Gabrielle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that it's over
But I can't believe we're through
They say that time is a healer
And i'm better without you
It's gonna take time i know
But I'll get over you

CHORUS:
Look at my life
Look at my heart
I have seen them fall apart
Now i'm ready to rise again
Look at my hopes
Look at my dreams
I'm building bridges from these scenes
Now I'm ready to rise again

Caught up in my thinking
Yeah
Like a prisoner in my mind
You pose so many questions
But the truth was hard to find
I better think twice i know
That i'll get over you

CHORUS:
Look at my life
Look at my heart
I have seen them fall apart
Now i'm ready to rise again
Look at my hopes
Look at my dreams
I'm building bridges from these scenes
Now i'm ready to rise again

Much time has passed between us
Do you still think of me at all
My world of broken promises
Now you won't catch me when i fall

CHORUS:
Look at my life
Look at my heart
I have seen them fall apart
Now i'm ready to rise again
Look at my hopes
Look at my dreams




I'm building bridges from these scenes
Now i'm ready to rise again

Overall Meaning

The song "Gabrielle" featuring Tupac, is a soulful ballad about heartbreak and the process of moving on. The singer is reflecting on a past relationship that has ended and is struggling to come to terms with the breakup. The opening lines convey the sense of disbelief the singer is feeling, despite the fact that time is supposed to heal all wounds. The following lines express the hope that the singer will eventually recover from the heartbreak, but acknowledges that it will take time.


The chorus serves as a declaration of the singer's readiness to move forward, despite the heartbreak of the past. The use of repetition ("Look at my life/Look at my heart") emphasizes the contrast between the brokenness of the past and the singer's determination to move forward. The second verse refocuses on the mental anguish that the singer has faced since the breakup, acknowledging it as a kind of prison that they must break free from. The verse also hints at the tension and conflict that may have contributed to the end of the relationship.


The final verse expresses a sense of longing for the past, asking if the former partner still thinks of the singer. But the singer ultimately asserts their independence, refusing to let the broken promises of the past hold them back. In the end, the song is a powerful anthem about resilience and the strength to move on from heartbreak.

Letra
Gabrielle -Brett Eldredge

Eu fui pego em seus olhos castanhos
Olhando para o céu azul
Realmente me fez perceber
Eles não os fazem como você
Pele de canela ao sol
Tempo parado ao luar
Realmente me fez sentir como
Como se eu pudesse me apaixonar por você

Então um dia você foi embora
E eu estive pensando por tanto tempo

Oh, era seu coração ou o meu?
Foi na hora errada, Gabrielle?
Nós nunca chegamos muito longe
Mas, garota, onde quer que você esteja
Eu desejo você bem
Gabrielle

Você estava colhendo flores em uma estrada lateral
Apoiando-se em um poste
Não pude deixar de notar
Você estava querendo algo mais
Eu estava olhando ao longe
Pisquei duas vezes e eu perdi
Podemos apenas retroceder
Como era antes?

E eu acordei e você se foi
E eu estive pensando por tanto tempo

Oh, era seu coração ou o meu?
Foi na hora errada, Gabrielle?
Nós nunca chegamos muito longe
Mas, garota, onde quer que você esteja
Eu desejo você bem
Ah, Gabrielle
Oh

E as milhas, eles voam
Até você voltar para casa novamente
E você já se perguntou
O que poderíamos ter sido?

Eu ainda posso te ver parado lá
Sol brilhando atrás do seu vestido
Sua silhueta
Mmh, tão perfeito
Leve-me de volta para lá
Leve-me de volta para lá

Oh, era seu coração ou o meu?
Foi na hora errada, Gabrielle?
Nós nunca chegamos muito longe
Mas, garota, onde quer que você esteja
Eu desejo você bem
Ah, Gabrielle
Ah, Gabrielle
Oh, foi apenas a hora errada?
Ah, Gabrielle

If anyone wants the lyrics, i have posted them below ⬇️.

I was caught up in your brown eyes
Lookin' up at the blue skies
Really made me realize
They don't make 'em quite like you
Cinnamon skin in the sunshine
Stopped time in the moonlight
Really made me feel like
Like I could fall for you

Then one day you were just gone
And I've been wonderin' for so long

Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
But, girl, wherever you are
I wish you well
Gabrielle

You were pickin' flowers on a side road
Leanin' back on a fence post
Couldn't help but notice
You were wantin' somethin' more
I was starin' off in the distance
Blinked twice and I missed it
Can we just rewind it
Like it was before?

And I woke up and you were gone
And I've been wonderin' for so long

Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
But, girl, wherever you are
I wish you well
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh

And the miles, they fly by
Until you land back home again
And do you ever wonder
What we might have been?

I can still see ya standin' there
Sun shinin' behind your dress
Your silhouette
Mmh, so perfect
Take me back there
Take me back there

Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
But, girl, wherever you are
I wish you well
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh, was it just the wrong time?
Oh, Gabrielle

I was caught up in your brown eyes
Lookin' up at the blue skies
Really made me realize
They don't make 'em quite like you
Cinnamon skin in the sunshine
Stopped time in the moonlight
Really made me feel like
Like I could fall for you
Then one day you were just gone
And I've been wonderin' for so long
Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Was it just the wrong time, Teisha Elkins?
We never got very far
But, girl, wherever you are
I wish you well

BRETT ELDREDGE (2020) – GABRIELLE (Traducción)
I was caught up in your brown eyes
Estaba atrapado en tus ojos castaños
Lookin' up at the blue skies
Alzando la vista hacia los cielos azules
Really made me realize
En realidad hicieron que me diera cuenta
They don't make 'em quite like you
De que no te ganan a ti
Cinnamon skin in the sunshine
Piel canela bajo la luz del sol
Stop time in the moonlight
El tiempo detenido bajo la luz de la luna
Really made me feel like
Realmente me hizo sentir como
Like I could fall for you
Como si pudiera enamorarme de ti

Then one day you were just gone
Luego un día sencillamente te fuiste
And I've been wonderin' for so long
Y he estado preguntándome tanto tiempo

Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Oh, ¿era tú corazón o el mío?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
¿Era simplemente el momento equivocado, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
Nunca llegamos demasiado lejos
But, girl, wherever you are
Pero, nena, donde quiera que estés
I wish you well
Te deseo lo mejor
Gabrielle

You were pickin' flowers on a side road
Estabas recogiendo flores en un camino
Leanin' back on a fence post
Apoyada sobre el poste de la cerca
Couldn't help but notice
No pude evitar darme cuenta
You were wantin' somethin' more
De que querías algo más
I was starin' off in the distance
Yo estaba con la mirada perdida
Blinked twice and I missed it
Parpadeé dos vece y me lo perdí
Can we just rewind it like it was before?
¿Podemos rebobinar hasta antes?

And I woke up and you were gone
Y me desperté y te habías ido
And I've been wonderin' for so long
Y he estado prenguntándome tanto tiempo

Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Oh, ¿era tú corazón o el mío?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
¿Era simplemente el momento equivocado, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
Nunca llegamos demasiado lejos
But, girl, wherever you are
Pero, nena, donde quiera que estés
I wish you well
Te deseo lo mejor
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh

And the miles, they fly by
Y las millas, pasan volando
Until you land back home again
Hasta que aterrizas de vuelta al hogar
And do you ever wonder
¿Y alguna vez te preguntas
What we might have been?
Qué podría haber sido?

I can still see ya standin' there
Puedo aún verte allí
Sun shinin' behind your dress
El sol brillando tras tu vestido
Your silhouette
Tu silueta
Mmh, so perfect
Mmh, tan perfecto
Take me back there
Llévame de vuelta allí
Take me back there
Llévame de vuelta allí

Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Oh, ¿era tú corazón o el mío?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
¿Era simplemente el momento equivocado, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
Nunca llegamos demasiado lejos
But, girl, wherever you are
Pero, nena, donde quiera que estés
I wish you well
Te deseo lo mejor
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh, was it just the wrong time?
Oh, ¿era simplemente el momento equivocado?
Gabrielle

Recently attended one of Brett's concerns. Knew a couple songs going in but that's about it. Hands down one of the best concerns I've ever been to and I've seen hundreds. He comes across so sincerely and it felt like every song was sung for the first time. Now a huge fan!

Schae Booskie

Did he bring his dog? At the concert I went to, he brought his dog on stage
