The Journey
Big Country Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here with me
There's no disgrace, no guilt or shame
In having faith
To feel the same
To live again
It's all right to dream
There is a land, there is a sea
There is a place where we can be
There is a hope, there is a dream
Sometimes
You gotta make the journey with me
There will be hurt, there will be pain
There will be a lot of tears, a lot of joy
What we have left cannot be destroyed
Time to move on, to let it bleed
What will be, will be
There is a land, there is a sea
There is a place where we can be
There is a hope, there is a dream
Sometimes
You gotta make the journey with me
(Uh-oh-oh-oh)
Arms to hold you
Right by your side
Always with you now
Tonight
There is a land, there is a sea
There is a place where we can be
There is a hope, there is a dream
Sometimes
You gotta make the journey with me
Sometimes
(You gotta make the journey)
(Sometimes) Sometimes
(You gotta make the journey)
(Sometimes) Sometimes
(You gotta make the journey)
(Sometimes) Sometimes, Sometimes
(You gotta make the journey)
(Sometimes) Some-some-sometimes
You gotta make the journey
(You gotta make the journey)

An absolutely classic song by Squeeze.

on In A Big Country
I never saw you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you
君をわけもなくこんな風に見つめた事なんてなかった
また約束が反故にされたまま、新しい季節が君のそばを過ぎていく
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child
誰かの顔から微笑を奪ったことなんてなかった
それはまだ子供のような純真さを求めて無我夢中だっただけさ
CHORUS:
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
この広大な大地では、夢は君とともにあるんだ
山の斜面を燃やし続ける恋人の声のように
どうかここで生き続けてほしい
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
こんな砂漠の地では花が育つなんて期待してないよ
でもオレは生きて、息をして、冬のこんな季節にも太陽を浴びている
And in a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive
この広大な大地では、夢は君とともにあるんだ
山の斜面を燃やし続ける恋人の声のように
どうかここで生き続けてほしい
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
痛みと真実こそが今の君には本当に必要なこと
でも君がいくつもの小さな希望を持ち続けられなければ、ここで生きてはいけないよ
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
こんな砂漠の地では花が育つなんて期待してないよ
でもオレは生きて、息をして、冬のこんな季節にも太陽を浴びている
And in a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive
And in a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive
この広大な大地では、夢は君とともにあるんだ
山の斜面を燃やし続ける恋人の声のように
どうかここで生き続けてほしい
この広大な大地では、夢は君とともにあるんだ
山の斜面を燃やし続ける恋人の声のように
どうかここで生き続けてほしい
So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
君には都会暮らしは似合わないって、ここから見ていてわかるんだ
だって、ここでおきたことが君を見捨ててきたって意味にはならないから
フロアの中から飛び出してさ、大きな声で叫びにおいで
君が望んでたであろうすべてをそこにぶちまけるんだ
痛みと真実こそが今の君には本当に必要なこと
でも君がいくつもの小さな希望を持ち続けられなければ、ここで生きてはいけないよ
