Boomerang
Scherzinger Nicole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world spit me out and I was spinning around
Lost in a free fall
Forever going down, and breakin' through the ground
When I thought I reached the end, I start to fall again

But I was taught
To never surrender
When it's hard to get up
Gonna fight till I can stand and say

Oh, you can turn me down, you can throw me now
The harder out, the harder I come back around
You can break my heart but you can't scratch my name
I can take the hit 'cause I'm a boomerang
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa I'm a boomerang
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa I'm a boomerang

Now I'm 10 feet tall, all my problems feel so small
Nothing in my way to make me change
No ceiling to my sky, just open space to fly
Every time I'm feeling down, I turn it back around

But I was taught
To never surrender
When it's hard to get up
Gonna fight till I can stand and say

Oh, you can turn me down, you can throw me now
The harder out, the harder I come back around
You can break my heart but you can't scratch my name
I can take the hit 'cause I'm a boomerang
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa I'm a boomerang
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa I'm a boomerang

Even though I'm flying high
The sky can change one day
I can hit some turbulence, but who I am is never gonna change
'Cause I'm a boomerang
'Cause I'm a boomerang
'Cause I'm a boomerang

Oh, you can turn me down, you can throw me now
The harder out, the harder I come back around
You can break my heart but you can't scratch my name
I can take the hit 'cause I'm a boomerang




Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa I'm a boomerang
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa I'm a boomerang (boomerang)

Thế giới nhổ tôi ra và tôi quay cuồng
The world spit me out and I was spinning around

Mất tích khi rơi tự do
Lost in a free fall

Mãi mãi đi xuống
Forever going down

Và phá vỡ mặt đất
And breakin' through the ground

Khi tôi nghĩ rằng tôi đã đi đến cuối
When I thought I reached the end

Tôi lại bắt đầu gục ngã
I start to fall again
Nhưng tôi được dạy là không bao giờ đầu hàng
But I was taught to never surrender

Khi khó đứng dậy
When it's hard to get up

Sẽ chiến đấu cho đến khi tôi có thể đứng vững và nói...
Gonna fight till I can stand and say...
Oh, bạn có thể từ chối tôi, bạn có thể ném tôi bây giờ
Oh, you can turn me down, you can throw me now

Càng khó ra ngoài, tôi càng khó quay trở lại
The harder out, the harder I come back around

Bạn có thể làm tan nát trái tim tôi nhưng bạn không thể cào tên tôi
You can break my heart but you can't scratch my name

Tôi có thể chịu đòn, vì tôi là boomerang
I can take the hit, 'cause I'm a boomerang
Ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Tôi là một chiếc boomerang...
I'm a boomerang...

Ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Tôi là một chiếc boomerang...
I'm a boomerang...
Bây giờ tôi cao 10 feet, mọi vấn đề của tôi cảm thấy thật nhỏ bé
Now I'm 10 feet tall, all my problems feel so small

Không có gì trong cách của tôi để làm cho tôi thay đổi
Nothing in my way to make me change

Không có trần cho bầu trời của tôi, chỉ có không gian rộng mở để bay
No ceiling to my sky, just open space to fly

Mỗi khi tôi cảm thấy thất vọng, tôi quay lại
Every time I'm feeling down, I turn it back around
Nhưng tôi được dạy là không bao giờ đầu hàng
But I was taught to never surrender

Khi khó đứng dậy
When it's hard to get up

Sẽ chiến đấu cho đến khi tôi có thể đứng vững và nói...
Gonna fight till I can stand and say...
Oh, bạn có thể từ chối tôi, bạn có thể ném tôi bây giờ
Oh, you can turn me down, you can throw me now

Càng khó ra ngoài, tôi càng khó quay trở lại
The harder out, the harder I come back around

Bạn có thể làm tan nát trái tim tôi nhưng bạn không thể cào tên tôi
You can break my heart but you can't scratch my name

Tôi có thể chịu đòn, vì tôi là boomerang
I can take the hit, 'cause I'm a boomerang
Ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Tôi là một chiếc boomerang...
I'm a boomerang...

Ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Tôi là một chiếc boomerang...
I'm a boomerang...
Dù tôi đang bay cao, bầu trời có thể thay đổi vào một ngày nào đó
Even though I'm flying high, the sky can change one day

Tôi có thể gặp sóng gió, nhưng con người tôi sẽ không bao giờ thay đổi, vì tôi là boomerang
I could hit some turbulence, but who I am is never gonna change, 'cause I'm a boomerang

Vì tôi là boomerang...
'Cause I'm a boomerang...

Vì tôi là boomerang...
'Cause I'm a boomerang...
Oh, bạn có thể từ chối tôi, bạn có thể ném tôi bây giờ
Oh, you can turn me down, you can throw me now

Càng khó ra ngoài, tôi càng khó quay trở lại
The harder out, the harder I come back around

Bạn có thể làm tan nát trái tim tôi nhưng bạn không thể cào tên tôi
You can break my heart but you can't scratch my name

Tôi có thể chịu đòn, vì tôi là boomerang
I can take the hit, 'cause I'm a boomerang
Ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Tôi là một chiếc boomerang...
I'm a boomerang...

Ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ, ồ
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Tôi là một chiếc boomerang...
I'm a boomerang...
