You Don't Belong to Me
Imany Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say
To me
My love
you need

No one
They say
to me
you need
No one can tell
Tomorrow

Hold my heart,
Touch my soul,
Just make sure you don't let go.
'Cause life is short,
Yes I know,
Let us never grow apart.
So pull me close in your arms,
Hold so tight let's catch the stars.
Cause we own the night,
We own the night.

They say you don't belong to me
That my love is not what you need anymore
I say what matters is what you believe
No one can tell us how we feel tomorrow

Please hold on,
Don't go home
trust my hand
I won't let go
My love is pure,
you said so
Let us never grow apart
So let's run out,
side by side.
Yes real fast,
don't change your mind.
Cause you are mine,
and I am yours

They say you don't belong to me
That my love is not what you need anymore
I say what matters is what you believe
No one can tell us how we feel tomorrow

And I tell you all the time,
That you are my only one.
You call me, you call me and I'm home.
Oh I wish you can be mine,
That I need you by my side.
You call me, you call me, I'm your home.

They say you don't belong to me
That my love is not what you need anymore
But I say what matters is what you believe
No one can tell us how we feel tomorrow

They say you don't belong to me
That my love is not what you need anymore




But I say what matters is what you believe
No one can tell us how we feel tomorrow

Haré mi mejor esfuerzo con mi mejor inglés
**********

Toma mi corazón
Toca mi alma
Asegúrate de no dejarlos ir
Porque la vida es corta
Yo lo sé
No dejes que se separen
Así que sujetame fuerte en tus brazos
Sujetame fuerte para atrapar las estrellas
Porque la noche es nuestra
Es nuestra.

Dicen que no me perteneces
Que mi amor no es lo que necesitas ya
Yo digo que lo importante es lo que tú crees
Nadie puede decirnos cómo nos sentiremos mañana.

Por favor espera
No te vayas a casa
Confía en mi mano
No te dejaré ir
Mi amor es puro
Tú lo has dicho
Nunca nos separemos
Así que corramos
Lado a lado
Muy fuerte
No lo dudes
Porque eres mío/mía
Y yo soy tuyo/tuya

Dicen que no me perteneces
Que mi amor no es lo que necesitas ya
Yo digo que lo importante es lo que tú crees
Nadie puede decirnos cómo nos sentiremos mañana.

Y te digo todo el tiempo
Que tú eres el/la único/única
Me llamas, me llamas y siempre estoy en casa
Deseo que tengas en cuenta
Que te necesito a mi lado
Me llamas, me llamas, y tu hogar soy yo

Dicen que no me perteneces
Que mi amor no es lo que necesitas ya
Yo digo que lo importante es lo que tú crees
Nadie puede decirnos cómo nos sentiremos mañana.

Dicen que no me perteneces
Que mi amor no es lo que necesitas ya
Yo digo que lo importante es lo que tú crees
Nadie puede decirnos cómo nos sentiremos mañana.

This singer is so underrated. She has a unique voice and amazing songs. Someone should pay more attention to her talent.

@kartalyanas8945

I never thought that I'd use the word "underrated." but this song is totally underrated, maybe because lyrics can't relate to everybody, but to ones who does relate, they'll agree that this song is beyond amazing.

@mamamarianovits9029

Kartal Yanaş
I have just found this incredible talent, binge listening now!!!lol. And yes, completely underrated.

@jankabacova5620

it is amazing ...i think one of the best with such a tune. It is sad but positive at the same time. I think it could speak to many people

@zahraty27

Yes it is amazing. But there's a problem: The lyrics are sad and the music is happy !
