After the commercial success of Bat Out of Hell and Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell, and earning a Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance for the song "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)", Meat Loaf nevertheless experienced some difficulty establishing a steady career within the United States. The key to this success was his popularity in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom and Ireland. He received the 1994 Brit Award in the United Kingdom for best-selling album and single. He appeared in the 1997 film Spice World and he ranked 23rd for the number of weeks spent on the UK charts in 2006. He ranks 96th on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". Meat Loaf appeared in over 50 films and television shows, sometimes as himself or as characters resembling his stage persona. His film roles include Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and Robert Paulsen in Fight Club (1999). His early stage work included dual roles in the original Broadway cast of The Rocky Horror Show. He also appeared in the musical Hair, both on and Off-Broadway.

I'd Lie for You
Meat Loaf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd never leave, I'd be the one who'd always be around
Baby, give me a chance
I'd pull the sun down from the sky
To light your darkest night
I wouldn't let one drop of rain fall down into your life
Put your heart in my hands
Baby, believe me, I could never do you wrong
And I would never paint your world blue
And if sometimes it seems I must have lost my mind
I might be crazy, but I'm crazy about you
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Do anything you asked me to
I'd even sell my soul for you, I'd do it all for you
If you just believe in me
Just take a look in my eyes
You'll see a love that's blind
Just take a hold of my hand, I'll take you to paradise
Ain't a star that's too far
Your every wish will be a wish
That I will make come true
And if you want the moon
I swear I'll bring it down for you
Let me into your heart
Believe me, baby, got your name carved on my soul
'Cause you're the only one that I'll give it to
Go let 'em say that I'm a fool to act this way
'Cause if I'm crazy, I'm just crazy 'bout you
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Do anything you asked me to
I'd even sell my soul for you, I'd do it all for you
If you just believe in me
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for you
If you just believe in me
And you will never see a day, I'll ever break your heart
You'll see the sky fall down before it ever gets that far
I'll show you Heaven every second that you're in my arms
Baby, I'm crazy, but I'm crazy 'bout you
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for you
If you just believe in me
I'd walk across the wild for you
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
Do anything you'd ask me to
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Do anything you ask me to
I'd even sell my soul for you
I'd do it all for you
If you just believe in me
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for you
If you just believe in me
I'd lie for you and that's the truth

Eu nunca te contaria uma mentira, eu nunca te decepcionaria
I'd never tell you one lie, I'd never let you down
Eu nunca iria embora, eu seria aquele que sempre estaria por perto
I'd never leave, I'd be the one who'd always be around
Querida, me dê uma chance
Baby, give me a chance
eu puxaria o sol para baixo do céu
I'd pull the sun down from the sky
Para iluminar sua noite mais escura
To light your darkest night
Eu não deixaria uma gota de chuva cair em sua vida
I wouldn't let one drop of rain fall down into your life
Coloque seu coração em minhas mãos
Put your heart in my hands
Baby, acredite em mim, eu nunca poderia te fazer mal
Baby, believe me, I could never do you wrong
E eu nunca pintaria seu mundo de azul
And I would never paint your world blue
E se às vezes parece que devo ter perdido a cabeça
And if sometimes it seems I must have lost my mind
Eu posso ser louco, mas sou louco por você
I might be crazy, but I'm crazy about you
Eu mentiria por você e essa é a verdade
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Faça qualquer coisa que você me pediu
Do anything you asked me to
Eu até venderia minha alma por você, faria tudo por você
I'd even sell my soul for you, I'd do it all for you
Se você apenas acredita em mim
If you just believe in me
Basta dar uma olhada nos meus olhos
Just take a look in my eyes
Você verá um amor que é cego
You'll see a love that's blind
Apenas segure minha mão, eu vou te levar para o paraíso
Just take a hold of my hand, I'll take you to paradise
Não é uma estrela que está muito longe
Ain't a star that's too far
Cada desejo seu será um desejo
Your every wish will be a wish
Que eu vou tornar realidade
That I will make come true
E se você quer a lua
And if you want the moon
Eu juro que vou derrubá-lo para você
I swear I'll bring it down for you
Deixe-me entrar em seu coração
Let me into your heart
Acredite em mim, baby, seu nome está gravado na minha alma
Believe me, baby, got your name carved on my soul
Porque você é o único a quem eu darei
'Cause you're the only one that I'll give it to
Vá deixá-los dizer que eu sou um tolo por agir dessa maneira
Go let 'em say that I'm a fool to act this way
Porque se eu sou louco, eu sou louco por você
'Cause if I'm crazy, I'm just crazy 'bout you
Eu mentiria por você e essa é a verdade
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Faça qualquer coisa que você me pediu
Do anything you asked me to
Eu até venderia minha alma por você, faria tudo por você
I'd even sell my soul for you, I'd do it all for you
Se você apenas acredita em mim
If you just believe in me
Eu mentiria por você e essa é a verdade
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Mova montanhas se você quiser
Move mountains if you want me to
Eu atravessaria o fogo por você
I'd walk across the fire for you
eu andaria na selva por você
I'd walk on the wild for you
Se você apenas acredita em mim
If you just believe in me
E você nunca verá um dia, eu vou quebrar seu coração
And you will never see a day, I'll ever break your heart
Você verá o céu cair antes que chegue tão longe
You'll see the sky fall down before it ever gets that far
Eu vou te mostrar o céu a cada segundo que você está em meus braços
I'll show you Heaven every second that you're in my arms
Baby, eu sou louco, mas sou louco por você
Baby, I'm crazy, but I'm crazy 'bout you
Eu mentiria por você e essa é a verdade
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Mova montanhas se você quiser
Move mountains if you want me to
Eu atravessaria o fogo por você
I'd walk across the fire for you
Eu andaria na selva por você
I'd walk on the wild for you
