Blue Eyes Are Sensitive to The Light
Deborah Blando Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Arose and run so deep
I see the midnight when I sleep
You say I'm strong and you're too weak
To see the world in a naked light
Blue eyes are sensitive to the light
He doesn't want to talk
He wants to run away, run away to the night
Blue eyes to the light
Feels just like my heart will break
If we can't communicate
In the head keeping the sign
What is there you can't confide
Darling I can't live like this
Comfort you with just one kiss
If I know, how can I
Heal my darling mystified
Blue eyes are sensitive to the light
He doesn't want to talk
He doesn't want to fight
He wants to run away, run away to the night
Blue eyes to the night
Hold me in my dreams
For when I fall awake it feels
My heart will break
If we can't communicate
Comfort you, how can I
Heal my darling mystified
Blue eyes are sensitive to the light
He doesn't want to talk
He doesn't want to fight
He wants to run away, run and run to the night
Blue eyes to the night
Tradução
Olhos azuis são sensíveis à luz
Olhos azuis são sensíveis à luz
Surgiu e corra tão profundo
Eu vejo a meia-noite quando eu durmo
Você diz que eu sou forte e você é demasiado fraco
Para ver o mundo com uma luz nua
Olhos azuis são sensíveis à luz
Ele não quer falar
Ele não deseja lutar
Ele quer fugir, fugir à noite
Olhos azuis à luz
Sente como meu coração vai quebrar
Se não formos capazes de comunicar
Na cabeça mantendo o sinal
O que é lá que você não pode confiar
Querido eu não posso viver assim
Conforta-lo com apenas um beijo
Se eu sei, como posso
Sare minha querida mistificada
Olhos azuis são sensíveis à luz
Ele não quer falar
Ele não deseja lutar
Ele quer fugir, fugir à noite
Olhos azuis à noite
Abraça-me nos meus sonhos
Por isso, quando eu não desperto sente
O meu coração vai quebrar
Se não formos capazes de comunicar
Conforto você, como eu posso
Sare minha querida mistificada
Olhos azuis são sensíveis à luz
Ele não quer falar
Ele não deseja lutar
Ele quer fugir, correr e correr até a noite
Olhos azuis à noite.
