Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word

Elton John, Bernard J.P. Taupin

Lyrics Translation

What do I gotta do to make you love me?
What do I gotta do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And awake to find that you're not there?

What do I do to make you want me?
What have I gotta do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad (so sad), so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad (so sad), so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad (so sad), so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad (so sad), so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me? Oh
What have I gotta do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
What've I gotta do?
What've I gotta do?
Ooh, when sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I gotta do to make you love me?
O que eu tenho que fazer para que você me ame?
What do I gotta do to make you care?
O que tenho que fazer para que você se importe?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
O que eu faço quando um raio me atinge?
And awake to find that you're not there?
E acordo para descobrir que você não está lá?
What do I do to make you want me?
O que eu faço para que você me queira?
What have I gotta do to be heard?
O que tenho que fazer para ser ouvido?
What do I say when it's all over?
O que devo dizer quando tudo terminar?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
E perdão parece ser a palavra mais difícil
It's sad (so sad), so sad
É triste (tão triste), tão triste
It's a sad, sad situation
É uma situação triste, triste
And it's getting more and more absurd
E está ficando cada vez mais absurdo
It's sad (so sad), so sad
É triste (tão triste), tão triste
Why can't we talk it over?
Por que não podemos falar sobre isso?
Oh, it seems to me
Oh, me parece
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
Quando perdão parece ser a palavra mais difícil
It's sad (so sad), so sad
É triste (tão triste), tão triste
It's a sad, sad situation
É uma situação triste, triste
And it's getting more and more absurd
E está ficando cada vez mais absurdo
It's sad (so sad), so sad
É triste (tão triste), tão triste
Why can't we talk it over?
Por que não podemos falar sobre isso?
Oh, it seems to me
Oh, me parece
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
Quando perdão parece ser a palavra mais difícil
What do I do to make you love me? Oh
O que eu faço para que você me ame? Oh
What have I gotta do to be heard?
O que tenho que fazer para ser ouvido?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
O que eu faço quando um raio me atinge?
What've I gotta do?
O que eu tenho que fazer?
What've I gotta do?
O que eu tenho que fazer?
Ooh, when sorry seems to be the hardest word
Ooh, quando a desculpa parece ser a palavra mais difícil
What do I gotta do to make you love me?
¿Qué tengo que hacer para que me ames?
What do I gotta do to make you care?
¿Qué tengo que hacer para que te importe?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
¿Qué hago cuando me cae un rayo?
And awake to find that you're not there?
¿Y despierto para descubrir que no estás ahí?
What do I do to make you want me?
¿Qué hago para que me quieras?
What have I gotta do to be heard?
¿Qué tengo que hacer para que me oigas?
What do I say when it's all over?
¿Qué digo cuando todo termine?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
Y lo siento parece ser la palabra más difícil
It's sad (so sad), so sad
Es triste (muy triste), tan triste
It's a sad, sad situation
Es una situación muy, muy triste
And it's getting more and more absurd
Y cada vez se pone más absurda
It's sad (so sad), so sad
Es triste (muy triste), tan triste
Why can't we talk it over?
¿Por qué no podemos conversarlo?
Oh, it seems to me
Oh, me parece
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
Que lo siento parece ser la palabra más difícil
It's sad (so sad), so sad
Es triste (muy triste), tan triste
It's a sad, sad situation
Es una situación muy, muy triste
And it's getting more and more absurd
Y cada vez se pone más absurda
It's sad (so sad), so sad
Es triste (muy triste), tan triste
Why can't we talk it over?
¿Por qué no podemos conversarlo?
Oh, it seems to me
Oh, me parece
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
Que lo siento parece ser la palabra más difícil
What do I do to make you love me? Oh
¿Qué hago para que me ames? Oh
What have I gotta do to be heard?
¿Qué tengo que hacer para que me oigas?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
¿Qué hago cuando me cae un rayo?
What've I gotta do?
¿Qué tengo que hacer?
What've I gotta do?
¿Qué tengo que hacer?
Ooh, when sorry seems to be the hardest word
Ooh, cuando lo siento parece ser la palabra más difícil
What do I gotta do to make you love me?
Que dois-je faire pour que tu m'aimes ?
What do I gotta do to make you care?
Que dois-je faire pour que tu t'intéresses à moi ?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
Qu'est-ce que je fais quand la foudre me frappe ?
And awake to find that you're not there?
Et que je me réveille pour découvrir que tu n’es pas là ?
What do I do to make you want me?
Que dois-je faire pour que tu me désires ?
What have I gotta do to be heard?
Que dois-je faire pour être entendu ?
What do I say when it's all over?
Qu'est-ce que je dis quand c'est fini ?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
Et pardon semble être le mot le plus difficile
It's sad (so sad), so sad
C'est triste (tellement triste), tellement triste
It's a sad, sad situation
C'est une triste, triste situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
