Fin. (THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.)
I had hoped you'd find your way to this piece of music
And that would mean, oh my friend, we have made it to the end
I hope inside this you've found something beautiful
She had hoped you'd make it to the seventeenth song
And if to dance or then to cry or to just sing along
We hope inside this you've found something beautiful
My complete gratitude for taking time out of your day
To hear the melodies and words we have to play and to say
And I wanted to finish this album like this
With a musical hug and an orchestral kiss
H-A-P-P-I-E-R T-I-M-E-S (happier times)
I wish you the best
Only joy in this life that we tread
And now I'd like to leave you with an unapologetically
Dramatic and powerful, this last metaphorical summary
For it's life's guarantee that we're all going to die
Come rain or come storms, we've got one little life
The Sun has promised to shine
All four beautiful seasons, even if we can't see it
Hope must always exist, is just above the clouds
To conclude there, and so it goes
And as it says on the tin, in the winds, This May Contain Hope
If you didn't find it, then might I advise it
I'm asking polite that if hope didn't find you, my friend
We advise you to listen again
Thank you for listening
Until next time, lots of love, RAYE

Fim. (ESSAS MÚSICAS PODEM CONTER ESPERANÇA.)
Eu esperava que você encontrasse o seu caminho até esta música
E isso significaria, ah meu amigo, que chegamos ao fim
Espero que aqui dentro você tenha encontrado algo belo
Ela esperava que você chegasse à décima sétima canção
E se para dançar ou então chorar ou apenas cantar junto
Esperamos que aqui dentro você tenha encontrado algo belo
Minha total gratidão por tirar um tempo do seu dia
Para ouvir as melodias e palavras que temos para tocar e dizer
E eu queria terminar este álbum assim
Com um abraço musical e um beijo orquestral
T-E-M-P-O-S M-E-L-H-O-R-E-S (tempos melhores)
Eu te desejo o melhor
Apenas alegria nesta vida que trilhamos
E agora eu gostaria de lhes deixar, assumidamente
Dramático e poderoso, este último resumo metafórico
Pois é a garantia da vida que todos nós vamos morrer
Venha chuva ou venham tempestades, temos uma pequena vida
O Sol prometeu brilhar
Todas as quatro belas estações, mesmo que não possamos vê-lo
A esperança deve sempre existir, está logo acima das nuvens
Para concluir, e assim segue a vida
E como diz no rótulo, nos ventos, Isto Pode Conter Esperança
Se você não a encontrou, então posso aconselhar
Estou pedindo educadamente que, se a esperança não te encontrou, meu amigo
Aconselhamos que você ouça novamente
Obrigada por ouvir
Até a próxima, com muito amor, RAYE
