons que l'eau se mette à bouillir
