How Can I Go On
Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballй Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I stand dethroned
I'm naked and I bleed
But when your finger points so savagely,
Is anybody there to believe in me
To hear my plea and take care of me?
How can I go on
Who can make me strong in every way
Where can I be safe
Where can I belong
In this great big world of sadness
How can I forget
Those beautiful dreams that we shared
They're lost and they're no where to be found
How can I go on?
Sometimes I tremble in the dark
I cannot see
When people frighten me
I try to hide myself so far from the crowd
Is anybody there to comfort me
Lord, take care of me.
How can I go on
From day to day
Who can make me strong in every way
Where can I be safe
Where can I belong
In this great big world of sadness
How can I forget
Those beautiful dreams that we shared
They're lost and they're no where to be found
How can I go on?

When all the salt is taken from the sea
When all the essential things are missing or taken away
I stand dethroned, I'm naked and I bleed
I feel vulnerable and exposed
But when your finger points so savagely
But when you blame and criticize me harshly
Is anybody there to believe in me
Is anyone there to support and have faith in me
To hear my plea and take care of me?
To listen to my request and look after me
How can I go on from day to day
How can I cope with life's challenges every day
Who can make me strong in every way
Who can give me the strength I need to face everything
Where can I be safe, where can I belong
Where can I find protection and a sense of belonging
In this great big world of sadness
In a world full of sorrow and pain
How can I forget those beautiful dreams that we shared
How can I let go of the wonderful aspirations we once had
They're lost and they're no where to be found
They're gone and cannot be retrieved
How can I go on?
How can I continue living?

Suas vozes chamam atenção pela a potência das vozes. A voz de Montserrat é suave, a de freddie mercury é calma. Misturando as duas vozes vira duas vozes de anjo. Mais alguém em 2023 vendo essa obra prima?
