Hey Sally
Aranda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Sally, what's the matter with you
You went downtown, mess around thinking that you could never lose
But the weight of all your lies left you cold

Hey Sally what's your next move?
You took a couple wrong turns baby cause you never really had a clue
That the road you're going down, you walk alone
And you'll never know you can turn around
Till someone tells you so

You gotta stand up, when you fall down
Or do you stand for what you know is wrong
Oh Sally, Sally come home tonight
You've been looking round, but you never found
The love you needed for so long
Oh Sally, Sally come home tonight
Hey Sally, I know just how you feel
You know where you want to go baby but you never want to take the wheel
But you're wasting all your time looking back
And the only way to get there is for you to understand

You gotta stand up, when you fall down
Or do you stand for what you know is wrong
Oh Sally, Sally come home tonight
You've been looking round, but you never found
The love you needed for so long
Oh Sally, Sally come home

I'm not there to tell you pride comes before the fall
But if you don't go, you don't go back, you could lose it all
Hey Sally, you're nobody's fool
And no matter what they say you know I still got faith in you
I still have faith in you

You gotta stand up, when you fall down
Or do you stand for what you know is wrong
Oh Sally, Sally come home tonight
You've been looking round, but you never found
The love you needed for so long




Oh Sally, Sally come home
Oh, come home tonight

Line by Line Meaning

Hey Sally, what's the matter with you
Asking Sally about what is troubling her


You went downtown, mess around thinking that you could never lose
Sally was carefree during her night out, unaware of the consequences


But the weight of all your lies left you cold
Sally's lies have made her feel empty inside


Hey Sally what's your next move?
Enquiring about Sally's future actions


You took a couple wrong turns baby cause you never really had a clue
Sally has made mistakes due to her unawareness


That the road you're going down, you walk alone
Sally is on a solitary path at the moment


And you'll never know you can turn around
Sally is currently unaware of the options available to her


Till someone tells you so
Sally will need some guidance in order to move in a better direction


You gotta stand up, when you fall down
Encouraging Sally to keep going despite life's difficulties


Or do you stand for what you know is wrong
Asking Sally to question her own values


Oh Sally, Sally come home tonight
Urging Sally to return to a place of safety and love


You've been looking round, but you never found the love you needed for so long
Sally has been searching for love, but hasn't found it yet


Hey Sally, I know just how you feel
Empathizing with Sally's emotions


You know where you want to go baby but you never want to take the wheel
Sally knows her goals but is reluctant to take control and pursue them


But you're wasting all your time looking back
Sally is dwelling on the past instead of moving forward


And the only way to get there is for you to understand
The only way Sally can reach her goals is by gaining a deeper understanding


I'm not there to tell you pride comes before the fall
Not being present to remind Sally of the consequences of prideful behavior


But if you don't go, you don't go back, you could lose it all
Encouraging Sally to take risks, or face the possibility of missing out on everything


Hey Sally, you're nobody's fool
Reminding Sally of her intelligence and strength


And no matter what they say you know I still got faith in you
Showing support for Sally, despite criticism from others


Oh, come home tonight
Repeated urging for Sally to return home

ARANDA (2012) – SALLY (Traducción)
Hey Sally, whats the matter with you
Eh Sally, ¿qué pasa contigo?
You went downtown, mess around thinking that you could never lose
Te fuiste al centro de la ciudad, hiciste el tonto creyendo que nunca podrías perder
But the weight of all your lies left you cold
Pero el peso de todas tus mentiras te dejó indiferente
Hey Sally whats your next move?
Eh Sally, y ahora ¿qué?
You took a couple wrong turns baby cause you never really had a clue
Tomaste un par de malas decisiones, nena, porque en realidad nunca tuviste ni idea
That the road you're going down, you walk alone
Del camino que estabas tomando, caminas sola
And you'll never know you can turn around
Y nunca sabrás que puedes cambiar
Till someone tells you so
Hasta que alguien te lo diga
You gotta stand up, when you fall down
Tienes que ponerte en pie, cuando caigas
Or do you stand for what you know is wrong
O ¿vas a defender lo que sabes que está mal?
Oh Sally, Sally come home tonight
Oh Sally, Sally ven a casa esta noche
You've been looking round, but you never found
Has estado buscando, pero nunca encontraste
The love you needed for so long
El amor que necesitaste durante tanto tiempo
Oh Sally, Sally come home tonight
Oh Sally, Sally ven a casa esta noche
Hey Sally, I know just how you feel
Eh Sally, sé justo cómo te sientes
You know where you want to go baby but you never want to take the wheel
Sabes dónde quieres llegar nena, pero nunca quieres tomar las riendas
But you're wasting all your time looking back
Pero estás malgastando todo tu tiempo mirando atrás
And the only way to get there is for you to understand
Y la única manera de que lo logres es que lo entiendas
You gotta stand up, when you fall down
Tienes que ponerte en pie, cuando caigas
Or do you stand for what you know is wrong
O ¿vas a defender lo que sabes que está mal?
Oh Sally, Sally come home tonight
Oh Sally, Sally ven a casa esta noche
You've been looking round, but you never found
Has estado buscando, pero nunca encontraste
The love you needed for so long
El amor que necesitaste durante tanto tiempo
Oh Sally, Sally come home
Oh Sally, Sally ven a casa
I'm not there to tell you pride comes before the fall
No estoy aquí para decirte que el orgullo precede a la caída
But if you don't go, you don't go back, you could lose it all
Pero si no, no regresas, podrías perderlo todo
MMMMM MM MMMMM MMMM...
mmmmm mm mmmmm mmmm...
Hey Sally, you're nobody's fool
Eh Sally, no eres ninguna tonta
And no matter what they say you know I still got faith in you
Y no importa lo que te dijeran, sabes que aún tengo fe en ti
I still have faith in you
Aún tengo fe en ti
You gotta stand up, when you fall down
Tienes que ponerte en pie, cuando caigas
Or do you stand for what you know is wrong
O ¿vas a defender lo que sabes que está mal?
Oh Sally, Sally come home tonight
Oh Sally, Sally ven a casa esta noche
You've been looking round, but you never found
Has estado buscando, pero nunca encontraste
The love you needed for so long
El amor que necesitaste durante tanto tiempo
Oh Sally, Sally come home
Oh Sally, Sally ven a casa
OOOOOOO, come home tonight
OOOOOOO, ven a casa esta noche
