Chained To The Rhythm

Katy Perry

Significado

Las letras sociopolíticas son un grito de guerra para que la sociedad deje de vivir en una burbuja y se implique más políticamente y sea menos complaciente. Perry sugiere que la mayoría de la gente está encadenada a un insidioso "ritmo" de conformidad.

Lyrics

bandera Traducción al Español
Are we crazy?

¿Estamos locos?

Living our lives through a lens

Viviendo nuestras vidas a través de una lente

Trapped in our white picket fence

Atrapados en nuestra valla de color blanco

Like ornaments

Como adornos

So comfortable,

Tan cómodos

We're living in a bubble, bubble

Vivimos en una burbuja, burbuja

So comfortable,

Tan cómodos

We cannot see the trouble, trouble

No podemos ver el problema, el problema

Aren't you lonely?

¿No te sientes solo?

Up there in utopia

Allá arriba en la utopía

Where nothing will ever be enough

Donde nada será suficiente

Happily numb

Felizmente insensibles

So comfortable,

Tan cómodos

We're living in a bubble, bubble

Vivimos en una burbuja, burbuja

So comfortable,

Tan cómodos

We cannot see the trouble, trouble

No podemos ver el problema, el problema


(Aha)

(Aha)

So put your rose-colored glasses on

Así que ponte tus gafas de color rosa

And party on

Y que empiece la fiesta


Turn it up, it's your favorite song

Sube el volumen, es tu canción favorita

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Baila, baila, baila hasta la distorsión

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Sube el volumen, ponlo en modo repetición

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie, yeah

Dando tumbos como un zombie borracho

We think we're free (Aha)

Creemos que somos libres (Aha)

Drink, this one's on me

Bebe, esta ronda la pago yo

We're all chained to the rhythm

Estamos todos encadenados al ritmo

To the rhythm

Al ritmo

To the rhythm

Al ritmo


Turn it up, it's your favorite song

Sube el volumen, es tu canción favorita

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Baila, baila, baila hasta la distorsión

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Sube el volumen, ponlo en modo repetición

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie, yeah

Dando tumbos como un zombie borracho

We think we're free (Aha)

Creemos que somos libres (Aha)

Drink, this one's on me

Bebe, esta ronda la pago yo

We're all chained to the rhythm

Estamos todos encadenados al ritmo

To the rhythm

Al ritmo

To the rhythm

Al ritmo


Are we tone deaf?

¿Estamos sordos?

Keep sweeping it under the mat

Seguimos barriéndolo debajo de la alfombra

Thought we could do better than that

Creí que podíamos hacerlo mejor que eso

I hope we can

Espero que podamos

So comfortable,

Tan cómodos

We're living in a bubble, bubble

Vivimos en una burbuja, burbuja

So comfortable,

Tan cómodos

We cannot see the trouble, trouble

No podemos ver el problema, el problema


(Aha)

(Aha)

So put your rose-colored glasses on

It is my desire

Es mi deseo

Break down the walls to connect, inspire, ay

Derribar los muros para conectar, inspirar, sí

Up in your high place, liars

Arriba en tus altas esferas, mentirosos

Time is ticking for the empire

El tiempo corre para el imperio

The truth they feed is feeble

La verdad que alimentan es muy débil

As so many times before

Como tantas veces antes

They greed over the people

Ellos tienes ambiciones por encima de las personas

They stumbling and fumbling

Tropiezan y titubean

And we about to riot

Y estamos a punto de amotinarnos

They woke up, they woke up the lions

Han despertado, han despertado a los leones

(Woo!)

(Woo!)


Turn it up, it's your favorite song

Sube el volumen, es tu canción favorita

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Baila, baila, baila hasta la distorsión

Turn it up (turn it up, turn it up),

Sube el volumen (Sube el volumen)

Keep it on repeat

Ponlo en modo repetición

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie

Dando tumbos como un zombie borracho

(like a wasted zombie), yeah

(como un zombie borracho), yeah

We think we're free (Aha)

Creemos que somos libres (Aha)

Drink, this one's on me

Bebe, esta ronda la pago yo

We're all chained to the rhythm

Estamos todos encadenados al ritmo

To the rhythm

Al ritmo

To the rhythm

Al ritmo


It goes on and on and on

Sigue y sigue y sigue y sigue

It goes on and on and on

Sigue y sigue y sigue y sigue

It goes on and on and on

Sigue y sigue y sigue y sigue

'Cause we're all chained to the rhythm

Estamos todos encadenados al ritmo

To stumble is to trip, but not necessarily fall down. To "stumble around" is to be unsteady on your feet, possibly bumping into things, or to be unbalanced. While the phrase is used in your sentence with the idea of alcohol causing it you'll also often hear "stumbling around in the dark" which means that someone is having difficulty moving through a dark area, bumping into things, knocking things over, tripping over things, etc. (ES: dando tumbos)
Alcoholics don't run in my family, they stumble around and break shit.
