Stranger
SMOKIE (Rock Ballads) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the night has fallen
And the moon is high
And you get that far away look in your eyes
Oh can't you see you're acting like a stranger
When your loving feelings are so hard to find
And you can deceive me with your made-up lines
Lord knows you sound just like a stranger
So just in case you've changed your mind
You've got love if you want it and it can't go wrong
And just in case you find the time
You've got love if you need it and it can't go wrong

But stranger you're in danger
Of losing me
Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me

When the wind is howling and the rain comes down
And you lie awake without a sound
Feel like I'm living with a stranger
When I try to hold you and you turn away
There seems so little left for me to say
Oh Lord knows you look just like a stranger

So just in case you've changed your mind
You've got love if you want it and it can't go wrong
And just in case you find the time
You've got love if you need it and it can't go wrong
But stranger you're in danger
Of losing me
Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me
Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me




Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Smokie's song "Stranger" tell the story of a couple whose relationship is on the rocks. The singer is addressing their partner, who has been distant and emotionally unavailable. He describes how she looks like a stranger to him, despite their history of love and intimacy. The singer's words suggest that he is willing to work on their relationship and that he still loves her, but he warns her that she is in danger of losing him if she continues to act like a stranger.


The lyrics use a lot of imagery to convey the sense of alienation and distance between the two lovers. The night, the moon, and the wind all serve to underscore the feeling of isolation and loneliness. The use of repetition in the chorus, with the phrase "you've got love if you want it and it can't go wrong", emphasizes the idea that love can conquer all if both parties are willing to work at it.


Line by Line Meaning

When the night has fallen
Once darkness has fallen


And the moon is high
When the moon is at its peak


And you get that far away look in your eyes
And your gaze becomes distant


Oh can't you see you're acting like a stranger
Can't you recognize that you're behaving like someone unfamiliar


When your loving feelings are so hard to find
When it's difficult to find any love in your heart


And you can deceive me with your made-up lines
And you can trick me with your fake words


Lord knows you sound just like a stranger
God knows you speak as if you're a stranger


So just in case you've changed your mind
But in the event that you've changed your feelings


You've got love if you want it and it can't go wrong
You have the option of love, which will never fail


And just in case you find the time
And if you happen to have free time


You've got love if you need it and it can't go wrong
You have the ability to love, which can never be unsuccessful


But stranger you're in danger
However, you, as someone strange, are at risk


Of losing me
Of losing my affection and relationship


When the wind is howling and the rain comes down
When the weather is stormy


And you lie awake without a sound
And you remain silent while awake


Feel like I'm living with a stranger
I feel as though I'm living with someone unknown


When I try to hold you and you turn away
When I attempt to hug you and you push me away


There seems so little left for me to say
It appears as though I have nothing else to express


Oh Lord knows you look just like a stranger
Oh God knows you seem exactly like a stranger


But stranger you're in danger
But, stranger, you are jeopardizing


Of losing me
Of losing our bond


Oh stranger you're in danger
Oh stranger, you are at risk


Of losing me
Of losing our relationship


Oh stranger you're in danger
Oh stranger, you are in peril


Of losing me
Of losing the connection we share

Незнакомка

Когда спускается ночь
И луна в вышине,
И такой далекий взгляд твоих глаз...
О, разве ты не понимаешь,
Что ведешь себя, как незнакомка?
Если твои любовные чувства так тяжело отыскать,
И ты можешь обмануть меня своим макияжем,
Бог свидетель — ты будто незнакомка.

В случае, если ты передумаешь,
У тебя есть любовь, если ты хочешь этого.
И это не может быть неправильным.
И в случае, если ты найдешь время,
У тебя есть любовь, если тебе нужна она.
И это не может быть неправильным.

Но, незнакомка, тебе угрожает опасность
Потерять меня.
О, незнакомка, тебе угрожает опасность
Потерять меня.

Когда воет ветер и идет дождь,
И ты беззвучно лежишь с открытыми глазами,
Такое чувство, что я живу с незнакомкой.
Когда я пытаюсь обнять тебя, а ты отворачиваешься,
Кажется, что так мало осталось мне сказать.
Бог свидетель — ты выглядишь как незнакомка.

В случае, если ты передумаешь,
У тебя есть любовь, если ты хочешь этого.
И это не может быть неправильным.
И в случае, если ты найдешь время,
У тебя есть любовь, если тебе нужна она.
И это не может быть неправильным.

Но, незнакомка, тебе угрожает опасность
Потерять меня.
О, незнакомка, тебе угрожает опасность
Потерять меня.
О, незнакомка, тебе угрожает опасность
Потерять меня.
О, незнакомка, тебе угрожает опасность
Потерять меня.

When the night has fallen
And the moon is high
And you get that far away look in your eyes
Oh can't you see you're acting like a stranger
When your loving feelings are so hard to find
And you can deceive me with your made-up lines
Lord knows you sound just like a stranger

So just in case you've changed your mind
You've got love if you want it and it can't go wrong
And just in case you find the time
You've got love if you need it and it can't go wrong

But stranger you're in danger
Of losing me
Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me


When the wind is howling and the rain comes down
And you lie awake without a sound
Feel like I'm living with a stranger
When I try to hold you and you turn away
There seems so little left for me to say
Oh Lord knows you look just like a stranger

So just in case you've changed your mind
You've got love if you want it and it can't go wrong
And just in case you find the time
You've got love if you need it and it can't go wrong
But stranger you're in danger
Of losing me
Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me
Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me
Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me

Смоки, есть Смоки, отличный
квартет, в 70-е годы звучали
со всех магнитофонов?!
Красивые мелодии, от них
сердце замирает, до сих пор!
И сейчас, слушаю с удовольствием, классика
музыкальной эпохи!!!

Viktor Dobrulya

Один из перлов Смоков! Ностальгия захлестывает! Какое счастье, что мы воспитывались на такой музыке. Ровестникам и почитателям Смоков - респект.
