Careless Whispers
Orquesta La Palabra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh well, well, well...

I feel so unsure
as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
as the music dies, something in your eyes
calls to mind the silver screen
and all its sad good-byes
Ya nunca bailaré
yo no siento, ya ni el ritmo
no quiero pretender
pero sin ti no puedo
tu sin mi y yo sin ti
the wasted chances that I've been gived
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I dance with yoooouuu!!!
oohh ohhhh

Yo te quiero de verdad
cosa rica!!!

Time can never mend
the careless whispers of a good friend
to the heart and mind
ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find

Ya nunca bailare
yo no siento ya ni el ritmo
no quiero pretender
pero sin ti no puedo
tu sin mi y yo sin ti
the wasted chances that I've been gived
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I dance with yoooouuu!!!
oohh ooohhhh

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have dance forever, forever!!!

El dia que te vayas vas a sufrir, vas a sufrir!!! Rumooores!!!
rumores, rumores, romances de amores
que causan dolores

Rumooores!!!
yo te digo vida mia
esto es una pesadilla
tu eres todo en mi vida

Rumooores!!!
rumores que escuchaste
rumores en la noche
romances de amores

Rumooores!!!
si tu tienes esa dulzura
si tu tienes esa ricura
por que te voy a dejar

El dia que te vayas vas a sufrir
el dia que te vayas
vas a sufrir, vas a sufrir
El dia que te vayas vas a sufrir
yo se que tu vas a sufrir




mucho, pero mucho vas a sufrir
El dia que te vayas vas a sufrir!!! (X3
