Live Tomorrow
Laleh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun has fallen
And I've become the lonely one
The moon is dancing among the clouds
And my knees are shaking
And my dreams are braking
But I know I live
I know we could live tomorrow
(Live tomorrow)
But I know I live today,
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait!
No
I know we could live tomorrow
But I know I live today,
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait!
No
I know we could
Taking my life in my hands!
(The power who has it?)
Taking my life in my hands!
(The power who has it?)
I don't like to wait!
No, no
It's happening, It's happening
I don't like to wait!
No, no
It's happening
I know we could live tomorrow
But I know I live today,
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait!
No
I know we could live tomorrow
But I know I live today,
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait!

Текст песни
It's cold around me, the night is young
Вокруг меня холодно, ночь только начинается
The sun has fallen and I’ve become
Солнце село, и я стал
The lonely one
Одинокий человек
The moon is dancing among the clouds
Луна танцует среди облаков
And my knees are shaking,
И у меня дрожат колени,
And my dreams are breaking
И мои мечты рушатся
But I know I live
Но я знаю, что живу
But i know i live, today
Но я знаю, что живу сегодня
I know we could live tomorrow
Я знаю, мы могли бы прожить завтрашний день
But I know I live today
Но я знаю, что живу сегодняшним днем
I know we could live tomorrow
Я знаю, мы могли бы прожить завтрашний день
But I don’t think we should wait, no...
Но я не думаю, что нам следует ждать, нет...
I know we could..
Я знаю, мы могли бы..
Taking my life in my hands!
Беру свою жизнь в свои руки!
(The power who has it?)
(Сила, у кого она есть?)
Taking my life in my hands!
Беру свою жизнь в свои руки!
(The power who has it?)
(Сила, у кого она есть?)
I don’t like to wait!
Я не люблю ждать!
No, no, It’s happening, It’s happening...
Нет, нет, это происходит, это происходит...
No, i don’t like to wait!
Нет, я не люблю ждать!
no, no, It’s happening, It’s happening...
нет, нет, это происходит, это происходит...
I know we could live tomorrow
Я знаю, мы могли бы прожить завтрашний день
But I know I live today!
Но я знаю, что живу сегодняшним днем!
I know we could live tomorrow
Я знаю, мы могли бы прожить завтрашний день
But I don’t think we should wait!
Но я не думаю, что нам следует ждать!
La-la-la, love
Ла-ла-ла, любимая

Очень красивый вокал, нежная музыка. Каждый найдет в этой песне своё. Песня о том, что нужно жить дальше, оставляя прошлое позади, которого не вернуть, которое порой хочется так забыть, но это невозможно, нужно принимать все трудности в жизни и жить сейчас, с Верой в будущее!
