Rest Your Love
Andy Gibb & Olivia Newton John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe you don't know me anymore then I know you
And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
I been watchin' you all evenin' with the teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me much more than I can say
You know I'd hate to think that someone
could have hurt someone like you
And at times like this , I'd be right by your side
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

Saw you in the corner on the moment I walked in
Saw your lonely face across the room
No, I won't forget it
And the way it might have been
Why did you have to leave so soon
You know I'd hate to think that someone
could have loved you more than me
And if I was them, I'd be right by your side

Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

How long must I wait for the last train to leave here
And the last chance to know
Get to think that I was born too soon
How long honey, when the lovin' don't come
I was there when you left me
Just didn't know how to begin

Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket




Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your .. (fade out)

Overall Meaning

The song's opening lines express self-awareness about not knowing the woman as well as she knows him, perhaps indicating a past relationship. Despite this, he presents himself as a support system and someone she can rely on, saying, "Lay your troubles on my shoulders, put your worries in my pocket." The lyrics also touch on the vulnerability and sadness of the woman, with the man taking notice of the "teardrops in [her] eyes." He assures her that he will be there by her side and that he would hate to think that someone else could have hurt or loved her more than him.


As the song progresses, we learn that the two may have had a romantic history. The man recounts seeing the woman at a gathering with a "lonely face" and feeling regret for the way things ended. He questions why she had to leave so soon and openly acknowledges that he didn't know how to begin fixing their past issues. The chorus repeats the message of support and comfort, encouraging the woman to rest her love on him a while longer.


Overall, Rest Your Love On Me is a touching and empathetic song that portrays a man's understanding and willingness to help a woman in need. The lyrics convey the importance of emotional support and the fragility of human relationships.

Може би не ме познаваш
Повече отколкото те познавам
И не бих ви винил, ако
Ти си тръгна
Гледах те върху себе си
С капките сълзи в очите ти
И ме трогва много повече
отколкото мога да кажа
Знаеш ли, не бих искал да мисля, че някой
Можеше да нарани някой като теб
И ако бях той
Бих бил точно до теб
Положи проблемите си на раменете ми
Сложи притесненията си в моя джоб
Почини любовта си върху мен за малко
Положи проблемите си на рамото ми
Сложи притесненията си в моя джоб
Почини любовта си върху мен за малко
Видях те в ъгъла
В момента, в който влязох
Видях самотното ти лице
От другата страна на стаята
Не, няма да го забравя
И начинът, по който можеше да бъде
Защо трябваше да си тръгнеш
Толкова скоро
Знаеш ли, не бих искал да мисля, че някой
Можеше да те обича повече от мен
И то в моменти като този
Бих бил точно до теб
Положи проблемите си на раменете ми
Сложи притесненията си в моя джоб
Почини любовта си върху мен за малко
Положи проблемите си на раменете ми
Сложи притесненията си в моя джоб
Почини любовта си върху мен за малко
Колко време трябва да чакам
За да е последният влак тук?
И последният шанс да знам
Помислете си, че съм роден твърде рано
Докога, скъпа
Когато любовта не идва?
Бях там, когато ме напусна
Просто не знаех как да започна
Положи проблемите си на раменете ми
Сложи притесненията си в моя джоб
Почини любовта си върху мен за малко
Положи проблемите си на раменете ми
Сложи притесненията си в моя джоб
Почини любовта си върху мен за малко

Descansa tu amor en mí
Tal vez ya no me conoces, entonces te conozco
Y no te culparía si te fueras
Te he estado mirando a todos con las lágrimas en los ojos
Y me toca mucho más de lo que puedo decir
Sabes que odiaría pensar que alguien
podría haber lastimado a alguien como tú
Y si yo fuera él, estaría a tu lado
br > Pon tus problemas en mis hombros
Pon tus preocupaciones en mi bolsillo
Descansa tu amor en mí un rato
Pon tus problemas en mis hombros
Pon tus preocupaciones en mi bolsillo
Deja tu amor en mi un rato conmigo

Te vi en la esquina en el momento en que entré
Vi tu cara solitaria al otro lado de la habitación
No, no lo olvidaré
Y como pudo haber sido
¿Por qué tuviste que irte tan pronto? Sabes que odiaría pensar que alguien
podría haberte amado más que a mí. Y en momentos como este, estaría a tu lado

Deja tus problemas en mi hombro
pon tus preocupaciones en mi bolsillo
Deja tu amor sobre mí un rato
Deja tus problemas en mi deber er
pon tus preocupaciones en mi bolsillo
Descansa tu amor sobre mí un rato

¿Cuánto tiempo debo esperar para que llegue el último tren?
Y la última oportunidad de saber
Piensa que nací demasiado pronto
Cuánto tiempo cariño, cuando el amor no viene
Estaba allí cuando me dejaste
Simplemente no sabía cómo empezar
br > Pon tus problemas en mi hombro
pon tus preocupaciones en mi bolsillo
Descansa tu amor sobre mí un rato
Pon tus problemas en mi hombro
pon tus preocupaciones en mi bolsillo
Descansa tu amor en mí un rato
