Destiny
McAuley Schenker Group Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Better run
Run away
No time, to be a hero
You want to live to fight, another day

Don't look back, look straight ahead
One wrong move you'll be better off dead
They're out to get you boy,
You'd better run

Run away
They'll soon be breathing down your neck
Gonna kick you in the crutch
Hold on to life, better stay in touch

You hold the power in your hands
Control your destiny, make them understand
You are a part of future plans
Together you and me, we gotta make a stand

Politics Get in the way
Children starve and all they say
You want to live your gonna have to pay
No way, we should stand for this

A false word and a broken promise
Don't let them fool you now,
Retaliate
It's not too late they'll try to complicate

Don't crawl not at all
I'm waiting for your call
You hold the power in your hands
Control your destiny, make them understand

You are a part of future plans
Together you and me, we gotta make a stand
Can't seem to get enough
Can't seem to show no mercy

They'll run you down if you let 'em
Pick it up, kick it up
Never let 'em get your back up
Take it in your stride, and let it go

I will follow; to the end of time
One word, one reason, soon it could be mine
It's love I'm speaking of
Turns you inside, outside, upside down

You're confused-I feel like I've been used
You hold the power in your hands
Control your destiny, make them understand
You are a part of future plans





Together you and me, we gotta make a stand

Ποτέ μου δε σου είπα δικός σου για πάντα
Αντίθετα σου έλεγα δεν είμαι εγώ
Αυτός που θα μπορέσεις μαζί του ν' αράξεις
Λυπάμαι δεν μπορώ να μείνω άλλο εδώ
Δεν είναι ότι ψάχνω να βρω κάτι άλλο
Και ότι δε σε θέλω μωρό μου άλλο πια
Δεν ξέρω τι με κάνει να το βάζω στα ποδιά
Και τώρα όπου με βγάλει φεύγω πιο μακριά
Γι' αυτό πιες, σ' ό, τι είχαμε ζήσει μέχρι χτες
Σ' όλες τις ωραίες μας στιγμές, βρίσε με ακόμα αν το θες
Μην κλάψεις μόνο και πες, πες πως δε με γνώρισες ποτέ
ήταν οι καλύτερες στιγμές, που θα μείνουν πάντα ζωντανές
Πες πως δε μ' είδες ποτέ ω ω ω
Πες πως δε με είχες ποτέ ω ω ω
Στη σκέψη μου θα είσαι για πάντα μικρό μου
Μακάρι να μπορούσα ν' αντισταθώ
Στη μοίρα που ζητάει να είμαι μονάχος
Μα άργησα και τώρα πρέπει να βιαστώ
Γι' αυτό πιες...
Πιες, σ' ό, τι είχαμε ζήσει μέχρι χτες
Σ' όλες τις ωραίες μας στιγμές, βρίσε με ακόμα αν το θες
Μην κλάψεις μόνο και πες, πες πως δε με γνώρισες ποτέ
Ήταν οι καλύτερες στιγμές, που θα μείνουν πάντα ζωντανές
Πες πως δε μ' είχες ποτέ

DESTINO

Melhor correr
Fugir
Sem tempo para ser um herói
Você quer viver para lutar, outro dia

Não olhe para trás, olhe para frente
Um movimento errado, você estará melhor morto
Eles estão lá fora por você garoto
É melhor você correr
Fugir

Eles logo estarão respirando no seu pescoço
Irão chutar você na muleta
Segure a vida, fique em contato

Você segura o poder em suas mãos
Controle seu destino, faça-os entender
Você faz parte dos planos futuros
Juntos, você e eu, temos que tomar uma posição

Política entre o caminho
Crianças morrem de fome e tudo o que dizem
Você quer viver, você terá que pagar
De jeito nenhum devemos defender isso

Uma palavra falsa e uma promessa quebrada
Não deixe que eles te enganem agora
Retaliação
Não é tarde demais, eles tentarão complicar
Não rasteje nem um pouco
Eu estou esperando sua ligação

Você segura o poder em suas mãos
Controle seu destino, faça-os entender
Você faz parte dos planos futuros
Juntos, você e eu, temos que tomar uma posição

Não consigo obter o suficiente
Não consigo mostrar misericórdia
Eles vão te atropelar se você deixar
Pegue, chute
Nunca deixe que eles se recuperem
Leve-os no seu ritmo e deixe-os ir

Eu vou seguir; até o fim dos tempos
Uma palavra, uma razão, em breve poderá ser meu
É do amor que estou falando
Transforma você dentro, fora, de cabeça para baixo
Você está confuso
Sente que foi usado

Você segura o poder em suas mãos
Controle seu destino, faça-os entender
Você faz parte dos planos futuros
Juntos, você e eu, temos que tomar uma posição
