Next to Me
RÜFÜS DU SOL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And when the lights come down
I wanna feel you standing next to me
And can you hear me out?
There's a lifetime in front of me
And when my time runs out
I wanna feel you standing next to me

Baby, I knew this time would arrive
I knew this time would come
Ever since I first looked in your eyes
I said, "You're the one"
Oh my God, oh my God
Tell me I'm the one
Oh my God, oh my God

I wanna feel you standing next to me

Late in the evening when the sun comes down
Under the starlight as the birds fly by
I see the dust fill the twilight skies
I feel the warmth of your hand in mine
It's in the air, it's in the air
It's in the air we breathe
It's all around, it's all around us now

And when the lights come down
I wanna feel you standing next to me
And can you hear me out?
There's a lifetime in front of me
And when my time runs out
I wanna feel you standing next to me

Baby, I knew this time would arrive
I knew this time would come
Ever since I first looked in your eyes
I said, "You're the one"
Oh my God, oh my God
Tell me I'm the one
Oh my God, oh my God

I wanna feel you standing next to me





And when the lights come down
I wanna feel you standing next to me

Tradução 🇧🇷

E quando as luzes se apagam
Eu quero sentir você, de pé, ao meu lado
E você pode me ouvir?
Há uma vida inteira na minha frente
E quando meu tempo acabar
Eu quero sentir você, de pé, ao meu lado

Amor, eu sabia que essa hora chegaria
Eu sabia que essa hora chegaria
Desde a primeira vez em que olhei em seus olhos
Eu disse: Você é a única
Meu Deus, meu Deus
Me diga que eu sou o único
Meu Deus, meu Deus

Eu quero sentir você, de pé, ao meu lado

Tarde da noite, quando o Sol se põe
Sob a luz das estrelas, enquanto os pássaros voam
Eu vejo a poeira encher os céus do crepúsculo
Eu sinto o calor da sua mão na minha
Está no ar, está no ar
Está no ar que respiramos
Está ao nosso redor, agora, está ao nosso redor

E quando as luzes se apagam
Eu quero sentir você, de pé, ao meu lado
E você pode me ouvir?
Há uma vida inteira na minha frente
E quando meu tempo acabar
Eu quero sentir você, de pé, ao meu lado

Amor, eu sabia que essa hora chegaria
Eu sabia que essa hora chegaria
Desde a primeira vez em que olhei em seus olhos
Eu disse: Você é a única
Meu Deus, meu Deus
Me diga que eu sou o único
Meu Deus, meu Deus

Eu quero sentir você, de pé, ao meu lado

E quando as luzes se apagam
Eu quero sentir você, de pé, ao meu lado

I feel my daughter standing next to me. But I look down to see her and she's not there. So I look up at the sky and beg her to come back down 😭

I wish I could meet & make friends with people who listen to this type of music. People who listen to artful music like this have depth to them. The world is filled with so many shallow people... what a blessing it would be to be able to connect with everyone who loves just chilling and listening to this.

@davidkral3498

I like the way you sad that ..!
