Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah, take a look and you'll see
The way I have become and the way things became
Sadness and sorrow are here
In the little things you touched with your hands

This loving home was a home so happy
To protect you and keep you with care
The flowers in the window were smiling
Were glowing just knowing you were there

Listen my love, nevermore
Don't ever go away
'Cause we are you are your life and your dream
And we want you to stay

Come in my love
Come to me, don't let this heartless world
Bring another good bye




Embrace me in a simple way
Don't speak, don't remember and darling don't cry

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said I'm strong, now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds the blackened tear, oh
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
I love the sound of you walking away
Walking away, hey, hey

Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?

No buildings will fall down
Don't you walk away
No quake will split the ground
Won't you walk away
The sun won't swallow the sky
Won't you walk away
Statues will not cry
Don't you walk away
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?

I cannot stand to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong, stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh
And I’m not cold, I am old
At least as old as you are

And as you walk away
Oh as you walk away
And as you walk away

My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind’s a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin’s falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is static
As you walk away
Oh as you walk away
Oh as you walk away
Oh as you walk away, hey

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs
Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back



Patricio Hondagneu Roig

La traduje como pude al español (así, sin traductor):

Cambié mi inocencia por orgullo,
crucé la línea de una zancada,
dije que ahora soy fuerte,
ya se que estoy abandonando.

Amo el sonido de
vos alejándote,
vos alejándote.

El rímel deja sangrar
una lágrima negra,
ay...

Y soy frío,
si, soy frío,
pero no tan frío
como vos sos.

Amo el sonido de
vos alejándote,
vos alejándote.

Amo el sonido de
vos alejándote,
alejándote,
hey, hey...

¿Por qué no te alejás?
¿Por qué no te alejás?

¿Por qué no te alejás?
Ningún edificio se va a derrumbar.
¿No te vas a alejar?
Ningún terremoto va a partir el suelo.

¿No te vas a alejar?
El sol no se va a tragar el cielo.
¿No te vas a alejar?
Las estatuas no van a llorar.

¿No te alejás?
¿Por qué no te alejás?
¿Por qué no te alejás?
¿Por qué no te alejás? Hey...

No puedo darme vuelta para ver esos ojos
porque las disculpas podrían surgir,
debo ser fuerte
y seguir siendo desconfiado.

Amo el sonido de
vos alejándote,
vos alejándote.

El rímel sangra
dentro de mi ojo,
ay...

Y no soy frío,
estoy viejo
al menos tan viejo
como vos estás.

Y mientras te alejás,
ay, mientras te alejás.

Mientras te alejás
mi lápida se derrumba.
Mientras te alejás
el viento de Hollywood es un aullido.

Mientras te alejás
el Kremlin se viene abajo.
Mientras te alejás
la Radio Cuatro es estática.

Mientras te alejás,
ay, mientras te alejás,
ay, mientras te alejás,
ay, mientras te alejás, hey...

La estocada de un estilete
en una noche silenciosa.
Stalin sonríe y Hitler carcajea,
Churchill palmea a Mao Tse Tung en la espalda.



Carlos Gonzalez

En realidad hubiera quedado mejor así:

No puedo darme vuelta para ver esos ojos
porque las disculpas podrían surgir,
debo ser fuerte , seguir siendo desconfiado

Y amar el sonido de

vos alejándote,
vos alejándote.

Cambia totalmente el sentido de la canción.



CARLA MONETTA

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said I'm strong, now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds the blackened tear, oh
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
I love the sound of you walking away
Walking away, hey, hey
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Don't you walk away
No quake will split the ground
Won't you walk away
The sun won't swallow the sky
Won't you walk away
Statues will not cry
Don't you walk away
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
I cannot stand to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong, stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh
And I'm not cold, I am old
At least as old as you are
And as you walk away
Oh as you walk away
And as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind's a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is static
As you walk away
Oh as you walk away
Oh as you walk away
Oh as you walk away, hey
The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs
Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back
