가네요 점점 작아지네요
가네요
그댈 좀 더 보고 싶은데
좀 더 기억하고 싶은데
자꾸 번져 가네요
널 사랑해
웃으면서 보낼 수가 없어 미안해
뒤돌아 봐 줄 수 없겠니
사랑하니까 하루라도 멀어질 수 없어
내 맘을 알잖아
제발 돌아봐줘요 제발
아나요
눈물 흘리는 날 아나요
그냥 서있는 걸 아나요
내 모습이 이래요
널 사랑해
소리쳐서 불러보고 싶어 사랑해
웃으면서 보낼 수가 없어 미안해
뒤돌아 봐 줄 수 없겠니
사랑하니까 하루라도 멀어질 수 없어
내 맘을 알잖아
제발 돌아봐줘요 제발
다신 내게 죽을 만큼 아픈것 조차
지금 난 느낄 수도 없어
오직 돌아보기만 바래 yeah
기다릴게
이자리에 멈춘 채로 널 기다릴게
한걸음도 움직이지 않고
너만을 기억하고 또 기억할게
사랑하니까 한 순간도 잊지 않을꺼야
내 맘을 알잖아
제발 돌아봐줘요 제발
다시 내게
These lyrics are from the song "Tears" by The Chameleons U.K. The song is about a man who meets his ex-girlfriend's new partner, who is confident and assertive like a red ruby. The man had asked the new partner not to meet him again in the past, but she declared that she loves the man more than the ex-girlfriend ever did. The man realizes that he cannot cry and decides to leave the ex-girlfriend for the new partner, even though it is painful. He believes that he will wait for her to come back to him in the future if she ever decides to leave him.
The song portrays a complicated emotional state of the man, who is torn between his past and present love. He is hurt and struggling to make a decision about what he really wants. The chorus of the song repeating "I can't cry" shows the singer's numbness during the time of decision-making.
The lyrics are poetic and paint vivid imagery for the listener. The use of colours, such as "red ruby," and the metaphor of "traveling" to convey the emotion of waiting for the woman to come back gives a deeper meaning and makes the song more relatable to the listeners.

오늘 그녀를 만났어
Today, I met her
너의 새로운 여자를
Your new girl
다신 만나지 말라고
I asked you to never meet me again
부탁했었어
I requested
빨간 루비처럼 그녀는
She was like a red ruby
내게 자신 있는 말투로
She confidently said to me
너를 나보다 더 사랑한다 말했어
That she loves you more than she loves me
I can't cry (I can't cry)
I cannot cry
I can't cry
I cannot cry
그래 널 보내주겠어
Yes, I'll send you away
그 무엇도 바라지 않아
I don't ask for anything
나를 위해 힘겹게 널
It's harder for me
내 곁에 두는 것보다
To keep you by my side
널 위해서 내가 떠날게
So I will leave for you
많이 아프고 힘들지만
It hurts and it's tough
나보다 그녀가 더 좋다면
If she's better than me
니 곁에서 이제 없어져 줄게
I'll disappear from your side now
먼 훗날 혼자가 되면
If someday I'm alone
나에게 그때 나에게
To myself at that time
돌아올 수 있겠니
Can you come back?
너를 기다릴 거야
I'll wait for you
잠시 넌 저 먼 곳으로
You left to a faraway place for a moment
여행을 떠난 거야
You went on a trip
나에게 돌아올 그 날을 기다리며
While waiting for the day you'll come back to me
솔직히 나의 바램은
To be honest, my wish is
널 영원히 붙잡고 싶어
To hold onto you forever
언제든 다시 돌아와
Whenever you want, come back
난 여전히 너의 여자야
I'm still your girl

It's just coincidence
Well, You can talk that way
But I have to say I don't believe in it
It was a chill of chance I decided to dance the days away
And I wasn't worried at all
Sneaking through the back door
No I wasn't worried at all
Dreams are what you live for
Waiting for the light to turn green
Carry me home, to the kindest eyes that I've ever seen
Carry Me home
Well, can you tell me how will it be now, how will it be?
Can you tell me how will it be now, how will it be?
We were younger then and the days were long and slow
But were we wiser then?
I couldn't say I wouldn't know
But I wasn't worried at all
I had someone to run to
And I wasn't worried at all
I knew which way the wind blew
Counting out the chaos and gloom
Carry me home and I watched the ceiling spin 'round the room Carry me home
Well, can you tell me how will it be now, how will it be?
Can you tell me how will it be now, how will it be?
In the real world how would it be?
In the cold world how would it be?
In the lonely world how would it be?
Will the ghosts just stop
following me?
No, now drawn into the sun
He was the only one
In the real world how would it be?
In the cold, cold world how would it be?
Beck and call, Beg and crawl
how would it be?
Will the ghosts just stop
following me?
No, now drawn into the sun
He was the only one
And so I'll remember you
I'll remember the days and the thousands of ways
You pulled me through
And dream of all the things you've seen
Of all the faces and all the places
You have been
Now you have no phone and you have no name
And you have no number
And it comes to an end in the blink of an eye
And it makes me wonder

Will the ghosts just stop following me?
Oh, now drawn to the sun
He was the only one
He calls out to everyone
For his only son
From the window of my room
I can see the colored moon now
Haunting the look in my eyes now, what will you see?
If you could look into my eyes now, what would you see?
What would you see?
Just coincidence
You can talk that way
It's just coincidence
Well you can talk that way
Don't believe him
Don't believe him
@theegyptianfringe8074
One of the greatest songs ever recorded. One of my all time favourite bands. First time i saw them was with mates who travelled up from Brum to Manchester in 86. Soundtrack to my life.
@whwh7339
Such wondrous, pure songwriting. Hands down the most underrated band I’ve ever encountered.
@lynneearnshaw8867
One of the purest most perfect songs of my youth ❤
@maureensaul8417
Absolutely. We are so fortunate to know of them Wonderful 🎶
@ablesister
musical perfection and breaks my heart every time. i wish i could be this song and not myself
@perpetual61
One of The Prettiest Songs from the 80's. Gems like these shouldn't never be forgotten or Ignored.
@marbleblue5127
One of the greatest post-punk songs that the world doesn't know
@PomskieSaints91
One of the best songs of all time.
@micycledalgleish2005
The Chameleons UK, after 40 years of music fandom, are sitting as #1 on my lifelong list of best bands. Practically brings me to tears how powerful this was back in the day and how it helped me survive uncertain times. I would fall asleep wearing headphones listening to this.......better than any other drug I did.
@Mr.NewWave1998
Music/Art is the best drug says a melancholic 24 year old I can't count the times I've listened to this (Gem) nor can I count the times I've listen to this while falling asleep wearing headphones on my bed....
