Promises
Adagio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse]
I've been waiting so long,
To see the moon rising by your side,
How many days, since you're gone

I've cried so many times,
But I've spent so many hours to hide,
The tears I had in my mind

[Bridge]
When will I see you again,
Give me a last chance to make
Love, with you forever and ever again,
I miss you,

[Chorus]
I can't feel pain anymore,
I'm just lost in a world of sorrow,
But I will wait the hour
To set your heart on fire

[Verse]
Mountains of ice i will cross
Fountains of gold I will find,
To give you some presents,
As precious as you

In endlessly I will shout,
Your name in the silence of night,
To exorcise my thoughts, as a prayer

[Bridge]
When will I see you again,
Give me a last chance to make
Love, with you forever and ever again,
I love you,

[Chorus]
I can't feel pain anymore,
I'm just lost in a world of sorrow,




But I will wait the hour
To set your heart on fire

Eu tenho esperado tanto
Para ver a Lua surgindo ao seu lado
Por vários dias, desde que você partiu
Eu chorei tantas vezes
Mas eu passei tantas horas para esconder
As lágrimas que eu tinha nos olhos
Quando verei você novamente
Me dê uma última chance para fazer amor
Com você pra sempre e sempre novamente
Eu sinto sua falta
Eu não consigo mais sentir dor
Eu estou perdido em um mundo de sombras
Mas eu esperarei a hora
De jogar o seu coração no fogo
Montanhas de gelo atravessarei
Mananciais de ouro eu acharei
Para te dar um presente
Tão precioso quanto você
E eternamente eu gritarei
Seu nome no silêncio da noite
Quando verei você novamente
Me dê uma última chance para fazer amor
Com você pra sempre e sempre novamente
Eu te amo
💔💔💔

I'm just lost in a world of sorrow,
But I will wait the hour
To set your heart on fire
