[Verse 1]
Fresh blood rolls in wearing oxygen like perfume,
Knocks on the muscle door, lights up the room,
Every cell reaches out, takes just what it needs,
Burns it up quick like a struck match feeds.
[Verse 2]
Now the trade is finished, the oxygen's gone,
Left behind is carbon dioxide, exhaust of the job well done,
The blood that walked in bright walks out looking dim,
Low on oxygen now, running thin, running slim.
[Chorus]
Втомлена кров, tired and thin,
Треба додому — time to head back again,
Serce is calling, "повертайся до мене,"
Heart's the mechanic, fixing blood for free,
Low oxygen loop, кров іде додому,
Refresh me, refresh me, bring the tired blood home.
[Verse 3]
Through the veins she travels, a highway built one-way,
No red rush of oxygen lighting up her tray,
Squeezing past small valves so she won't slide back,
Purple-blue and patient on that quiet track.
[Verse 4]
She's not broken, just spent — like a phone at empty red,
Needs a plug, needs a charge, needs the heart's own bed,
Right atrium's waiting with the door open wide,
"Welcome home, тиха мандрівнице, come on inside."
[Chorus]
Втомлена кров, tired and thin,
Треба додому — time to head back again,
Serce is calling, "повертайся до мене,"
Heart's the mechanic, fixing blood for free,
Low oxygen loop, кров іде додому,
Refresh me, refresh me, bring the tired blood home.
[Bridge]
Кожна крапля пам'ятає шлях назад,
Every drop remembers the way back,
No oxygen, no glow, just a debt that's owed,
Carbon dioxide riding shotgun down the low-pressure road,
Це не кінець, це просто зупинка,
Serce б'ється, кров тече знову.
[Verse 5]
From the right ventricle, one more push, one more shove,
Pulmonary artery calling like a whispered love,
Off to the lungs now, where the air waits fresh and bright,
Trading heavy carbon for a breath of morning light.
In the tiny alveoli, oxygen comes to dance,
Every dull red cell gets a second, brighter chance,
She rises up renewed, no longer tired or thin,
Ready for the left side, ready to begin again.
[Outro]
So remember: used blood's tired, used blood's low,
Carbon dioxide's heavy where the oxygen used to go,
Кров, додому, не блукай,
Tired blood, tired blood, heading home — вертай.
[Chorus]
Втомлена кров, tired and thin,
Треба додому — time to head back again,
Serce is calling, "повертайся до мене,"
Heart's the mechanic, fixing blood for free,
Low oxygen loop, кров іде додому,
Refresh me, refresh me, bring the tired blood home.
