Who Do You Love
Chris Rea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now that you know
What makes it work
How far it can go
Your innocent dream
Didn't know how to play
The game that was needed
And now I hear it say
Who do you love
Who do you really love
What are you thinking of
At the end of the day
What do you want
What do you really want
There's no question you are
And somehow save the day
And all those who don't really know
See a bright sunny day
But the glory that shone
Like sweet summer rain
It rolls off you and dissipates
Just as fast as it came
The lyrics to Chris Rea's song "Who Do You Love" explore the concepts of love, desire and choices. The opening lines suggest that the person being addressed has recently gained a new level of understanding about what love is and how it works. The second line specifically highlights this newfound knowledge, implying that the person has learned something that has changed their perspective.
The next lines suggest that the person in question was once naive and idealistic about love, but has since realized that it takes a lot of effort to make a relationship work. The mention of a "game that was needed" hints at the fact that relationships can be competitive or challenging, and that there are certain skills required to thrive in them. The overall tone of these lines is cautionary, warning the listener not to take love for granted.
The chorus, "Who do you love, who do you really love, what are you thinking of at the end of the day, what do you want, what do you really want" showcases the singer pressing the listener to assess their own feelings, desires and priorities. The repetition of "what do you really want" drives home the idea that being honest about one's own needs is an essential part of building a healthy relationship.

Who do you love
Who do you really love
What are you thinking of
at the end of the day
What do you want
What do you really want
There`s no question you want
And somehow save the day
Кого ты любишь,
Кого ты истинно любишь?
О чем ты думаешь
На закате дня?
Что ты хочешь
По-настоящему хочешь?
Ясно, что ты хочешь
И как-то бережешь время;

QUIEN ES TU AMOR
¿Cómo te sientes ahora?
Que sabes lo que hace que funcione.
¿Que tan lejos puede llegar
tu inocente sueño?
No sabías cómo jugar
el juego que se necesitaba
y ahora escucho decir…
¿A quien amas?
¿Quién es tu verdadero amor?
¿En quien estás pensando al final del día?
¿Qué es lo que deseas?
¿Qué es lo que realmente deseas?
Esta no es la pregunta que quieres,
y de alguna manera salvas el día.
Y todos aquellos que no te conocen realmente
ven un brillante y soleado día,
pero la gloria que brillaba…
como una dulce lluvia de verano,
sale de tí y después desaparece
tan rápido como llegó.
¿A quien amas?
¿Quién es tu verdadero amor?
¿Que estás pensando al final del día?
¿Que es lo que deseas?
¿Que es lo que realmente deseas?
¿A quien amas?
¿A quien amas?
¿Quien es tu verdadero amor?
¿Qué estás pensando al final del día?
Quien es tu amor
¿A quien realmente amas?
¿En qué estás pensando
Al final del día.
Quien es tu amor
¿A quien realmente… realmente amas?
¿En qué estás pensando
Al final del día.
¿Quien es tu amor?
¿Quien es tu amor?
¿Quien es tu amor?

Comment se sent-il?
Maintenant que vous savez
Qu'est-ce qui le fait fonctionner?
Jusqu'où peut-il aller?
Ton rêve innocent
Je ne savais pas comment jouer
Le jeu qui était nécessaire
Et maintenant, je l'entends dire
Qui aimes-tu?
Qui aimez-vous vraiment?
Que pensez-vous de
À la fin de la journée
Qu'est-ce que tu veux?
Que voulez-vous vraiment?
Il ne fait aucun doute que vous voulez
Et sauve le jour en quelque sorte
Et tous ceux qui ne connaissent pas vraiment
Voir une journée ensoleillée
Mais la gloire qui brillait
Comme une douce pluie d'été
Il vous déplace et vous dissipe
Juste aussi vite qu'il est venu
Qui aimes-tu?
Qui aimez-vous vraiment?
Que pensez-vous de?
À la fin de la journée?
Qu'est-ce que tu veux?
Que voulez-vous vraiment?
Qui aimes-tu?
Qui aimes-tu
Qui aimez-vous vraiment?
Que pensez-vous de
À la fin de la journée
Qui aimes-tu?
Qui êtes-vous vraiment amoureux?
Que pensez-vous de?
À la fin de la journée
Qui aimes-tu?
Qui êtes-vous vraiment amoureux?
Que pensez-vous de?
À la fin de la journée
Qui aimes-tu?
Qui aimes-tu?
