Kuiama

JEFF LYNNE

Lyrics Translation

My my Kuiama, she came in the morning,
She smiled but the tears on her little face
Showed the pain that had been in that far off place,
So sad, treated so bad.

My my Kuiama, don´t break your heart tryin,
To say how your Ma and your Pa passed away,
And they left you to wander the ruin and decay,
Real mean, that bullet machine.

See here Kuiama, now ten thousand miles,
Is a long way and you´re here today,
And you won´t go back so you might say hello,
How do you do.

Kuia stop your cryin, there´s no bombs a´fallin,
No horsemen in the night a´ridin through your dreams,
Ansd tearing at your life, baby goodnight.

No more silver rain will hit your ground,
And no more guns will sound and no more life be drowned.
No more trenchies where the soldiers lie and,
No more people die, beneath that big black sky.

Wake up Kuiama, I got somethin to tell you,
It´s just that I mean, well that is to say,
That I´m trying to explain but I´ll start again for you,
I must be true.

Kuia in this country, they got rules with no reason,
They teach you to kill and they send you away
With your gun in your hand you pick up your pay,
So cool, that no mercy tool.

Kuia please believe me, I just couln´t help myself,
I wanted to run but they gave me a gun
And they told me the duty I owed to my fatherland,
I made my stand.

Kuia I just shot them, I just blew their heads open,
And I heard them scream in their agony,
Kuiama she waits there for me,
True blue, you saw it through.

[Verso 1]
Mi, mi Kuiama, me vio en la mañana
Sonrió pero las lágrimas
Mostraron el dolor de ese lejano lugar
Qué mal, fue su tratar

[Verso 2]
Mi, mi Kuiama, no te rompas diciendo
Cómo fue que tus padres murieron
Y a deambular las ruinas te dejaron
Muy ruin, esa arma ya fue

[Verso 3]
Mira aquí Kuiama, pues diez mil millas
Es un largo camino y estás aquí
Y no volverás para poder decir
"Hola, ¿cómo estás?"

[Verso 4]
Kuia, deja de llorar, no hay bombas cayendo
No hay jinetes en la noche yendo
En tus sueños y tu vida rasgando
Buenas noches, bebé

[Puente]
No hay más lluvia de plata
No escucharás más armas
No más vida ahogada
No más trincheras donde hay soldados
Y ni un muerto más
Bajo ese cielo negro

[Verso 5]
Despierta, Kuiama, debo decirte algo
Es que trato, digo, quiero explicar
Pero debo comenzar otra vez
Por tí, sincero seré

[Verso 6]
Kuia, en este país, tienen reglas sin razón
A matar te enseñan y te mandan lejos
Con arma en mano, pagas el precio
Sin piedad, esa arma mortal

[Break instrumental]

[Verso 7]
Kuia, créeme por favor, no pude evitarlo
Quería huir pero un arma me dieron
Y me dijeron mi deber a mi país
Me posicioné

[Verso 8]
Kuia, yo les disparé, les volé la cabeza
Y los oí gritar de agonía
Kuiama, ella me espera
Sufrir, lo has visto tú
