Bombay
I'm hovering above you just in case you disappear,
I want you to remember the first time I held you near,
There's something I can't fathom, I have never worked it out
Why the hell can I not really see what's right in front of me?
We can't behave like children, we have lived and we should have learnt
from everything that happened in all the places that we went
Don't run off to China the people don't use curtains there
They overshare, but we preferred to hide and live so unaware.
You've forgotten your umbrella as you walk along the shore
Of the island that gets violent when I don't come back again
Not everything's my fault, it's different this time
If you disagree, maybe you don't want to see,
Or you just can't see me.
When a fire burns to nothing it might one day realight
I'm trying to believe you but it sounds like a fairytale
I haven't written anything for hundreds of days
and even worse, it feels like I'm still burnt
even if you hear me now.
Now, you know
why I ask you to stay
where you can reach
whatever you're trying to get
But tell me, though
why you ask me to stay
where you can check up on me
until you're bored of someone else.

This is not a literal translation! I've tried to make it fit the rhyming patterns and rhythms of the original. Let me know if you have any comments.
