I Know Him So Well

Tim Rice, Benny Goran Bror Andersson, Bjoern K. Ulvaeus

Lyrics Translation

Nothing it so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long

Looking back, I could have played it differently
Learned about the man before I fell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?
(Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine?
(Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness?
He can't be mine
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
(More security)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
I know him so well

No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between him is too much

Looking back I could have played it differently
One or a few more who can tell
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?
(Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine?
(Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness?
He can't be mine

Didn't I know
How it would go from the start if I knew
Why am I falling apart?

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't it fine?
Isn't it madness?
He can't be mine
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
(More security)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
I know him so well

It took time to understand him
I know him so well

Nothing it so good it lasts eternally
Nada é tão bom que dure eternamente
Perfect situations must go wrong
Situações perfeitas devem dar errado
But this has never yet prevented me
Mas isso nunca me impediu
Wanting far too much for far too long
De querer muito mais por muito tempo
Looking back, I could have played it differently
Olhando para trás, eu poderia ter jogado de maneira diferente
Learned about the man before I fell
Aprendido sobre o homem antes de me apaixonar
But it took time to understand the man
Mas levou tempo para entender o homem
Now at least I know I know him well
Agora, pelo menos, sei que o conheço bem
Wasn't it good?
Não foi bom?
(Oh so good)
(Oh tão bom)
Wasn't he fine?
Ele não era ótimo?
(Oh so fine)
(Oh tão ótimo)
Isn't it madness?
Não é loucura?
He can't be mine
Ele não pode ser meu
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
Mas no final ele precisa de um pouco mais do que eu
(More security)
(Mais segurança)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
Ele precisa de suas fantasias e liberdade
I know him so well
Eu o conheço tão bem
No one in your life is with you constantly
Ninguém na sua vida está com você constantemente
No one is completely on your side
Ninguém está completamente do seu lado
And though I move my world to be with him
E embora eu mova meu mundo para estar com ele
Still the gap between him is too much
Ainda assim, a distância entre nós é muito grande
Looking back I could have played it differently
Olhando para trás, eu poderia ter jogado de maneira diferente
One or a few more who can tell
Um ou alguns mais, quem pode dizer
But I was ever so much younger then
Mas eu era muito mais jovem então
Now at least I know I know him well
Agora, pelo menos, sei que o conheço bem
Wasn't it good?
Não foi bom?
(Oh so good)
(Oh tão bom)
Wasn't he fine?
Ele não era ótimo?
(Oh so fine)
(Oh tão ótimo)
Isn't it madness?
Não é loucura?
He can't be mine
Ele não pode ser meu
Didn't I know
Eu não sabia
How it would go from the start if I knew
Como seria desde o início se eu soubesse
Why am I falling apart?
Por que estou me despedaçando?
Wasn't it good?
Não foi bom?
Wasn't it fine?
Não foi ótimo?
Isn't it madness?
Não é loucura?
He can't be mine
Ele não pode ser meu
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
Mas no final ele precisa de um pouco mais do que eu
(More security)
(Mais segurança)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
Ele precisa de suas fantasias e liberdade
I know him so well
Eu o conheço tão bem
It took time to understand him
Levou tempo para entendê-lo
I know him so well
Eu o conheço tão bem
Nothing it so good it lasts eternally
Nada es tan bueno que dure eternamente
Perfect situations must go wrong
Las situaciones perfectas deben salir mal
But this has never yet prevented me
Pero esto nunca me ha impedido
Wanting far too much for far too long
Desear demasiado durante demasiado tiempo
Looking back, I could have played it differently
Mirando atrás, podría haberlo jugado de manera diferente
Learned about the man before I fell
Aprendí sobre el hombre antes de caer
But it took time to understand the man
Pero tomó tiempo entender al hombre
Now at least I know I know him well
Ahora al menos sé que lo conozco bien
Wasn't it good?
¿No fue bueno?
(Oh so good)
(Oh tan bueno)
Wasn't he fine?
¿No fue él bien?
(Oh so fine)
(Oh tan bien)
Isn't it madness?
¿No es una locura?
He can't be mine
Él no puede ser mío
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
Pero al final necesita un poco más que yo
(More security)
(Más seguridad)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
Necesita sus fantasías y libertad
I know him so well
Lo conozco tan bien
No one in your life is with you constantly
Nadie en tu vida está contigo constantemente
No one is completely on your side
Nadie está completamente de tu lado
And though I move my world to be with him
Y aunque muevo mi mundo para estar con él
Still the gap between him is too much
Aún la brecha entre él es demasiado grande
Looking back I could have played it differently
Mirando atrás, podría haberlo jugado de manera diferente
One or a few more who can tell
Uno o unos pocos más, ¿quién puede decirlo?
But I was ever so much younger then
Pero era mucho más joven entonces
Now at least I know I know him well
Ahora al menos sé que lo conozco bien
Wasn't it good?
¿No fue bueno?
(Oh so good)
(Oh tan bueno)
Wasn't he fine?
¿No fue él bien?
(Oh so fine)
(Oh tan bien)
Isn't it madness?
¿No es una locura?
He can't be mine
Él no puede ser mío
Didn't I know
¿No lo sabía?
How it would go from the start if I knew
¿Cómo iría desde el principio si lo supiera?
Why am I falling apart?
¿Por qué me estoy desmoronando?
Wasn't it good?
¿No fue bueno?
Wasn't it fine?
¿No fue bien?
Isn't it madness?
¿No es una locura?
He can't be mine
Él no puede ser mío
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
Pero al final necesita un poco más que yo
(More security)
(Más seguridad)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
Necesita sus fantasías y libertad
I know him so well
Lo conozco tan bien
It took time to understand him
Tomó tiempo entenderlo
I know him so well
Lo conozco tan bien
Nothing it so good it lasts eternally
Rien n'est si bon qu'il dure éternellement
Perfect situations must go wrong
Les situations parfaites doivent mal tourner
But this has never yet prevented me
Mais cela ne m'a jamais empêché
Wanting far too much for far too long
De vouloir beaucoup trop pendant beaucoup trop longtemps
Looking back, I could have played it differently
En regardant en arrière, j'aurais pu jouer différemment
Learned about the man before I fell
Apprendre à connaître l'homme avant de tomber amoureuse
But it took time to understand the man
Mais il a fallu du temps pour comprendre l'homme
Now at least I know I know him well
Maintenant, au moins, je sais que je le connais bien
Wasn't it good?
N'était-ce pas bien ?
(Oh so good)
(Oh si bien)
Wasn't he fine?
N'était-il pas bien ?
(Oh so fine)
(Oh si bien)
Isn't it madness?
N'est-ce pas de la folie ?
He can't be mine
Il ne peut pas être à moi
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
Mais à la fin, il a besoin d'un peu plus que moi
(More security)
(Plus de sécurité)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
Il a besoin de ses fantasmes et de sa liberté
I know him so well
Je le connais si bien
No one in your life is with you constantly
Personne dans votre vie n'est constamment avec vous
No one is completely on your side
Personne n'est complètement de votre côté
And though I move my world to be with him
Et bien que je déplace mon monde pour être avec lui
Still the gap between him is too much
Toujours, l'écart entre lui est trop grand
Looking back I could have played it differently
En regardant en arrière, j'aurais pu jouer différemment
One or a few more who can tell
Un ou quelques autres, qui peut dire
But I was ever so much younger then
Mais j'étais tellement plus jeune alors
Now at least I know I know him well
Maintenant, au moins, je sais que je le connais bien
Wasn't it good?
N'était-ce pas bien ?
(Oh so good)

Isn't it madness?
N'est-ce pas de la folie ?
He can't be mine
Il ne peut pas être à moi
Didn't I know
Ne savais-je pas
How it would go from the start if I knew
Comment cela se passerait dès le début si je savais
Why am I falling apart?
Pourquoi suis-je en train de m'effondrer ?
Wasn't it good?
N'était-ce pas bien ?
Wasn't it fine?
N'était-ce pas bien ?
Isn't it madness?
N'est-ce pas de la folie ?

Nothing it so good it lasts eternally
Nichts ist so gut, dass es ewig hält
Perfect situations must go wrong
Perfekte Situationen müssen schief gehen
But this has never yet prevented me
Aber das hat mich noch nie daran gehindert
Wanting far too much for far too long
Viel zu viel für viel zu lange zu wollen
Looking back, I could have played it differently
Im Rückblick hätte ich es anders spielen können
Learned about the man before I fell
Hätte den Mann kennen gelernt, bevor ich mich verliebte
But it took time to understand the man
Aber es brauchte Zeit, um den Mann zu verstehen
Now at least I know I know him well
Jetzt weiß ich zumindest, dass ich ihn gut kenne
Wasn't it good?
War es nicht gut?
(Oh so good)
(Oh so gut)
Wasn't he fine?
War er nicht fein?
(Oh so fine)
(Oh so fein)
Isn't it madness?
Ist es nicht Wahnsinn?
He can't be mine
Er kann nicht meiner sein
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
Aber am Ende braucht er ein bisschen mehr als ich
(More security)
(Mehr Sicherheit)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
Er braucht seine Fantasien und Freiheit
I know him so well
Ich kenne ihn so gut
No one in your life is with you constantly
Niemand in deinem Leben ist ständig bei dir
No one is completely on your side
Niemand steht vollkommen auf deiner Seite
And though I move my world to be with him
Und obwohl ich meine Welt bewege, um bei ihm zu sein
Still the gap between him is too much
Ist die Lücke zwischen ihm immer noch zu groß
Looking back I could have played it differently
Im Rückblick hätte ich es anders spielen können
One or a few more who can tell
Einer oder ein paar mehr, wer kann das schon sagen
But I was ever so much younger then
Aber ich war damals so viel jünger
Now at least I know I know him well
Jetzt weiß ich zumindest, dass ich ihn gut kenne
Wasn't it good?
War es nicht gut?
(Oh so good)
(Oh so gut)
Wasn't he fine?
War er nicht fein?
(Oh so fine)
(Oh so fein)
Isn't it madness?
Ist es nicht Wahnsinn?
He can't be mine
Er kann nicht meiner sein
Didn't I know
Habe ich nicht gewusst
How it would go from the start if I knew
Wie es von Anfang an laufen würde, wenn ich es gewusst hätte
Why am I falling apart?
Warum falle ich auseinander?
Wasn't it good?
War es nicht gut?
Wasn't it fine?
War es nicht fein?
Isn't it madness?

Ich kenne ihn so gut
It took time to understand him
Es brauchte Zeit, um ihn zu verstehen

Ich kenne ihn so gut
Nothing it so good it lasts eternally
Nulla è così buono da durare eternamente
Perfect situations must go wrong
Le situazioni perfette devono andare storte
But this has never yet prevented me
Ma questo non mi ha mai impedito
Wanting far too much for far too long
Di desiderare troppo per troppo tempo
Looking back, I could have played it differently
Guardando indietro, avrei potuto giocarla in modo diverso
Learned about the man before I fell
Imparare dell'uomo prima di innamorarmi
But it took time to understand the man
Ma ci è voluto tempo per capire l'uomo
Now at least I know I know him well
Ora almeno so che lo conosco bene
Wasn't it good?
Non era buono?
(Oh so good)
(Oh così buono)
Wasn't he fine?
Non era bello?
(Oh so fine)
(Oh così bello)
Isn't it madness?
Non è follia?
He can't be mine
Non può essere mio
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
Ma alla fine ha bisogno di un po' più di me
(More security)
(Più sicurezza)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
Ha bisogno delle sue fantasie e libertà
I know him so well
Lo conosco così bene
No one in your life is with you constantly
Nessuno nella tua vita è con te costantemente
No one is completely on your side
Nessuno è completamente dalla tua parte
And though I move my world to be with him
E anche se sposto il mio mondo per stare con lui
Still the gap between him is too much
Ancora il divario tra lui è troppo grande
Looking back I could have played it differently
Guardando indietro avrei potuto giocarla in modo diverso
One or a few more who can tell
Uno o qualche altro chi può dirlo
But I was ever so much younger then
Ma ero molto più giovane allora
Now at least I know I know him well
Ora almeno so che lo conosco bene
Wasn't it good?
Non era buono?
(Oh so good)
(Oh così buono)
Wasn't he fine?
Non era bello?

Come sarebbe andata dall'inizio se lo sapevo
Why am I falling apart?
Perché sto cadendo a pezzi?
Wasn't it good?
Non era buono?
Wasn't it fine?
Non era bello?
Isn't it madness?
Non è follia?
He can't be mine
Non può essere mio
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
Ma alla fine ha bisogno di un po' più di me
(More security)
(Più sicurezza)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
Ha bisogno delle sue fantasie e libertà
I know him so well
Lo conosco così bene
It took time to understand him
Ci è voluto tempo per capirlo
I know him so well
Lo conosco così bene
Nothing it so good it lasts eternally
Tidak ada yang begitu baik hingga berlangsung selamanya
Perfect situations must go wrong
Situasi sempurna pasti akan berakhir salah
But this has never yet prevented me
Tapi ini belum pernah menghalangi saya
Wanting far too much for far too long
Menginginkan terlalu banyak untuk waktu yang terlalu lama
Looking back, I could have played it differently
Mengingat kembali, saya bisa bermain dengan cara yang berbeda
Learned about the man before I fell
Belajar tentang pria itu sebelum saya jatuh cinta
But it took time to understand the man
Tapi butuh waktu untuk memahami pria itu
Now at least I know I know him well
Sekarang setidaknya saya tahu saya mengenalnya dengan baik
Wasn't it good?
Bukankah itu baik?
(Oh so good)
(Oh sangat baik)
Wasn't he fine?
Bukankah dia hebat?
(Oh so fine)
(Oh sangat hebat)
Isn't it madness?
Bukankah itu gila?
He can't be mine
Dia tidak bisa menjadi milikku
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
Tapi pada akhirnya dia membutuhkan sedikit lebih dari saya
(More security)
(Lebih banyak keamanan)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
Dia membutuhkan fantasinya dan kebebasan
I know him so well
Saya mengenalnya dengan baik
No one in your life is with you constantly
Tidak ada orang di hidupmu yang selalu bersamamu
No one is completely on your side
Tidak ada yang sepenuhnya berpihak padamu
And though I move my world to be with him
Dan meski saya memindahkan dunia saya untuk bersamanya
Still the gap between him is too much
Masih ada jarak antara kami yang terlalu besar
Looking back I could have played it differently
Mengingat kembali, saya bisa bermain dengan cara yang berbeda
One or a few more who can tell
Satu atau beberapa orang lagi yang bisa memberitahu
But I was ever so much younger then
Tapi saya jauh lebih muda saat itu
Now at least I know I know him well
Sekarang setidaknya saya tahu saya mengenalnya dengan baik
Wasn't it good?
Bukankah itu baik?
(Oh so good)
(Oh sangat baik)
Wasn't he fine?
Bukankah dia hebat?
(Oh so fine)

How it would go from the start if I knew
Bagaimana itu akan berjalan dari awal jika saya tahu
Why am I falling apart?
Mengapa saya jatuh terpecah?
Wasn't it good?
Bukankah itu baik?
Wasn't it fine?
Bukankah dia hebat?
Isn't it madness?
Bukankah itu gila?
He can't be mine
Dia tidak bisa menjadi milikku
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
Tapi pada akhirnya dia membutuhkan sedikit lebih dari saya
(More security)
(Lebih banyak keamanan)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
Dia membutuhkan fantasinya dan kebebasan
I know him so well
Saya mengenalnya dengan baik
It took time to understand him
Butuh waktu untuk memahaminya
I know him so well
Saya mengenalnya dengan baik
Nothing it so good it lasts eternally
