England
Ed Sheeran Lyrics

It is opening day and a brand new start
Today marks the beginning of something new and fresh

The stones have been cleared around the fisherman's hut
The area surrounding the fisherman's hut has been tidied up and made clear

And the air bites, then leaves almost invisible cuts on the skin
The cold air has a sharpness that can barely be felt, leaving indiscernible marks on the skin

A lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired
An old lighthouse was replaced by a new one

About twenty foot taller, painted in black and white
The new lighthouse is approximately twenty feet taller and painted in contrasting colors

Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him
The new lighthouse operates automatically using advanced technology instead of a human keeper

Only one road sign
There is just a solitary road sign

Telling cars to slow down
The road sign instructs drivers to decrease their speed

And a long drop in the ocean
There is a significant distance between the land and the vast ocean

Beware of the rip tide
People should be cautious of strong underwater currents

Broken glass and train lines
There are fragments of broken glass and railway tracks

It's a new day, and this is England
A fresh day has dawned, highlighting the essence of England

Next to the pub with the flag that's working flexible hours
Adjacent to the pub where the flag is flown with variable hours of operation

There's a mismatch of carriages, soil in a boat for some flowers
There is an assortment of carriages and a boat filled with soil to grow flowers

Fairy lights on a building that's supplying us power from the sea
Decorative lights adorn a structure that harnesses energy from the sea

Electricity lines flow like veins to the town
Electricity cables resemble veins, supplying power to the town

In between there is nothing but grass and pebbles on the ground
The landscape is devoid of any significant features, only consisting of grass and small stones

Do not enter the wild here if you want to be found for the free
If you desire to experience freedom, avoid venturing into the untamed wilderness here

View the flame of sunrise
Witness the fiery glow of the rising sun

Cut in half by the sky
The horizon seemingly divides the sun in half

And the empty of the desert
The emptiness and vastness of the desert landscape

Team of birds that swerve by
A group of birds swiftly maneuver through the air

And then land on the wires
They eventually settle on the electrical wires

It's a new day, and this is England
A fresh day has begun, emphasizing the essence of England

When it's time to escape from the heavy of this
When one needs to escape from life's burdensome weight

There is nothing like washing away
There is nothing quite as rejuvenating as cleansing oneself

I find this country of mine gets a bad reputation
I observe that my homeland receives unjust negative opinions

Of being cold and grey
Of being perceived as lacking warmth and vibrancy

But on the coast of the south, to the east followed 'round
However, on the southern coastline, extending towards the east

I find serenity I've never felt
I discover a sense of tranquility that is entirely new to me

There's a peace and a quiet in this island of ours
This island we call our own exudes a peaceful and serene atmosphere

That can't be mirrored by anywhere else
This unique ambiance cannot be replicated elsewhere

Homes protruding from stones with their wood-coloured black
Dwellings emerging from stone structures with their wooden exteriors painted black

Scattered cars in a line, steam rising out the shack
Cars sporadically parked in a row, and steam emanating from a small building

One door at the front and then just glass at the back for the view
A single entrance at the front, while the rear side consists mainly of windows to enjoy the scenery

And the blue is so bright
The shade of blue is exceptionally vivid

You need shades for your eyes
It is necessary to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes

And a cable to pull over
And a cord to pull down for shade

Take a walk and feel like
Stroll around and experience the sensation of

Everything will be fine
Assurance that everything will be alright

It's a new day, and this is England
A fresh day has arrived, symbolizing the spirit of England
