The Ballad
Alex James, Damon Albarn, David Rowntree, Graham Coxon
I just looked into my life
And all I saw was that you're not coming back
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
It comes like me?
But I won't be afraid
I can't seem to find you in this midnight parade
I know it's all true
When the ballad comes for me, it comes like you
Up close
I fell in love with you (I met you at an early show)
You fall and
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
I just looked out to the point
Where the words, they are hitting me
In a full-on assault
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
It comes like me?
Well, I know I can't change the times
I know I'm already breaking when I look into your eyes
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
It comes like me?
Up close
I fell in love with you (I met you an early show)
You fall
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
I just looked into my life
Je viens de regarder dans ma vie
And all I saw was that you're not coming back
Et tout ce que j'ai vu, c'est que tu ne reviens pas
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, ne vois-tu pas quand la ballade vient pour toi
It comes like me?
Elle vient comme moi ?
But I won't be afraid
Mais je n'aurai pas peur
I can't seem to find you in this midnight parade
Je ne semble pas te trouver dans ce défilé de minuit
I know it's all true
Je sais que tout est vrai
When the ballad comes for me, it comes like you
Quand la ballade vient pour moi, elle vient comme toi
Up close
De près
I fell in love with you (I met you at an early show)
Je suis tombé amoureux de toi (Je t'ai rencontré à un spectacle précoce)
You fall and
Tu tombes et
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
Je tomberai avec toi (nous avons voyagé autour du monde ensemble)
I just looked out to the point
Je viens de regarder jusqu'au point
Where the words, they are hitting me
Où les mots, ils me frappent
In a full-on assault
Dans une attaque frontale
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, ne vois-tu pas quand la ballade vient pour toi
It comes like me?
Elle vient comme moi ?
Well, I know I can't change the times
Eh bien, je sais que je ne peux pas changer les temps
I know I'm already breaking when I look into your eyes
Je sais que je suis déjà en train de craquer quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, ne vois-tu pas quand la ballade vient pour toi
It comes like me?
Elle vient comme moi ?
Up close
De près
I fell in love with you (I met you an early show)
Je suis tombé amoureux de toi (Je t'ai rencontré à un spectacle précoce)
You fall
Tu tombes
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
Je tomberai avec toi (nous avons voyagé autour du monde ensemble)
I just looked into my life
Acabei de olhar para a minha vida
And all I saw was that you're not coming back
E tudo que vi foi que você não está voltando
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, você não consegue ver quando a balada vem para você
It comes like me?
Ela vem como eu?
But I won't be afraid
Mas eu não vou ter medo
I can't seem to find you in this midnight parade
Não consigo te encontrar nesse desfile de meia-noite
I know it's all true
Eu sei que é tudo verdade
When the ballad comes for me, it comes like you
Quando a balada vem para mim, ela vem como você
Up close
De perto
I fell in love with you (I met you at an early show)
Eu me apaixonei por você (te conheci em um show cedo)
You fall and
Você cai e
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
Eu cairei junto com você (nós viajamos pelo mundo juntos)
I just looked out to the point
Acabei de olhar para o ponto
Where the words, they are hitting me
Onde as palavras, elas estão me atingindo
In a full-on assault
Em um ataque total
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, você não consegue ver quando a balada vem para você
It comes like me?
Ela vem como eu?
Well, I know I can't change the times
Bem, eu sei que não posso mudar os tempos
I know I'm already breaking when I look into your eyes
Eu sei que já estou quebrando quando olho nos seus olhos
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, você não consegue ver quando a balada vem para você
It comes like me?
Ela vem como eu?
Up close
De perto
I fell in love with you (I met you an early show)
Eu me apaixonei por você (te conheci em um show cedo)
You fall
Você cai
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
Eu cairei junto com você (nós viajamos pelo mundo juntos)
I just looked into my life
Acabo de mirar en mi vida
And all I saw was that you're not coming back
Y todo lo que vi fue que no vas a volver
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, ¿no puedes ver cuando la balada viene por ti?
It comes like me?
¿Viene como yo?
But I won't be afraid
Pero no tendré miedo
I can't seem to find you in this midnight parade
No parece que pueda encontrarte en este desfile de medianoche
I know it's all true
Sé que todo es cierto
When the ballad comes for me, it comes like you
Cuando la balada viene por mí, viene como tú
Up close
De cerca
I fell in love with you (I met you at an early show)
Me enamoré de ti (te conocí en un show temprano)
You fall and
Tú caes y
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
Yo caeré contigo (viajamos por el mundo juntos)
I just looked out to the point
Acabo de mirar hacia el punto
Where the words, they are hitting me
Donde las palabras, me están golpeando
In a full-on assault
En un asalto total
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, ¿no puedes ver cuando la balada viene por ti?
It comes like me?
¿Viene como yo?
Well, I know I can't change the times
Bueno, sé que no puedo cambiar los tiempos
I know I'm already breaking when I look into your eyes
Sé que ya estoy rompiendo cuando miro en tus ojos
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, ¿no puedes ver cuando la balada viene por ti?
It comes like me?
¿Viene como yo?
Up close
De cerca
I fell in love with you (I met you an early show)
Me enamoré de ti (te conocí en un show temprano)
You fall
Tú caes
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
Yo caeré contigo (viajamos por el mundo juntos)
I just looked into my life
Ich habe gerade in mein Leben geschaut
And all I saw was that you're not coming back
Und alles, was ich sah, war, dass du nicht zurückkommst
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, kannst du nicht sehen, wenn die Ballade für dich kommt
It comes like me?
Kommt sie wie ich?
But I won't be afraid
Aber ich werde keine Angst haben
I can't seem to find you in this midnight parade
Ich kann dich in dieser Mitternachtsparade nicht zu finden scheinen
I know it's all true
Ich weiß, es ist alles wahr
When the ballad comes for me, it comes like you
Wenn die Ballade für mich kommt, kommt sie wie du
Up close
Aus der Nähe
I fell in love with you (I met you at an early show)
Ich habe mich in dich verliebt (Ich habe dich bei einer frühen Show getroffen)
You fall and
Du fällst und
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
Ich werde mit dir fallen (wir sind zusammen um die Welt gereist)
I just looked out to the point
Ich habe gerade auf den Punkt geschaut
Where the words, they are hitting me
Wo die Worte mich treffen
In a full-on assault
In einem vollständigen Angriff
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, kannst du nicht sehen, wenn die Ballade für dich kommt
It comes like me?
Kommt sie wie ich?
Well, I know I can't change the times
Nun, ich weiß, ich kann die Zeiten nicht ändern
I know I'm already breaking when I look into your eyes
Ich weiß, ich breche bereits, wenn ich in deine Augen schaue
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, kannst du nicht sehen, wenn die Ballade für dich kommt
It comes like me?
Kommt sie wie ich?
Up close
Aus der Nähe
I fell in love with you (I met you an early show)
Ich habe mich in dich verliebt (Ich habe dich bei einer frühen Show getroffen)
You fall
Du fällst
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
Ich werde mit dir fallen (wir sind zusammen um die Welt gereist)
I just looked into my life
Ho appena guardato nella mia vita
And all I saw was that you're not coming back
E tutto quello che ho visto è che non stai tornando
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, non riesci a vedere quando la ballata viene per te
It comes like me?
Viene come me?
But I won't be afraid
Ma non avrò paura
I can't seem to find you in this midnight parade
Non riesco a trovarti in questa parata di mezzanotte
I know it's all true
So che è tutto vero
When the ballad comes for me, it comes like you
Quando la ballata viene per me, viene come te
Up close
Da vicino
I fell in love with you (I met you at an early show)
Mi sono innamorato di te (ti ho incontrato a uno spettacolo presto)
You fall and
Tu cadi e
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
Cadrò insieme a te (abbiamo viaggiato per il mondo insieme)
I just looked out to the point
Ho appena guardato fino al punto
Where the words, they are hitting me
Dove le parole, mi stanno colpendo
In a full-on assault
In un assalto totale
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, non riesci a vedere quando la ballata viene per te
It comes like me?
Viene come me?
Well, I know I can't change the times
Beh, so che non posso cambiare i tempi
I know I'm already breaking when I look into your eyes
So che sto già spezzando quando guardo nei tuoi occhi
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Oh, non riesci a vedere quando la ballata viene per te
It comes like me?
Viene come me?
Up close
Da vicino
I fell in love with you (I met you an early show)
Mi sono innamorato di te (ti ho incontrato a uno spettacolo presto)
You fall
Tu cadi
I'll fall along with you (we travelled 'round the world together)
Cadrò insieme a te (abbiamo viaggiato per il mondo insieme)
