Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a lonely night
And I've hurt you baby
Because you are my light
Make me strong
Just like you make me weak
When your hands reach out for meEven in your sleep
I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours
Memories they keep coming through
The good ones hurt more
Than the bad ones do
The days were high
And the nights were deep
And I miss you, baby
I miss you, baby
I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours
I'll soon be gone now
It won't be long now
Forever not
Forever not yours (I'll soon be gone now)
Forever not yours
It won't be long now (it won't be long now)
Forever not yours (forever not yours)
I'll soon be gone now (soon be gone now)
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours (forever not yours)
(I'll soon be gone now, soon be gone now)
(Forever not yours) forever not yours
(It won't be long now)

Hold me tight
Embrace me closely and provide comfort
This is a lonely night
Feeling isolated and alone in this moment
And I've hurt you baby
I have caused you pain, my dear
Because you are my light
You are my source of brightness and hope
Make me strong
Give me strength and courage
Just like you make me weak
Similar to how you make me vulnerable
When your hands reach out for me
When you offer support and connection
Even in your sleep
Even in your unconscious state
I'll soon be gone now
I will be leaving shortly
Forever not yours
Permanently out of reach
It won't be long now
The separation will happen soon
Memories they keep coming through
Recollections continue to resurface
The good ones hurt more
Positive memories cause more pain
Than the bad ones do
Compared to negative memories
The days were high
The good times were joyous
And the nights were deep
The darkness of night felt profound
And I miss you, baby
I long for your presence
Forever not yours
Permanently out of reach
I'll soon be gone now
I will be leaving shortly
It won't be long now
The separation will happen soon
I'll soon be gone now
I will be leaving shortly
It won't be long now
The separation will happen soon

Обними меня покрепче
Этой одинокой ночью.
Я причинил тебе боль, милая,
Потому что ты — мой свет...
Сделай меня сильным так же,
Как ты делаешь меня слабым,
Когда протягиваешь ко мне руки,
Даже во сне...
(Скоро я уйду...)
Навсегда не твой...
(Это продлится недолго...)
Навсегда не твой...
Воспоминания —
Они по-прежнему живы.
Хорошие воспоминания ранят
Еще сильнее, чем плохие...
Дни были превосходны,
А ночи насыщенны...
И я скучаю по тебе, милая,
Я скучаю по тебе, милая...
Скоро я уйду...
Навсегда не твой...
Это продлится недолго...
Навсегда не твой...

LYRICS :
Hold me tight
This is a lonely night
And I’ve hurt you baby
'Cause you're my light
Make me strong
Just like you make me weak
Your hands reach out for me
Even in your sleep
I’ll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won’t be long now
Forever not yours
Memories
They keep coming through
The good ones hurt more
Than the bad ones do
The days were high
And the nights were deep
And I miss you baby
I miss you baby
I’ll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won’t be long now
Forever not yours
I’ll soon be gone now
It won’t be long now
Forever not
Forever not yours
(I’ll soon be gone now)
Forever not yours
It won’t be long now
Forever not yours

I’ll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won’t be long now
Forever not yours

(I’ll soon be gone now)
Forever not yours

Ты прав друг
@alboraty
Сейчас случайно наткнулась на нее. Таких мурашей давно не было от музыки)))
@TheMouseLittle
Это первая песня "A-ha", которую я видела и слышала. Впечатляющая и песня и клип. Позже узнала об уникальности голоса Мортена. Какие всё таки эти норвежцы талантливые ребята ❤❤❤
@RomanDudnik-z8p
Roxette, не аха
@vyacheslavuzbekov2759
Дождливая весна 2002-го... Вам повезло - не только эта песня, но и весь альбом Lifelines классный от начала и до конца, что нечасто бывает. По-хорошему завидую вам👍 Что же до Мортена - у него есть несколько сольных альбомов, рекомендую Out of My Hands 2012 года
