Next Plane Out
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Prayin' for a gentle wind
To bring my baby back again
Tryin' to be strong but I'm not getting any stronger
Loneliness is tearing apart this heart of mine
I lie awake 'cause I can't take another night lonely
It's been too long I can't hold on no more
'Cause I gotta see my baby
It's been too long since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
Talking on the phone but that don't make it any better
Nothing's gonna ease this pain
Until I'm in his arms again
Runnin' down the stairs there's a taxi that's waiting for me
Loneliness I'm gonna leave you far behind
I'd walk for days through pouring rain
Anything to be with him
It's been too long, I can't be strong no more
Leavin' on the next plane out
'Cause I gotta see my baby
It's been too long since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
I gotta be with my baby
Gotta be with him
Gotta be by his side, yeah
Gonna be with him
My heart's made up my mind
I'm leavin' on the next plane out
'Cause I gotta see my baby
It's been too long since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me, yeah
Here beside me again, again, again, again, again
It's been too long since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
I gotta be with my baby, gonna be with my baby
Gonna take the next plane or the next train
Gotta get there gotta see my baby
And nothing's gonna stop me from leavin' this time
Leavin' on the next plane out
Leavin' on the next plane out

She reveals how loneliness is tearing apart her heart, and she desperately needs to be in her lover's arms again. The pain of being apart from him is too much for her, and she can no longer be strong.

TRADUCCION AL ESPAÑOL💋
Escucho el sonido de la lluvia cayendo por mi ventana
Rezando por un viento suave
Para llevar a mi bebé de vuelta de nuevo
Tratando de ser fuerte, pero ahora no recibo ninguna más fuerte
soledad se desgarra este corazón mío
me quedé despierto ' coz i no puede tomar otra noche solitaria
que ha pasado mucho tiempo que no puedo aguantar no más
Partiendo en el próximo avión
'coz que ver a mi bebé
ha sido demasiado tiempo desde que lo tuve en mis brazos
Y si hubiera ganado 't dormir por la noche
hasta que esté durmiendo a mi lado
a mi lado otra vez
tengo que estar con mi bebé
que habla en el teléfono, pero que no por ello es mejor
Nada va a aliviar este dolor
hasta que esté en sus brazos otra vez
Corriendo por la escaleras hay un taxi que me está esperando
la soledad lo voy a dejar muy atrás
me caminar durante días a través de la lluvia que cae
cualquier cosa por estar con él
que ha pasado tanto tiempo, no puedo ser fuerte no más
Partiendo en el próximo avión fuera
'coz tengo que ver a mi bebé
ha sido demasiado tiempo desde que lo tuve en mis brazos
y yo no voy a dormir por la noche
hasta que esté durmiendo aquí b Me Eside
Aquí a mi lado otra vez
Tengo que estar con él
Tengo que estar a su lado
Tengo que estar con él
de mi corazón hecho a la idea
Partiendo en el próximo avión
'coz que ver a mi bebé
que ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que lo tuve en mis brazos
y yo no voy a dormir por la noche
hasta que esté durmiendo a mi lado
a mi lado otra vez
'coz que ver a mi bebé
que ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que lo tuve en mis brazos
y yo no voy a dormir por la noche
hasta que esté durmiendo aquí a mi lado

Y nada me va a detener de Leavin' esta vez
Partiendo en el próximo avión ,,,

Her 90s ballads are one of a kind. So nostalgic, romantic and powerful.
Such songs aren't produced anymore.
Captain Curd
I agree.
