Leave
Dan & Dan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walk down to the water
Stare out across the blue
Look to where our love was stolen
I take my leave of you

What I'd give to be unbroken
Find again the love we knew
But now with our past around you
I take my leave of you

Shall we meet in the sunrise
Stand one last time as two




I'll look deep into your eyes
Can I take my leave of you?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dan & Dan's song "Leave" capture the melancholic feeling of autumn with its falling leaves and the memories it brings of summer love. The singer is reminiscing about a lost love, remembering their summer kisses and the warmth of their hands, but now they are gone, leaving the singer feeling empty and longing for their return. As winter approaches, the singer knows that they will be hearing "old winter's song" soon, a symbol of the cold loneliness that they will face without their loved one.


The second verse switches to French, adding a layer of sophistication and melancholy to the song. The French lyrics translate to "this is a song that resembles us/ you loved me and I loved you/ we lived together, both of us/ you who loved me, me who loved you/ but life separates those who love each other/ very gently without making a sound/ and the sea erases on the sand the steps of separated lovers." These lyrics emphasize the inevitability of separation and the tragic nature of lost love.


Overall, the lyrics to "Leave" capture the bittersweet feeling of autumn, as the changing leaves remind us of what we've lost, but also offer hope for new beginnings.


Line by Line Meaning

The falling leaves drift by the window
The leaves are gracefully cascading past the window


The autumn leaves of red and gold
The leaves are in the colors of autumn, known for their vibrant shades of red and gold


I see your lips, the summer kisses
Thinking back on warm summer days, I can remember the sweet kisses we shared


The sun-burned hands I used to hold
I can still feel the rough texture of your sunburned hands, the same ones I held lovingly before


Since you went away the days grow long
Time drags on since you left, and the days seem longer and emptier without you here


And soon I'll hear old winter's song
As the year moves on, I'll soon hear the sounds of winter - the howling wind, crunching snow, and quiet nights


But I miss you most of all my darling
Out of all the things I miss, I miss you the most, my beloved


When autumn leaves start to fall
The reminder of autumn through the leaves falling from the trees is especially difficult because it reminds me of you


C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
This is a song that reflects who we are


Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
You loved me and I loved you


Nous vivions tous deux ensemble
We were living together, the two of us


Toi qui m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
You loved me and I loved you


Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment
But life sometimes breaks apart those who love each other


Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
It happens slowly and quietly, without much warning or fanfare


Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants desunis
And the sea washes away the footsteps of separated lovers from the sand

영국남자팀 정말 멋지다~
형으로써 친구로써 이끌어주고, 밀어주고~

영국남자팀이 좋은게... 항상 겸손하고
초심을 잃지 않을려고 노력하는거 같아~

그래요.. 영국남자는 진짜 한국을 사랑하고
주변사람도 한국을 사랑하게끔 만든
장본인이죠~

놀랍습니다! 영국인들이 한국어를 저보다 더 잘 구사를 하니, 그냥 똑같은 한국인 같습니다. 2000년에 영국으로 영어배우러 가서 많이 힘들었던 기억이 납니다.
지금 영국인들도 한국인과 같은 사람이군요!
감사합니다.

This is a rule of thumb, the more genuinely funny a person is, the deeper they are.
