Don't Let Go
Bryan Adams w/Sarah McLachlan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't believe this moment's come
It's so incredible that we're alone
There's so much to be said and done
It's impossible not to be overcome
Will you forgive me if I feel this way
'cause we've just met - tell me that's OK
So take this feeling'n make it grow
Never let it - never let it go
(Dont let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
(Dont' let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(Dont' let go)
No, I won't let go

Now would you mind if I bared my soul
If I came right out and said your'e beautiful
'cause there's something here I can't explain
I feel I'm diving into driving rain
You get my senses running wild
I can't resist your sweet, sweet smile
So take this feeling'n make it grow
Never let it - never let it go

I've been waiting all my life
To make this moment feel so right




The feel of you just fills the night
So see'mon - just hold on tight

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Let Go" by Bryan Adams and Sarah McLachlan is about not wanting to let go of a special moment that two people have shared. The opening lines of the song express disbelief that the moment has come and excitement that they are alone together. The singer acknowledges that there is much to be said and done, yet feels overwhelmed by the emotions they feel. The lyrics ask for forgiveness for feeling this way so quickly, but the singer asks the other person to take this feeling and make it grow, never letting it slip away.


One of the key themes of the song is the need to hold onto something meaningful that you believe in. The chorus emphasizes this point by urging the listener not to let go of the things you believe in, not to let go of the moment in time, and not to let go of the things that you're feeling. The singer admits that they can't explain the things that they're feeling, but promises that they won't let go.


The final verse of the song is a declaration of the singer's love for the other person. They ask if they can "bare my soul" and tell the other person that they are beautiful. Despite the uncertainty and confusion that the singer feels, they are willing to take a leap of faith and hold onto this special moment with both hands.

NĂŁo Deixe Ir (Com Bryan Adams)
NĂŁo acredito que esse momento chegou
Ă© tĂŁo incrivel que estejamos sozinhos
HĂĄ tanto para ser dito e feito
É impossivel não ser dominado

VocĂȘ me perdoa por me sentir assim
POis acabamos de nos conhecer - me diga que tudo bem
Então pegue esse sentimento, faça-o crescer
Nunca deixe - Nunca deixe-o ir

NĂŁo deixe de ir a coisas que vocĂȘ acredita em)
VocĂȘ me dĂĄ algo que eu possa acreditar em
(NĂŁo, NĂŁo deixar de ir neste momento)
Ir neste momento
(NĂŁo deixe de ir as coisas que vocĂȘ estĂĄ sentindo)
Eu nĂŁo posso explicar as coisas que eu estou sentindo
(NĂŁo, nĂŁo deixe ir)
NĂŁo, eu nĂŁo vou desistir

Agora vocĂȘ se importaria se eu despisse minha alma
Se eu avançasse dizendo que vocĂȘ Ă© linda
Pois hĂĄ algo aqui que nĂŁo consigo explicar
Sinto-me mergulhando na tempestade

VocĂȘ obtĂ©m os meus sentidos correndo wilde
Eu nĂŁo posso resistir a seu sorriso doce, doce
Portanto, tome este "sentimento n fazĂȘ-lo crescer
Nunca deixe-o - nunca deixĂĄ-lo ir

(nĂŁo abandone as coisas em que vocĂȘ acredita)
VocĂȘ me da algo em que acreditar
(NĂŁo abandone esse momento com o tempo)
(NĂŁo abandone as coisas que vocĂȘ estĂĄ sentindo)
Eu nĂŁo consigo explicar as coisas que estou sentindo
(NĂŁo abandone)
NĂŁo, eu nĂŁo abandonarei
NĂŁo, eu nĂŁo vou desistir

Eu tenho esperado toda a minha vida
Para fazer com que este momento me sinto tĂŁo bem
A sensação de que vocĂȘ apenas preenche a noite
EntĂŁo vamos lĂĄ - Apenas segure firme

(NĂŁo deixe de ir a coisas que vocĂȘ acredita em)
VocĂȘ me dĂĄ algo que eu possa acreditar em
(NĂŁo, NĂŁo deixar de ir neste momento)
Ir neste momento
(NĂŁo deixe de ir as coisas que vocĂȘ estĂĄ sentindo)
Eu nĂŁo posso explicar as coisas que eu estou sentindo
(NĂŁo, nĂŁo deixe ir)
NĂŁo, eu nĂŁo vou desistir

NĂŁo deixe ir

NĂŁo, nĂŁo ... deixar
NĂŁo, eu nĂŁo vou .... deixar

This excellent song is from the soundtrack to the 2002 movie Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron. It's too bad a video wasn't made for it, I would have loved to see Bryan and Sarah singing and playing their instruments together. I don't know if they were even in the same studio when they recorded this, they can do songs so singers don't have to be. This is still one of my favorite man/woman songs ever!

@Michael1357100

Why on earth isn’t this song on spotify?

@eugenia6356
