Silence Is Broken
Damn Yankees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say the words and let
The sunshine in again
You can close your eyes
And know it's safe inside
To sing you lullaby
(Now I lay me down)
You brok the chains
Oh no! Now you're gonna shout about it
No! No more! Yeah yeah this is the end
The silence is broken now
It's over now
The words have been spoken
And with every word you say
You blow away
The tears of another time
Face to face
Anyone can see you're not
The child you were before
(Now I lay you down)
You take your place
No one can take away your heart
Oh no! There can be no doubt about it
No! No more! Yeah yeah this is the end
The silence is broken now
It's over now
The words have been spoken
And with every word you say
You blow away
The tears of another time
The silence is broken now
It's over now
The words have been spoken
And with every word you say
You blow away
The scene of another crime

O SILÊNCIO ESTÁ QUEBRADO
Nunca novamente
Você disse as palavras e deixou
O sol brilhar novamente
Você pode fechar seus olhos
E saber que está salva internamente
Para cantar uma canção de ninar
(Agora eu me deito no chão)
Você quebra as correntes
E você não irá ficar calada mais
Oh não!
Agora você vai gritar sobre isso
Não! Não mais!
Sim, sim, este é o fim
O silêncio está quebrado agora
Está acabado agora
As palavras foram ditas
E com todas as palavras que você disse
Você sopra ao longe
As lágrimas de outro tempo
Face a face
Qualquer um pode ver,
Você não é a criança que você era antes
(Agora eu deito você no chão)
Você toma seu lugar
Ninguém pode tirar de você seu coração
Oh não!
Não pode haver dúvidas sobre isso
Não! Não mais!
Sim, sim, este é o fim
O silêncio está quebrado agora
Está acabado agora
As palavras foram ditas
E com todas as palavras que você disse
Você sopra ao longe
As lágrimas de outro tempo
O silêncio está quebrado agora
Está acabado agora
As palavras foram ditas
E com todas as palavras que você disse
Você sopra ao longe
A cena de outro...
Crime!

Never again you say the words
And let the sunshine in again
You can close your eyes
And know it's safe inside to sing you lullaby
Now I lay me down, you broke the chains
And you won't be silent anymore
Oh, no, now you're gonna shout about it
No, no more, yeah, yeah, this is the end
The silence is broken now
It's over now, the words have been spoken
And with every word you say, you blow away
The tears of another time
Face to face anyone can see you're not
The child you were before
Now, I lay you down, you take your place
No one can take away your heart
Oh, no, there can be no doubt about it
No, no more, yeah, yeah, this is the end
The silence is broken now
It's over now, the truth has been spoken
And with every word you say
You blow away, yeah
Never again you say the words
And let the sunshine in again
You can change the world
But no one can take away your heart
The silence is broken now

And with every word you say, you blow away
The tears of another time
The silence is broken now
It's over now, the truth has been spoken
And with every word you say, you blow away

I wish these guys would reunite again. They all still sound so good, it would be a killer concert with all the old DY songs. Loved this band.
Jeff Pinkston

25 years later, still amazing. Blades and Shaw on vocals and Uncle Teddy bending strings. Nothing today is even close. Wish these guys would get back together, bet they still got it.....
