Take Me to the River

Lyrics Translation

I'd like to dedicate this song to little Junior Parker
A cousin of mine who's gone on, but we'd like to kinda carry on in his name
I sing

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Hey, hey
Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground

I don't know why she treated me so bad
After all the things that we could have had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret

I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Hold me, love me, please me, tease me
'Til I can't, 'til I can't take no more
Take me to the river

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the things that you put me through
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know
Oh, won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?

I wanna know
Take me to the river
I wanna know
I want you to dip me in the water
I wanna know
Won't you wash me in the water
Wash me in the water
Wash me in the water
Won't you wash me in the water
Feeling good

I'd like to dedicate this song to little Junior Parker
Gostaria de dedicar esta música ao pequeno Junior Parker
A cousin of mine who's gone on, but we'd like to kinda carry on in his name
Um primo meu que se foi, mas gostaríamos de continuar em seu nome
I sing
Eu canto
I don't know why I love you like I do
Não sei por que te amo como eu amo
After all the changes that you put me through
Depois de todas as mudanças que você me fez passar
You stole my money and my cigarettes
Você roubou meu dinheiro e meus cigarros
And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet
E eu ainda não vi nem sinal de você
I wanna know
Eu quero saber
Won't you tell me
Você não vai me dizer
Am I in love to stay?
Estou apaixonado para ficar?
Hey, hey
Ei, ei
Take me to the river
Leve-me ao rio
And wash me down
E me lave
Won't you cleanse my soul
Você não vai limpar minha alma
Put my feet on the ground
Coloque meus pés no chão
I don't know why she treated me so bad
Não sei por que ela me tratou tão mal
After all the things that we could have had
Depois de todas as coisas que poderíamos ter tido
Love is a notion that I can't forget
Amor é uma noção que não consigo esquecer
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
Meus doces dezesseis nunca vou me arrepender
I wanna know
Eu quero saber
Won't you tell me
Você não vai me dizer
Am I in love to stay?
Estou apaixonado para ficar?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sim sim sim sim sim
Hold me, love me, please me, tease me
Segure-me, ame-me, agrade-me, provoque-me
'Til I can't, 'til I can't take no more
Até que eu não possa, até que eu não aguente mais
Take me to the river
Leve-me ao rio
I don't know why I love you like I do
Não sei por que te amo como eu amo
After all the things that you put me through
Depois de todas as coisas que você me fez passar
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
As dezesseis velas queimando na minha parede
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all
Transformando-me no maior tolo de todos
I wanna know
Eu quero saber
Oh, won't you tell me
Oh, você não vai me dizer
Am I in love to stay?
Estou apaixonado para ficar?
I wanna know
Eu quero saber
Take me to the river
Leve-me ao rio
I wanna know
Eu quero saber
I want you to dip me in the water
Eu quero que você me mergulhe na água
I wanna know
Eu quero saber
Won't you wash me in the water
Você não vai me lavar na água
Wash me in the water
Lave-me na água
Wash me in the water
Lave-me na água
Won't you wash me in the water
Você não vai me lavar na água
Feeling good
Sentindo-me bem

Take me to the river
Llévame al río
I don't know why I love you like I do
No sé por qué te quiero como lo hago
After all the things that you put me through
Después de todas las cosas que me has hecho pasar
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
Las dieciséis velas ardiendo en mi pared
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all
Convirtiéndome en el mayor tonto de todos

Wash me in the water
Lávame en el agua

Take me to the river
Portami al fiume
I don't know why I love you like I do
Non so perché ti amo come faccio
After all the things that you put me through
Dopo tutte le cose che mi hai fatto passare
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
Le sedici candele che bruciano sulla mia parete
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all
Trasformandomi nel più grande sciocco di tutti
