You Hate Me
W. Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hate you
I need you
I hate you

야 두려워하지 마
야 뒤돌아보지 마
야 시간은 계속 가니까
야 멈춰 있지는 마
누가 뭐라 하건 달라질 건 없어 never give up
그딴 소리 집어치워 그 단어 지워

가슴에 수없이 비수를 꽂았네
내 머리는 수백 번을 더 핑 도네
다 아는 척 맞는 척 꿈 안엔 답 없어
이래라저래라 진심 안에 속이 없는 걱정
자기 손으로 가리기 전엔 아직 끝난 게 아니야

I hate you, I need you
내 세상은 어두워서
결국 내 빛으로 물들여

I hate you, I need you
기쁨과 슬픔이여
You always in my mind
You always in my mind

날 날 내버려 둬
I'm on my way 날 놔둬
날 날 내버려 둬
속이 시끄러워 날 놔둬
날 날 내버려 둬
I'm on my way 날 놔둬
날 날 내버려 둬
속이 시끄러워 날 놔둬

갈 길을 잃어 방황과 좌절
그때 찾아오는 수없는 상처
독이 될지 빛이 될지 몰라 불안함
이곳저곳에서 죄어오는 부담감

야야 나는 조금 느릴 뿐 다르지 않아
다다 보는 법이 다를 뿐 틀리지 않아
몇 번의 계절 지나 돌아간다
해도 무너지지 않아 (무너지지 않아)

누가 뭐라 하건 후회 따윈 없어
뭐가 있든 간에 부딪혀 넘어 저걸
판단하지 마 판단하지 마
아직 끝난 게 아니야

I hate you, I need you
내 세상은 어두워서
결국 내 빛으로 물들여

I hate you, I need you
기쁨과 슬픔이여
You always in my mind
You always in my mind

날 날 내버려 둬
I'm on my way 날 놔둬
날 날 내버려 둬
속이 시끄러워 날 놔둬
날 날 내버려 둬
I'm on my way 날 놔둬




날 날 내버려 둬
속이 시끄러워 날 놔둬

One of the best songs ever by one of the last living outlaws. I pray for Willie regularly. Life is rolling downhill like a snowball headed for Hell. So grateful I'm old enough to remember a more pure freedom than the younger generation will ever realize.

I bought the red headed stranger album on an 8 track back in the early seventies. Now i have a cd of it. One of my favorites back then ,and still is today. There isn't another guitar on the planet that sounds like trigger. Or another Willie, He is a true Treasure to music..

Frog Price

I've been a fan since my cradle. Never a bad show or song. The nicest guy in the business.
I truly appreciate this song about us, red headed strangers.

Daniel Hancock

Willie makes me proud to be a Texan

Water life.

Make me proud to be a human. He saved humanity with his music. Otherwise we are crap to the aliens. They are like " what is this lame computer generated crap. The computer is like our 1000 year old calculator.". Thank God for Willie. And Waylon. Keith Whitley, Neil Diamond (I mean c'mon man) Autograph (for the neighbors) you know.... real music.

Frank Tonnemaker

Pure, classic Willie.
