Aimee Carty - Sister Lyrics & Traduction

They'd ask you what you'd like
And you'd say "What my sister's having"
Same new bike
Same new shoes
When you were 4, and I, 6 or 7
Always right in your eyes and
Oh, I led the way with pride those years ago

It turned to night
Close out the door
Curl up in bed
But leave on the light
We'd read books
You'd read yours and I'd read mine
But I'd help you with the words you didn't know

Oh, I still see you at the edge of your bed
With your freckles and those curls on your head
I never thought I'd learn so much from you
And for the most part I'm just proud
But I guess a part of me just thought it'd always be the other way around
I never thought I'd learn so much from you
I guess I thought I knew it all
I'm sorry I'm just not as great as both of us had thought when we were small

They'd ask you "What's your name?"
And you'd look at me and you'd stand behind
See you were shy
The year that you were turning 7, I was 9
But you soon grew to be quite talkative
And grew to be quite sure
Doesn't seem all that long ago when were both sat on the floor
When we drew pictures of the places that we'd visit in our dreams
Turned in to stories
Then to poems
When you were 12, and I, 14
The year I realised I wasn't always right
And that one hurt
I always thought that I knew more
And that was just the way it worked

Because I still see you at the edge of your bed
With your freckles and those curls on your head
I never thought I'd learn so much from you
And for the most part I'm just proud
But I guess a part of me just hoped it'd always be the other way around
I never thought I'd learn so much from you
I guess I thought I knew it all
I'm sorry I'm just not as great as both of us had thought when we were small

Now I know I'm probably sounding selfish
Oh, I probably sound a fool
'cause of course I want the whole world wide and open for you too
I was just much better as a younger older sister
I hope that it's okay that for a moment I just missed her
But I know how far you'll go
I don't know it all
But I know it's lovely who we are
Though lovely who were when we were small
