Forever
Angela & Jeff van Dyck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sippin' bubbles in the sunshine
I should be happy to be outside
But empty chairs have got you on my mind
They stop and stare but I just sit here and cry
How did you not know that I was falling for you both?
I never meant to be a pain and all I wanted was to say that
I want you and I want her
And we could have been together, forever, but never, whatever
Was I just something you could play with? (play with me baby)
A toy to give some entertainment
I thought we had a real connection (ay, ay, ay)
Did I not meet your expectations? (It's never enough)
How did you not know that I was falling for you both?
I never meant to be a pain and all I wanted was to say that
I (I, I, I) want you (don't you want me too?)
And I want him (don't you want me too?)
And we could have been together (together)
forever, but never
'Cause I want him (I want him)
And I want her (you know I want her)




And we could all have been (all of us together)
Together, forever, but never, whatever

What awaits us?
A cloud has fallen on our shore
The mighty hand and sword of Roman war
And I'll be brave, be strong, be true, my love
And I'll be waiting for you, forever...
My love you march to war defiant
May god returneth you triumphant
And you'll be brave, be strong, be true, my love
And I'll be waiting for you, forever...
"And remember this above all: Our Roman gods are watching. Make sure
They are not ashamed!"
How can I wait unknowing?
This is the price of war
We rise with noble intentions
And we risk all that is pure
We are only as great as our hearts will allow
What awaits us?
Forever...
What will become of us? What will be, will be
But I hope and I pray, every single day
You'll come to me, come home to me, come home to me...

Pour toujours
par Angela et Jeff van Dyck

Qu'est-ce qui nous attend ?

Un nuage est tombé sur notre rivage
La main puissante et l'épée de la guerre romaine
Et je serai courageux, fort, vrai, mon amour
Et je t'attendrai pour toujours

Mon amour, tu marches vers la guerre avec défi
Que Dieu te rende triomphant
Et tu seras courageux, sois fort, sois vrai, mon amour
Et je t'attendrai pour toujours

(Général romain : Et rappelez-vous ceci avant tout : nos dieux romains nous regardent, assurez-vous qu’ils n’ont pas honte !)

Comment puis-je attendre sans le savoir ?
C'est le prix de la guerre
Nous nous levons avec de nobles intentions
Et on risque tout ce qui est pur
Nous sommes aussi grands que notre cœur le permet
Qu'est-ce qui nous attend ?

Pour toujours

Ce qu'il adviendra de nous? Ce qui sera sera
Mais j'espère et je prie, chaque jour
Tu viendras vers moi, reviens vers moi, reviens vers moi
