Wait For You
Rivers & Robots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They tell me what to do and who i am
I begin to think it's all unreal
All the lies and mysteries of this scheme
I am very disappointed with
They tell me what to do and who i am
Looking in the mirror seeing ghost
Everything about me so fuckin' lost
Hey wait for me
All the time surrounded by the walls
Empty looks of people with no tongues
Everything reminds me of this jail
You put me through it all on such a scale
Hey wait
Hey wait for me
Hey wait
I need to be free
Hey wait
Hey wait
Hey wait for me
Hey wait for me
I need to be free
Hey wait
Hey wait
Hey wait for me

Lyrics:
How long now, until you come
Until we see you, as the eternal son
Just like the evening for the morning sun
We wait for you
There will be a day when we are one
Together in a city made of pure gold
And we will be forever in your love
I just want to be with you my God
I just want to be with you forever
In the glory and the beauty of your love
I know God, you will surely come
You have promised, and you’re the faithful one
So hear the spirit and the bride say: Come
We wait for you
Then when you come
The bridegroom and bride will be one
There’ll be no need for the sun
Cause you will be the light
Then when we meet
There’ll be the greatest of feasts
Your face I will finally see
As you wipe the tears from my eyes

Rivers & Robots – Wait For You - Жду Тебя
Так жду я, ты придешь, Иисус,
На облаках я к Богу вознесусь!
И все увидят красоту Твою!
Тебя так жду! Тебя так жду!
День придет, и в город золотой
Ты введешь меня! Теперь навеки
Жажду утолит Твоя любовь!
Так хочу я быть всегда с Тобой!
Светом озари Своим вовеки,
Славой окружи и красотой!
Я знаю, Ты придешь, Иисус,
Ведь обещал Ты, и я, Господь, дождусь!
Дух и невеста зовут: «Скорей прийди!»
С Небес сойди! С Небес сойди!
День придет, и в город золотой
Ты введешь меня! Теперь навеки
Жажду утолит Твоя любовь!
Так хочу я быть всегда с Тобой!
Светом озари Своим вовеки,
Славой окружи и красотой!
В тот день откроешь небеса,
К Тебе возвысим голоса!
Ты солнца свет, Господь, Собой затмишь!
Нас Дух к Иисусу вознесет,
Все слезы с глаз Господь утрет,
Венчаться с Агнцем в царстве Бога будем мы!
День придет, и в город золотой
Ты введешь меня! Теперь навеки
Жажду утолит Твоя любовь!
Так хочу я быть всегда с Тобой!
Светом озари Своим вовеки,
Славой окружи и красотой!

I was listening to this in a playlist at work while translating some contract, and I had to stop, look up the song and give it a thumbs up. It is just so rare that songs about the longing for heaven and Jesus" return are in artists' hearts... It just makes my heart rejoice at the thought of that glorious moment! :)

Taí uma música marcante. Essa foi a última música tocada no show do Rivers and Robots em Brasília, no dia 11 de março de 2020. Meu namorado, que me apresentou à banda, me deu o ingresso de presente. Aproveitamos ao máximo. Eu me lembro claramente de todo mundo amontoado em frente ao palco, só curtindo o momento. Assim que cheguei em casa, soube do decreto do governador, publicado naquela mesma noite, que suspendia as aulas e proibia shows e outras formas de aglomeração. Naquela época, havia apenas dois casos confirmados de coronavírus no DF. Esse foi o último show ao qual fui, o último momento de vida "normal", antes de toda a preocupação e de todo o caos. Ainda bem que fui a esse show. Ainda bem que aproveitei ao máximo. Ainda bem que tenho essa memória guardada. Essa banda é incrível.

Deve ter sido uma experiência incrivel :)
