Expecting to Fly
Neil Young
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Expecting to fly
While I laughed I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye
Knowin' that you'd gone
By the summer it was healing
We had said goodbye
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry
Babe, ended with a cry
Babe, ended with a cry
I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found
Knowin' it was gone
If I ever lived without you
Now you know I'd die
If I ever said I loved you
Now you know I'd try
Babe, now you know I'd try
Babe, now you know I'd try
Babe
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Là tu te tenais au bord de ta plume
Expecting to fly
T'attendant à voler
While I laughed I wondered whether
Alors que je riais, je me demandais si
I could wave goodbye
Je pouvais dire au revoir
Knowin' that you'd gone
Sachant que tu étais parti
By the summer it was healing
Par l'été, c'était en train de guérir
We had said goodbye
Nous avions dit au revoir
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Toutes les années que nous avions passées avec sentiment
Ended with a cry
Se sont terminées par un cri
Babe, ended with a cry
Chérie, se sont terminées par un cri
Babe, ended with a cry
Chérie, se sont terminées par un cri
I tried so hard to stand
J'ai tellement essayé de tenir debout
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
Alors que je trébuchais et tombais par terre
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
Si difficile de rire alors que je tâtonnais
And reached for the love I found
Et cherchais l'amour que j'avais trouvé
Knowin' it was gone
Sachant qu'il était parti
If I ever lived without you
Si j'ai jamais vécu sans toi
Now you know I'd die
Maintenant tu sais que je mourrais
If I ever said I loved you
Si j'ai jamais dit que je t'aimais
Now you know I'd try
Maintenant tu sais que j'essaierais
Babe, now you know I'd try
Chérie, maintenant tu sais que j'essaierais
Babe, now you know I'd try
Chérie, maintenant tu sais que j'essaierais
Babe
Chérie
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Lá você estava na beira da sua pena
Expecting to fly
Esperando voar
While I laughed I wondered whether
Enquanto eu ria, me perguntava se
I could wave goodbye
Eu poderia dizer adeus
Knowin' that you'd gone
Sabendo que você se foi
By the summer it was healing
No verão estava curando
We had said goodbye
Nós tínhamos dito adeus
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Todos os anos que passamos com sentimento
Ended with a cry
Terminaram com um choro
Babe, ended with a cry
Querida, terminou com um choro
Babe, ended with a cry
Querida, terminou com um choro
I tried so hard to stand
Eu tentei tão duro ficar de pé
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
Enquanto eu tropeçava e caía no chão
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
Tão difícil rir enquanto eu atrapalhava
And reached for the love I found
E buscava o amor que encontrei
Knowin' it was gone
Sabendo que ele se foi
If I ever lived without you
Se eu já vivi sem você
Now you know I'd die
Agora você sabe que eu morreria
If I ever said I loved you
Se eu já disse que te amava
Now you know I'd try
Agora você sabe que eu tentaria
Babe, now you know I'd try
Querida, agora você sabe que eu tentaria
Babe, now you know I'd try
Querida, agora você sabe que eu tentaria
Babe
Querida
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Allí te encontrabas al borde de tu pluma
Expecting to fly
Esperando volar
While I laughed I wondered whether
Mientras yo reía me preguntaba si
I could wave goodbye
Podría decir adiós
Knowin' that you'd gone
Sabiendo que te habías ido
By the summer it was healing
Para el verano estaba sanando
We had said goodbye
Nos habíamos despedido
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Todos los años que pasamos con sentimiento
Ended with a cry
Terminaron con un llanto
Babe, ended with a cry
Cariño, terminaron con un llanto
Babe, ended with a cry
Cariño, terminaron con un llanto
I tried so hard to stand
Intenté tan duro mantenerme en pie
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
Mientras tropezaba y caía al suelo
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
Tan difícil reír mientras balbuceaba
And reached for the love I found
Y buscaba el amor que encontré
Knowin' it was gone
Sabiendo que se había ido
If I ever lived without you
Si alguna vez viví sin ti
Now you know I'd die
Ahora sabes que moriría
If I ever said I loved you
Si alguna vez dije que te amaba
Now you know I'd try
Ahora sabes que lo intentaría
Babe, now you know I'd try
Cariño, ahora sabes que lo intentaría
Babe, now you know I'd try
Cariño, ahora sabes que lo intentaría
Babe
Cariño
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Dort standest du am Rand deiner Feder
Expecting to fly
Erwartend zu fliegen
While I laughed I wondered whether
Während ich lachte, fragte ich mich,
I could wave goodbye
Ob ich mich verabschieden könnte
Knowin' that you'd gone
Wissend, dass du gegangen warst
By the summer it was healing
Im Sommer war es heilend
We had said goodbye
Wir hatten uns verabschiedet
All the years we'd spent with feeling
All die Jahre, die wir mit Gefühl verbracht hatten
Ended with a cry
Endeten mit einem Schrei
Babe, ended with a cry
Schatz, endeten mit einem Schrei
Babe, ended with a cry
Schatz, endeten mit einem Schrei
I tried so hard to stand
Ich habe so hart versucht zu stehen
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
Als ich stolperte und zu Boden fiel
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
So schwer zu lachen, als ich fummelte
And reached for the love I found
Und nach der Liebe griff, die ich gefunden hatte
Knowin' it was gone
Wissend, dass sie weg war
If I ever lived without you
Wenn ich jemals ohne dich gelebt hätte
Now you know I'd die
Jetzt weißt du, ich würde sterben
If I ever said I loved you
Wenn ich jemals gesagt hätte, ich liebe dich
Now you know I'd try
Jetzt weißt du, ich würde es versuchen
Babe, now you know I'd try
Schatz, jetzt weißt du, ich würde es versuchen
Babe, now you know I'd try
Schatz, jetzt weißt du, ich würde es versuchen
Babe
Schatz
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Lì ti trovavi sul bordo della tua piuma
Expecting to fly
Aspettandoti di volare
While I laughed I wondered whether
Mentre ridevo mi chiedevo se
I could wave goodbye
Potessi dire addio
Knowin' that you'd gone
Sapendo che te ne eri andato
By the summer it was healing
Dall'estate stava guarendo
We had said goodbye
Ci eravamo detti addio
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Tutti gli anni che avevamo passato con sentimento
Ended with a cry
Finiti con un pianto
Babe, ended with a cry
Amore, finiti con un pianto
Babe, ended with a cry
Amore, finiti con un pianto
I tried so hard to stand
Ho provato così tanto a stare in piedi
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
Mentre inciampavo e cadevo a terra
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
Così difficile ridere mentre barcollavo
And reached for the love I found
E cercavo l'amore che avevo trovato
Knowin' it was gone
Sapendo che era finito
If I ever lived without you
Se mai avessi vissuto senza di te
Now you know I'd die
Ora sai che morirei
If I ever said I loved you
Se mai avessi detto che ti amavo
Now you know I'd try
Ora sai che ci proverei
Babe, now you know I'd try
Amore, ora sai che ci proverei
Babe, now you know I'd try
Amore, ora sai che ci proverei
Babe
Amore
