Antifiesta Lyrics English Translation by Arde Bogotá
I’ll rent a limo and put sad songs on in there
Two thousand two hundred euros plus tip
Me alone in a seat for fifteen
And songs will play that I always said
You shouldn’t listen to, that The National just depresses you
No, ah
I’ll book a club and make them leave it empty for me
Lilac velvet wall
Me alone and nine hundred violins
And songs will play that you told me
You’d never dance to, that without you they’d seem horrible
Cause I’m gonna name myself sole administrator of all my sadness
And I’m gonna forget you
By dancing and drinking and losing my mind
And they’re gonna name me world champion of giving you so much rage and so much sorrow
And I’m gonna forget you
Hidden here in the noise of the crowd and the party
And I’m gonna make sure someone erases you from the music where you left your mark
I’ll put up a skyscraper and make it have a terrible aura
Forty-seven floors of plaster
But empty and with very simple shapes
And in the elevator
I’ll record your voice
Like a robot’s
When it hits the second floor
To remember that the even number
Will never again be our number
I’m gonna name myself sole administrator of all my sadness
And I’m gonna forget you
By dancing and drinking and losing my mind
And they’re gonna name me world champion of giving you so much rage and so much sorrow
And I’m gonna forget you
Hidden here in the noise of the crowd and the party
And I’m gonna make sure someone erases you from the music where you left your mark
And it won’t be
That like Gengar and Clefable we gotta put up with it?
The duality of emptiness, of fullness; of loving and forgetting
No, no
Complicated humans
We look for each other in the mud
We use each other
We love each other
Like a shield and like a hug
I’m gonna throw a massive party
With every single one of my sadnesses
You’re invited to my massive party
To all of yours and all of ours
Welcome to the party
Of sorrow, of sorrow
Welcome to the party
Of sorrow, of sorrow
