Madman's Eyes

Lyrics Translation

Ah, oh
Ah, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Mmm

Oh, Little Billy's got a gun
Little Billy's having fun
Shooting bottles on the wall
Dreams the hero come home from war

Is this real?
Is this make believe?
You'd think we'd know how everything's supposed to be
Like a train blowing full steam ahead
Can't hear what you're saying
With everybody screaming

I'm afraid, can't lie
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
In the dark, be the light
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It's not black and white
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"

The truth might not be crystal clear
But if might is right, there's no room for love in here
Oh, we pray to God and hope he's listening
Then a man with a gun brings the demons in

Oh, we live as if our hands are tied
But is it really so hard
To do what we know is right?
To protect the things
That we hold dear
Must we do things that we should never forgive?

I'm afraid, can't lie
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
In the dark, be the light
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It's not black and white
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"

Run and hide
Don't ask why
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes
When it's too late to untwist the knife
How do we face hatred with the love inside us?

I'm afraid, can't lie
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
In the dark, be the light
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It's not black and white
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"

Ah, oh
Ah, oh
Ah, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Ah, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Mmm
Mmm
Oh, Little Billy's got a gun
Oh, o pequeno Billy tem uma arma
Little Billy's having fun
O pequeno Billy está se divertindo
Shooting bottles on the wall
Atirando garrafas na parede
Dreams the hero come home from war
Sonha que o herói volta da guerra
Is this real?
Isso é real?
Is this make believe?
Isso é faz de conta?
You'd think we'd know how everything's supposed to be
Você pensaria que saberíamos como tudo deveria ser
Like a train blowing full steam ahead
Como um trem soprando a todo vapor
Can't hear what you're saying
Não consigo ouvir o que você está dizendo
With everybody screaming
Com todo mundo gritando
I'm afraid, can't lie
Estou com medo, não posso mentir
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
Mamãe disse, "Bebê, não chore
In the dark, be the light
No escuro, seja a luz
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
Não solte, bebê, segure firme
To believe is blind
Acreditar é cego
Don't sacrifice another child
Não sacrifique outra criança
It's not black and white
Não é preto e branco
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"
A menos que você esteja olhando pelos olhos de um louco"
The truth might not be crystal clear
A verdade pode não ser cristalina
But if might is right, there's no room for love in here
Mas se a força é o direito, não há espaço para o amor aqui
Oh, we pray to God and hope he's listening
Oh, nós oramos a Deus e esperamos que ele esteja ouvindo
Then a man with a gun brings the demons in
Então um homem com uma arma traz os demônios
Oh, we live as if our hands are tied
Oh, vivemos como se nossas mãos estivessem amarradas
But is it really so hard
Mas é realmente tão difícil
To do what we know is right?
Fazer o que sabemos que é certo?
To protect the things
Para proteger as coisas
That we hold dear
Que nós prezamos
Must we do things that we should never forgive?
Devemos fazer coisas que nunca deveríamos perdoar?
I'm afraid, can't lie
Estou com medo, não posso mentir
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
Mamãe disse, "Bebê, não chore
In the dark, be the light
No escuro, seja a luz
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
Não solte, bebê, segure firme
To believe is blind
Acreditar é cego
Don't sacrifice another child
Não sacrifique outra criança
It's not black and white
Não é preto e branco
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"
A menos que você esteja olhando pelos olhos de um louco"
Run and hide
Corra e se esconda
Don't ask why
Não pergunte por quê
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes
Ninguém quer ver o olhar em seus olhos
When it's too late to untwist the knife
Quando é tarde demais para desfazer a facada
How do we face hatred with the love inside us?
Como enfrentamos o ódio com o amor dentro de nós?
I'm afraid, can't lie
Estou com medo, não posso mentir
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry

Oh, Little Billy's got a gun
Oh, el pequeño Billy tiene una pistola
Little Billy's having fun
El pequeño Billy se está divirtiendo
Shooting bottles on the wall
Disparando botellas en la pared
Dreams the hero come home from war
Sueña con el héroe que regresa de la guerra
Is this real?
¿Es esto real?
Is this make believe?
¿Es esto imaginario?
You'd think we'd know how everything's supposed to be
Pensarías que sabríamos cómo se supone que debe ser todo
Like a train blowing full steam ahead
Como un tren soplando a toda velocidad
Can't hear what you're saying

With everybody screaming
Con todos gritando
I'm afraid, can't lie
Tengo miedo, no puedo mentir
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
Mamá dijo: "Bebé, no llores
In the dark, be the light
En la oscuridad, sé la luz
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
No te sueltes, bebé, aférrate fuerte
To believe is blind
Creer es ciego
Don't sacrifice another child
No sacrifiques a otro niño
It's not black and white
No es blanco y negro
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"
A menos que estés mirando a través de los ojos de un loco"
The truth might not be crystal clear
La verdad puede que no sea cristalina
But if might is right, there's no room for love in here
Pero si la fuerza es la razón, no hay lugar para el amor aquí
Oh, we pray to God and hope he's listening
Oh, rezamos a Dios y esperamos que esté escuchando
Then a man with a gun brings the demons in
Entonces un hombre con una pistola trae a los demonios
Oh, we live as if our hands are tied
Oh, vivimos como si nuestras manos estuvieran atadas
But is it really so hard
¿Es realmente tan difícil
To do what we know is right?
Hacer lo que sabemos que es correcto?
To protect the things
Para proteger las cosas
That we hold dear
Que apreciamos

Run and hide
Corre y esconde
Don't ask why
No preguntes por qué
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes
Nadie quiere ver la mirada en sus ojos
When it's too late to untwist the knife
Cuando es demasiado tarde para deshacer el cuchillo

Is this real?
Est-ce réel ?

Est-ce de l'imaginaire ?
You'd think we'd know how everything's supposed to be
On pourrait penser que nous savons comment tout est censé être
Like a train blowing full steam ahead
Comme un train qui avance à toute vapeur
Can't hear what you're saying
Je ne peux pas entendre ce que tu dis
With everybody screaming
Avec tout le monde qui crie
I'm afraid, can't lie
J'ai peur, je ne peux pas mentir
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
Maman a dit : "Bébé, ne pleure pas
In the dark, be the light
Dans le noir, sois la lumière
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
Ne lâche pas, bébé, accroche-toi bien
To believe is blind
Croire est aveugle
Don't sacrifice another child
Ne sacrifie pas un autre enfant
It's not black and white
Ce n'est pas noir et blanc
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"
Sauf si tu regardes à travers les yeux d'un fou"
The truth might not be crystal clear
La vérité n'est peut-être pas cristalline
But if might is right, there's no room for love in here
Mais si la force est le droit, il n'y a pas de place pour l'amour ici
Oh, we pray to God and hope he's listening
Oh, nous prions Dieu et espérons qu'il écoute
Then a man with a gun brings the demons in
Puis un homme avec un pistolet fait entrer les démons
Oh, we live as if our hands are tied
Oh, nous vivons comme si nos mains étaient liées
But is it really so hard
Mais est-ce vraiment si difficile
To do what we know is right?
De faire ce que nous savons être juste ?
To protect the things
Pour protéger les choses
That we hold dear
Que nous chérissons
Must we do things that we should never forgive?
Devons-nous faire des choses que nous ne devrions jamais pardonner ?
I'm afraid, can't lie
J'ai peur, je ne peux pas mentir

Run and hide
Cours et cache-toi
Don't ask why
Ne demande pas pourquoi
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes
Personne ne veut voir le regard dans ses yeux
When it's too late to untwist the knife
Quand il est trop tard pour retirer le couteau
How do we face hatred with the love inside us?
Comment faisons-nous face à la haine avec l'amour en nous ?
I'm afraid, can't lie

Oh, Little Billy's got a gun
Oh, der kleine Billy hat eine Waffe
Little Billy's having fun
Der kleine Billy hat Spaß
Shooting bottles on the wall
Schießt Flaschen an der Wand ab
Dreams the hero come home from war
Träumt davon, der Held zu sein, der aus dem Krieg nach Hause kommt
Is this real?
Ist das echt?
Is this make believe?
Ist das nur Einbildung?
You'd think we'd know how everything's supposed to be
Man würde denken, wir wüssten, wie alles sein sollte
Like a train blowing full steam ahead
Wie ein Zug, der mit voller Kraft vorausfährt
Can't hear what you're saying
Kann nicht hören, was du sagst
With everybody screaming
Mit allen, die schreien
I'm afraid, can't lie
Ich habe Angst, kann nicht lügen
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
Mama sagte: „Baby, weine nicht
In the dark, be the light
Im Dunkeln, sei das Licht
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
Lass nicht los, Baby, halte fest
To believe is blind
Zu glauben ist blind
Don't sacrifice another child
Opfere kein weiteres Kind
It's not black and white
Es ist nicht schwarz und weiß
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"
Es sei denn, du schaust durch die Augen eines Verrückten“
The truth might not be crystal clear
Die Wahrheit mag nicht kristallklar sein
But if might is right, there's no room for love in here
Aber wenn Macht Recht ist, ist hier kein Platz für Liebe
Oh, we pray to God and hope he's listening
Oh, wir beten zu Gott und hoffen, dass er zuhört
Then a man with a gun brings the demons in
Dann bringt ein Mann mit einer Waffe die Dämonen herein
Oh, we live as if our hands are tied
Oh, wir leben, als wären unsere Hände gebunden
But is it really so hard
Aber ist es wirklich so schwer
To do what we know is right?
Das zu tun, was wir wissen, dass es richtig ist?
To protect the things
Um die Dinge zu schützen
That we hold dear
Die uns lieb sind
Must we do things that we should never forgive?
Müssen wir Dinge tun, die wir niemals vergeben sollten?
I'm afraid, can't lie
Ich habe Angst, kann nicht lügen

Run and hide
Lauf und versteck dich
Don't ask why
Frag nicht warum
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes
Niemand will den Blick in seinen Augen sehen
When it's too late to untwist the knife
Wenn es zu spät ist, das Messer herauszudrehen
How do we face hatred with the love inside us?
Wie begegnen wir dem Hass mit der Liebe in uns?
I'm afraid, can't lie

Shooting bottles on the wall
Spara alle bottiglie sul muro
Dreams the hero come home from war
Sogna l'eroe che torna dalla guerra
Is this real?
È reale?
Is this make believe?
È fantasia?
You'd think we'd know how everything's supposed to be
Pensi che sapremmo come dovrebbe essere tutto
Like a train blowing full steam ahead
Come un treno che soffia a pieno vapore
Can't hear what you're saying
Non riesco a sentire quello che stai dicendo
With everybody screaming
Con tutti che urlano
I'm afraid, can't lie
Ho paura, non posso mentire
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
Mamma ha detto, "Bambino, non piangere
In the dark, be the light
Nel buio, sii la luce
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
Non lasciare andare, bambino, tieniti stretto
To believe is blind
Credere è cieco
Don't sacrifice another child
Non sacrificare un altro bambino
It's not black and white
Non è bianco e nero
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"
A meno che tu non stia guardando attraverso gli occhi di un pazzo"
The truth might not be crystal clear
La verità potrebbe non essere cristallina
But if might is right, there's no room for love in here
Ma se la forza è giusta, non c'è spazio per l'amore qui
Oh, we pray to God and hope he's listening
Oh, preghiamo Dio e speriamo che stia ascoltando
Then a man with a gun brings the demons in
Poi un uomo con una pistola porta i demoni dentro
Oh, we live as if our hands are tied
Oh, viviamo come se le nostre mani fossero legate
But is it really so hard
Ma è davvero così difficile
To do what we know is right?
Fare quello che sappiamo essere giusto?
To protect the things
Per proteggere le cose
That we hold dear
Che ci sono care
Must we do things that we should never forgive?
Dobbiamo fare cose che non dovremmo mai perdonare?
I'm afraid, can't lie
Ho paura, non posso mentire

Corri e nasconditi
Don't ask why
Non chiedere perché
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes
Nessuno vuole vedere lo sguardo nei suoi occhi
When it's too late to untwist the knife
Quando è troppo tardi per rimuovere il coltello
How do we face hatred with the love inside us?
Come affrontiamo l'odio con l'amore dentro di noi?
