[re:jazz] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I might win much more but lose all that is mine
I could be a lot but I know I'm not
I'm content just with the riches
That you bring riches, that you bring
I might shoot to win and commit the sin
Of wanting more than I've already got
I could runaway but I'd rather stay
Lighting up my day, the one that makes me say
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world, heh, hey, yeah
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away
I might be a king, steal my peoples things
But I don't go for that power crazy way
All that I could rule, I don't check for fools
All that I need is to be left to live my way
So listen what I say
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world, heh, hey, yeah
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away
Heh, hey, yeah
From the soul of me, baby
You're the best for me
Cover up my dreams
But take these chains from me
Hooo, hooo
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world, heh, hey, yeah
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away
Baby, baby
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
To me or my world, heh, hey, yeah
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away
I said don't go
No, no
Don't go away
Yeah

Letra
Gabrielle -Brett Eldredge
Eu fui pego em seus olhos castanhos
Olhando para o céu azul
Realmente me fez perceber
Eles não os fazem como você
Pele de canela ao sol
Tempo parado ao luar
Realmente me fez sentir como
Como se eu pudesse me apaixonar por você
Então um dia você foi embora
E eu estive pensando por tanto tempo
Oh, era seu coração ou o meu?
Foi na hora errada, Gabrielle?
Nós nunca chegamos muito longe
Mas, garota, onde quer que você esteja
Eu desejo você bem
Gabrielle
Você estava colhendo flores em uma estrada lateral
Apoiando-se em um poste
Não pude deixar de notar
Você estava querendo algo mais
Eu estava olhando ao longe
Pisquei duas vezes e eu perdi
Podemos apenas retroceder
Como era antes?
E eu acordei e você se foi
E eu estive pensando por tanto tempo
Oh, era seu coração ou o meu?
Foi na hora errada, Gabrielle?
Nós nunca chegamos muito longe
Mas, garota, onde quer que você esteja
Eu desejo você bem
Ah, Gabrielle
Oh
E as milhas, eles voam
Até você voltar para casa novamente
E você já se perguntou
O que poderíamos ter sido?
Eu ainda posso te ver parado lá
Sol brilhando atrás do seu vestido
Sua silhueta
Mmh, tão perfeito
Leve-me de volta para lá
Leve-me de volta para lá
Oh, era seu coração ou o meu?
Foi na hora errada, Gabrielle?
Nós nunca chegamos muito longe
Mas, garota, onde quer que você esteja
Eu desejo você bem
Ah, Gabrielle
Ah, Gabrielle
Oh, foi apenas a hora errada?
Ah, Gabrielle

I was caught up in your brown eyes
Lookin' up at the blue skies
Really made me realize
They don't make 'em quite like you
Cinnamon skin in the sunshine
Stopped time in the moonlight
Really made me feel like
Like I could fall for you
Then one day you were just gone
And I've been wonderin' for so long
Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
But, girl, wherever you are
I wish you well
Gabrielle
You were pickin' flowers on a side road
Leanin' back on a fence post
Couldn't help but notice
You were wantin' somethin' more
I was starin' off in the distance
Blinked twice and I missed it
Can we just rewind it
Like it was before?
And I woke up and you were gone
And I've been wonderin' for so long
Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
But, girl, wherever you are
I wish you well
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh
And the miles, they fly by
Until you land back home again
And do you ever wonder
What we might have been?
I can still see ya standin' there
Sun shinin' behind your dress
Your silhouette
Mmh, so perfect
Take me back there
Take me back there
Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
But, girl, wherever you are
I wish you well
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh, was it just the wrong time?
Oh, Gabrielle

I was caught up in your brown eyes
Lookin' up at the blue skies
Really made me realize
They don't make 'em quite like you
Cinnamon skin in the sunshine
Stopped time in the moonlight
Really made me feel like
Like I could fall for you
Then one day you were just gone
And I've been wonderin' for so long
Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Was it just the wrong time, Teisha Elkins?
We never got very far
But, girl, wherever you are
I wish you well

BRETT ELDREDGE (2020) – GABRIELLE (Traducción)
I was caught up in your brown eyes
Estaba atrapado en tus ojos castaños
Lookin' up at the blue skies
Alzando la vista hacia los cielos azules
Really made me realize
En realidad hicieron que me diera cuenta
They don't make 'em quite like you
De que no te ganan a ti
Cinnamon skin in the sunshine
Piel canela bajo la luz del sol
Stop time in the moonlight
El tiempo detenido bajo la luz de la luna
Really made me feel like
Realmente me hizo sentir como
Like I could fall for you
Como si pudiera enamorarme de ti
Then one day you were just gone
Luego un día sencillamente te fuiste
And I've been wonderin' for so long
Y he estado preguntándome tanto tiempo
Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Oh, ¿era tú corazón o el mío?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
¿Era simplemente el momento equivocado, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
Nunca llegamos demasiado lejos
But, girl, wherever you are
Pero, nena, donde quiera que estés
I wish you well
Te deseo lo mejor
Gabrielle
You were pickin' flowers on a side road
Estabas recogiendo flores en un camino
Leanin' back on a fence post
Apoyada sobre el poste de la cerca
Couldn't help but notice
No pude evitar darme cuenta
You were wantin' somethin' more
De que querías algo más
I was starin' off in the distance
Yo estaba con la mirada perdida
Blinked twice and I missed it
Parpadeé dos vece y me lo perdí
Can we just rewind it like it was before?
¿Podemos rebobinar hasta antes?
And I woke up and you were gone
Y me desperté y te habías ido
And I've been wonderin' for so long
Y he estado prenguntándome tanto tiempo
Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Oh, ¿era tú corazón o el mío?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
¿Era simplemente el momento equivocado, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
Nunca llegamos demasiado lejos
But, girl, wherever you are
Pero, nena, donde quiera que estés
I wish you well
Te deseo lo mejor
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh
And the miles, they fly by
Y las millas, pasan volando
Until you land back home again
Hasta que aterrizas de vuelta al hogar
And do you ever wonder
¿Y alguna vez te preguntas
What we might have been?
Qué podría haber sido?
I can still see ya standin' there
Puedo aún verte allí
Sun shinin' behind your dress
El sol brillando tras tu vestido
Your silhouette
Tu silueta
Mmh, so perfect
Mmh, tan perfecto
Take me back there
Llévame de vuelta allí
Take me back there
Llévame de vuelta allí
Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Oh, ¿era tú corazón o el mío?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
¿Era simplemente el momento equivocado, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
Nunca llegamos demasiado lejos
But, girl, wherever you are
Pero, nena, donde quiera que estés
I wish you well
Te deseo lo mejor
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh, was it just the wrong time?
Oh, ¿era simplemente el momento equivocado?
Gabrielle

Recently attended one of Brett's concerns. Knew a couple songs going in but that's about it. Hands down one of the best concerns I've ever been to and I've seen hundreds. He comes across so sincerely and it felt like every song was sung for the first time. Now a huge fan!

Did he bring his dog? At the concert I went to, he brought his dog on stage
