"Translation" is a track by Songs: Ohia, from the album My Morning Jacket / Songs: Ohia, released 11th August 2011. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Translation

The whole world rises up

The whole world's but us

Are we sturdy enough?

The same black river weaves its path

Snakes its light between me

And you

Makes its constant rule, constant change

Makes its constant rule, constant change

And I see two breaths at the boundary

One will be me

The other will seem insane

There is nothing liable like change

There is nothing liable like change

Be your own guide

Be your own guide

Be your own guide
