Stewart's music career began in 1962 when he took up busking with a harmonica. In 1963, he joined The Dimensions as a harmonica player and vocalist. In 1964, Stewart joined Long John Baldry and the All Stars before moving to the Jeff Beck Group in 1967. Joining Faces in 1969, he also maintained a solo career releasing his debut album that year. Stewart's early albums were a fusion of rock, folk music, soul music, and R&B. His third album, 1971's Every Picture Tells a Story, was his breakthrough, topping the charts in the UK, US, Canada and Australia, as did its ballad "Maggie May". His 1972 follow-up album, Never a Dull Moment, also reached number one in the UK and Australia, while going top three in the US and Canada. Its single, "You Wear It Well", topped the chart in the UK and was a moderate hit elsewhere.
After Stewart had a handful more UK top ten hits, the Faces broke up in 1975. Stewart's next few hit singles were ballads with "Sailing", off the 1975 UK and Australian number-one album, Atlantic Crossing, becoming a hit in the UK and the Netherlands (number one), Germany (number four) and other countries, but barely charting in North America. A Night on the Town (1976), his fifth straight chart-topper in the UK, began a three-album run of going number one or top three in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia with each release. That album's "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)" spent almost two months at number one in the US and Canada, and made the top five in other countries. Foot Loose & Fancy Free (1977) contained the hit "You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim)" as well as the rocker "Hot Legs". Blondes Have More Fun (1978) and its disco-tinged "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" both went to number one in Canada, Australia and the US, with "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" also hitting number one in the UK and the top ten in other countries. Stewart's albums regularly hit the upper rungs of the charts in the Netherlands throughout the 70s and in Sweden from 1975 onward.
After a disco and new wave period in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Stewart's music turned to a soft rock/middle-of-the-road style, with most of his albums reaching the top ten in the UK, Germany and Sweden, but faring less well in the US. The single "Rhythm of My Heart" was a top five hit in the UK, US and other countries, with its source album, 1991's Vagabond Heart, becoming, at number ten in the US and number two in the UK, his highest-charting album in a decade. In 1993, he collaborated with Bryan Adams and Sting on the power ballad "All for Love", which went to number one in many countries. In the early 2000s, he released a series of successful albums interpreting the Great American Songbook.
In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked him the 17th most successful artist on the "Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists". A Grammy and Brit Award recipient, he was voted at No. 33 in Q Magazine's list of the Top 100 Greatest Singers of all time. As a solo artist, Stewart was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and he was inducted a second time into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Faces.

I Don`t Want To Talk About It
Rod Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it,
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen
To my heart,
Whoa, my heart?
If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the colors of my heart
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
The stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you,
They're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it,
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen
To my heart,
Whoa, my heart?
My heart
Ooh, my heart, this old heart
I don't want to
Talk about it,
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen
To my heart,
Whoa, my heart?
My heart,
Whoa, my heart
The song "I Don't Want to Talk About It" is a heartbreaking love song that speaks of a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics suggest that the persona is trying to cope with the aftermath of a breakup, but his feelings are still raw and he can't bring himself to talk about what happened. The persona can read the pain in the eyes of his lover, and the stars in the sky that would normally be a source of solace are meaningless. The image of the stars being a mirror is profound in that it suggests that the lover sees only her own pain and reflects it back to the persona.
The chorus is a lamentation of the broken heart, as the persona begs for more time to express how he feels. The fear of being alone is palpable, as the persona questions if the shadow will hide the colors of his heart if he stands alone. The colors of his heart are blue for the tears he has shed and black for the fears he has faced in the night. Still, the persona is hoping that his lover will listen to his heart, which is breaking and needs solace. The repetition of the chorus is a poignant reminder that even though he doesn't want to talk about it, he needs someone to listen to his heart.

I can tell by your eyes
That you've probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing
To you, they're a mirror
I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart

How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?

@@saluamokayad2518 Eu posso dizer pelos seus olhos
Que você provavelmente
Chorando desde sempre,
E as estrelas no céu
Não significa nada para você,
Eles são um espelho.
Eu não quero falar sobre isso,
Como você quebrou meu coração.
Se eu ficar aqui um pouco mais,
Se eu ficar aqui,
Você não vai ouvir meu coração, uau, coração?
Se eu ficar sozinho,
A sombra se esconderá
A cor do meu coração;
Azul pelas lágrimas,
Preto para os medos da noite.
A estrela no céu
Não significa nada para você,
Eles são um espelho.
Eu não quero falar sobre isso,
Como você quebrou meu coração.
Se eu ficar aqui um pouco mais,
Se eu ficar aqui,
Você não vai ouvir meu coração, uau, coração?
Eu não quero falar sobre isso,
Como você partiu esse velho coração.
Se eu ficar aqui um pouco mais,
Se eu ficar aqui,
Você não vai ouvir meu coração, uau, coração?
Meu coração, uau, coração.h
