Someone Like You
Sabrina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to verbalize the reason why I find you charming and so disarming.
But my words escape me running away on this runaway train of thought
If only bravery could be bought
Cuz I think it would be funny
If you could only know all the ways I think of you
And all the ways that I don't.
Would you turn and walk away
Would you turn around and run
Or would you smile as if to say not knowing's half the fun.
But I've been waiting for someone like you
And I'm hoping that you've been waiting for someone like me too.
You're self-assured I'm unnerved
When you speak I can almost taste your words
That drip like honey from your lips.
When you pass me by
I'm aching I end up staring
Gripped by your demeanor
With just a glance to hold me over a
Nd I think it would be priceless
If you could only know all the ways I think of you
And all the ways that I don't
Would you turn and walk away
Would you turn around and run
Or would you smile as if to say not knowing's half the fun




But I've been waiting for someone like you
And I'm hoping that you've been waiting for someone like me too

Ce titre est très spécial pour moi…
Déjà Adèle est une artiste que j’aime profondément, sa musique, son écriture m’ont toujours beaucoup touchée, Je vous met les paroles ci-dessous traduites en français si vous avez l’envi.
J’espère que cette chorégraphie vous plaira, chaque danseur avait la possibilité de donner la fin de son choix pour raconter l’histoire qu’il souhaitait, ainsi à chaque danseur une nouvelle couleur…

You'd know how the time flies.
Si tu savais comme le temps passe vite
Only yesterday was the time of our lives.
Hier était le temps de nos vies
We were born and raised in a summery haze.
Nous étions nés et élevés dans une brume d'été
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.
Liés par la surprise de nos jours de gloire.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
Je déteste réapparaître soudainement sans être invitée
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
Mais je ne pourrais pas rester éloignée, je ne pourrais pas vaincre ça
I hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded,
Je veux que tu vois mon visage, et que tu te souviennes
That for me, it isn't over.
Que pour moi ce n'est pas fini

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
Ne t'en fais pas, je trouverai quelqu'un comme toi
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Je ne souhaite rien d'autre que le meilleur pour toi aussi
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said :
Ne m'oublie pas, je t'en prie, je me souviens que tu avais dit :
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
"Parfois l'amour dure, mais parfois au lieu de ça, il fait mal"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah.
Parfois l'amour dure, mais parfois au lieu de ça, il fait mal, ouais

Wow... Je n'ai plus de mots... Magnifique chorégraphie sur une magnifique chanson. Tes élèves expriment leurs émotions, ils nous donnent des frissons quand on les regarde danser. Tu es une professeure super talentueuse, tes chorégraphies me donnent envie de travailler encore plus dur, j'espère pouvoir m'inscrire pour l'année prochaine, cela dépend du trajet. Bravo en tout cas.
