Select language to translate this lyric

Sometimes the rain upon the sea
Can make the gray look green to me
And when I'm into all that gray
I'll make the morning last all day
And when I've been down to New South Wales
And both my brothers've been in jail
Ah, but my sister, she got free
Now she's across that great gray sea
Now I've been hard, too hard to find
But there's no paranoia in my mind
There've been no comrades dropping dimes
It's just I'm working overtime
And I know that in the end
I'll come clean to all my friends
'Cause we all know we all have sinned
And we all know we're going to again
And when I was late in checking in
And I couldn't say where I'd been
Well, I bet you knew
'Cause you sometimes do
And here we go 'round again
See, Molly always knows just what to bring
When Reb's in town, she always rings
You wanna know what Tommy has to say?
Is Terre feeling better these days?
You can ask, take a look
We're all pretty open books
What I stand for, I mostly stand behind
And what I am, I mostly can't hide
And when we were late in getting in
We couldn't say where we'd been
But maybe you knew
Like you sometimes do
I've got no need to pretend
But C.I.A.
Only you know what you've done
My father works from 6 to 8
And he ain't given up his faith
And so I haven't given up myself
Though I sure could use a little help
Now it don't take the writing of a song
To tell you what I was doing in '01
Buy what I fear that I might never see
Is where you were back in '73
And why Mal, he ain't around
Or if Everardo was ever found
Or why Frankie says
That history's race is run
When we all know it's just erased
By those who've won
And when I was late in weighing in
And I couldn't say where I'd been
Well, you thought you knew
Like you sometimes do
But you got it wrong again
But C.I.A.
Only you know what you've done
C.I.A.
Only you know what you've done
