Nothing Else Matters
Metallica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close, no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

Я так близок к истине, что мне уже не важно, как я от неё далёк
Так искренне я еще не говорил
Нужно просто быть самим собой и верить в себя
А всё остальное неважно

Я раньше никогда так не изъяснялся
Но жизнь - твоя, и тебе ею распоряжаться
И это не пустые слова
А всё остальное неважно

Я искал преданности - я нашёл её в тебе
И дни перестали быть серыми
Теперь я могу смотреть на мир под другим углом
А всё остальное неважно

Для меня неважно, что делают другие
И мне неважно, что они знают
Главное то, что знаю я

Я так близок к истине, что мне уже не важно, как я от неё далёк
Так искренне я еще не говорил
Нужно просто быть самим собой и верить в себя
А всё остальное неважно

Для меня неважно, что делают другие
И мне неважно, что они знают
Главное то, что знаю я

Я раньше никогда так не изъяснялся
Но жизнь - твоя, и тебе ею распоряжаться
И это не пустые слова
А всё остальное неважно

Я искал преданности - я нашёл её в тебе
И дни перестали быть серыми
Теперь я могу смотреть на мир под другим углом
А всё остальное неважно

Для меня неважно, что другие говорят
И мне неважно, какие интриги они плетут
Для меня неважно, что делают другие
И мне неважно, что они знают
Главное то, что знаю я

Я так близок к истине, что мне уже не важно, как я от неё далёк
Так искренне я еще не говорил
Нужно просто быть самим собой и верить в себя
А всё остальное неважно

Судя по фото молодой. а так красиво все сказано , а в преф сталинград, сочинка?
Мизер без хозяйки не заказывай , начали с копейки потом пятьдесят. на рубль вышли прикол (со своими играли три колоды карт покупали),7-10 лет играли
Эх были времена . В КПИ начал , под вистующего с тузующего , под игрока с симака.
С 1990 год так наигрались . Мне 48 азарт уже не тот . А деньги в префе останавливают, думать заставляют
Решил послушать старое доброе вечное, а тут такое.
P.S. Преф сила , так что пульку распишем. Так играли что . короче масть читать нада .
Берешь карты и все и туз не играет вот такие раскладкы были,
С туза пошел ,а там масть на другой руке. И не играет туз. А рассчитывал на взятку. Много играли просто и такое бывает.А Туз прикинь голый.
Извини что так. Мы до 40 начинали , бывало дальше писали
Спасибо за воспоминания...

I live in Germany and just came back from jogging in a park where they played an out door concert. I sat in the rain with thunder and lightning in the background, it was dark and they played this song. It was magical. Good music is timeless.
