Vampire Weekend - Ya Hey Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Oh, sweet thing
Zion doesn't love you
And Babylon don't love you
But you love everything
America don't love you
So I could never love you
In spite of everything
[Pre-chorus:]
In the dark of this place
There's the glow of your face
There's the dust on the screen
Of this broken machine
And I can't help but feel
But I let it go
Ya Hey [3x]
[Chorus:]
Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya hey [2x], Ut Deo, ya hey [2x])
You won't even say your name
(Ya hey [2x], Ut Deo, ya hey [2x])
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only "I am what I am"
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya Hey [2x])
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo
[Verse 2:]
Oh, the motherland don't love you
The fatherland don't love you
So why love anything?
Oh, good God
The faithless they don't love you
The zealous hearts don't love you
And that's not gonna change
[Pre-chorus:]
All the cameras and files
All the paranoid styles
All the tension and fear
Of a secret career
And I can't help but feel
That you've seen the mistakes
But you let it go
Ya Hey [3x]
[Chorus]
Outside the tents, on the festival grounds
As the air began to cool, and the sun went down
My soul swooned, as I faintly heard the sound
Of you spinning "Israelites"
Into "19th Nervous Breakdown"
[Chorus]
[Refrain:]
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only "I am what I am"
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya Hey [2x])
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo

There's no doubt these are a talented bunch but lets give credit to the amazing sound production :-)
I feel this is about someone who actually believes that God exists, but can't really find a way to connect or understand him. For this person, God seems to be someone who loves all, but from afar; he's mysterious, almost as if it didn't want to get involved with people.
Or has come to terms with his non-existence. Like a lot of songs, the meaning really depends on who's listening
Of COURSE there is a slight pause at ‘Fatherland’ absolute genius..
Hola buen dia desde México. Alguien que la traduzca a español por favor
Oh dulzura
Zion no te ama
Y Babilonia no te ama
Pero tú amas todo
Oh, Santidad
America no te ama
Asi que nunca podré amarte
A pesar de todo
En la oscuridad del lugar
Está el brillo de tu rostro
Está el polvo en la pantalla
De esta rota maquina
Y no puedo hacer nada
Más que sentir que he cometido errores
Pero los dejo ir
Ya Hey! Ya Hey! Ya Hey!
A traves del fuego y las llamas
Ni siquiera tu nombre dirás(x2)
Solo "Soy lo que soy"
Pero ¿Quien podría vivir así?
Oh, la madre patria no te ama
La patria no te ama
Así que ¿Por qué amar?
Oh, buen Dios
Los hombres sin fe no te aman
Los corazones recelosos no te aman
Y eso no va a cambiar
Toda cámara y archivo
Todo tipo de paranoia
Toda tensión y miedo
De una secreta profesión
Y no puedo hacer nada
Más que sentir que tú ves los errores
Y los dejas ir
Ya Hey! Ya Hey! Ya Hey!
A través del fuego y las llamas
Ni siquiera tu nombre dirás
A través del corazón y las llamas
Ni siquiera tu nombre dirás
Tú dices "Soy lo que soy"
Pero ¿Quien podría vivir así?
Ut deo
Fuera de las carpas
En las tierras festivas
El aire comenzó a enfriar
Y el Sol bajó
Mi alma de desvaneció
Al escuchar debilmente el sonido
De ti exclamando "Israelites"
En la 19ena ruptura nerviosa
A través del fuego y las llamas
Ni siquiera tu nombre dirás (x2)
Solo "Soy lo que soy"
Pero ¿Quien podría vivir así?
A través del fuego y las llamas
Ni siquiera tu nombre dirás (x2)
Solo "Soy lo que soy"
Pero ¿Quien podría vivir así?
Ut Deo, Deo.
im only here because this song was the only song my dad listened to and he passed away recently and now im crying while listening to this
THIS LIFE
Menuda canción más subliminal no??
Yes, tiene un mensaje tan profundo en una sola canción
2013 seems like it was just yesterday
how does anyone downvote this???
Vampire weekend songs are just so confusing and wonderful.
a piece of art suitable for those going through a crisis of faith.
thanks kaptain
I love this song
🛸🌐 #Saint
This song makes me feel nostalgic.
Who is listening in 2019? Stranger Things brought me here. This song has special memories for me because it was playing on the radio when my father drove my mother to the hospital to give birth to me. Just give me a thumb already!
How old are you?
I wish they could add this song to the soundtrack of american gods
Adoro a estos tipos 💜
Best song of 2013. Hands down.
21st century Pet Sounds, a true masetrpiece
God's silence
Lmao the “?” when he’s speaking Latin
It’s Ut Deo, which means “As God”
It’s basically Ezra disguising the questioning of God so he doesn’t get boycotted :P
Daddy has the song on the computer
Don’t get it twisted. This song is about God.
Este disco es una locura, gracias.
The most beautiful song I’ve ever heard .
I really enjoy this song....thanks i hope to see you soon again...
still here after 6 years
Yahusha loves you
So good
Ótima música 🎶🎵👌❤️

Pleas help me to save the planet 🙏
Great song, powerful message, thank you 🙏
Holy shit, is that Christina Applegate?
I scoff at Constantine's grab at power, but can I join you for Satyr at some point? I'm a Paegan Cherokee btw.
2019 love this song😄ya hey
This song is just beautiful. Can’t believe more people have listened to it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
2019 and still my fav song
If People only knew who this song was talking about. Ya Hey is the Name used called to God Yahweh In not using his real name I AM THAT I AM is what God said his name was to Moses when he was talking to him through the Bush The was on Fire.
He doesn't know who the joke is on? And the few that matter.
I cant wait to movw to new york
Beautiful song ruined by that ridiculous meowing
youre no mormon.youre from new york
He's jewish...
“I AM THAT I AM” loves you x
Christ said "I am that I am". They picked up stones to stone him because he was saying that he was the God of the Old Testament. Pretty heavy stuff for VW. I think there's a ref to Pilate - Christ wouldn't tell him his name.
beautiful song
Always will love
hanes her way models
flytape earrings
Whyyy the chipmunk noises?! This song would be perfect without that but that ruins it for me
OMG! I've heard this song before but skipped it but today I heard the whole song and it freaking awesome!
hot air pastry bag.cold temperatures.dehydrated skin on your feet...leaks vs suction...
Beautiful
Israel is a terrorist state that does genetic testing for citizenship status for jews from the soviet union. Google lavon affair.
clueless
I finally get it: Through the fire and through the flames have a bottle of champagne with you at all times.
Hermosa canción
WADIOOOOORRRRWAY

Here after five years and I still not loving this video ))
que buena rola 😍😍
Thx conditioning
ÓTIMO"
I can't help but I feel, that I make some mistake. But I let it go.
my favorite outkast song
Sparkling wine is too sweet for my taste. But I aspire to love it.
Damn again. Finally realized the point of this vid. Nice.
Damn. The good old VW days. Amaze.
oh my god i was doing my history homework while listening to this and i was reading about the babylonian empire and then the song was all like babylon don't love you and i was s h o o k coincidence?? this is the first time i ever listened to this song and b r u h its actually not half bad
💯💯💯💯....
The part with ‘Fatherland don’t love you’ is very telling, the music skips a beat, almost stopping as a bottle of champagne drops like a bomb. Hugely poignant, and a lesson for us all..
a modern day Psalm. I like it very much.
This song makes me feel like when I read "His Dark Materials"
