I Want to Know What Love Is

Michael Leslie Jones

Lyrics Translation

I've gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

Ooh, ooh

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds, I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far to change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me
Oh, oh

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far to change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me
(And I wanna feel) I wanna feel what love is
(And I know) I know you can show me

Let's talk about love (I wanna know what love is)
Love that you feel inside (I want you to show me)
And I'm feeling so much love (I wanna feel what love is)
No, you just cannot hide (I know you can show me)

Oh, oh
I wanna know what love is (let's talk about love)
I know you can show me
I wanna feel it too (I want to feel what love is)
I wanna feel it too
And I know, and I know, I know you can show me
(Show me that it's real, yeah) I want to know what love is

I wanna know, oh, oh (I want you to show me)
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know (I wanna feel what love is)
I wanna feel (I know you can show me)

I've gotta take a little time
Eu preciso dar um tempo
A little time to think things over
Um pouco de tempo para repensar as coisas
I better read between the lines
É melhor eu ler nas entrelinhas
In case I need it when I'm older
Caso eu de precise quando for mais velho
Ooh, ooh
Oh, ooh
Now this mountain I must climb
Agora esta montanha eu devo escalar
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Sinto o mundo sobre meus ombros
Through the clouds, I see love shine
Através das nuvens, eu vejo o amor brilhar
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
Isso me mantém aquecido conforme a vida vai se tornando mais fria
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
Em minha vida, tem havido dor e sofrimento
I don't know if I can face it again
Eu não sei se consigo passar por isso novamente
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far to change this lonely life
Não posso parar agora, eu fui longe demais para mudar esta vida solitária
I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me
Eu quero saber o que é o amor, quero que você me mostre
I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me
Eu quero sentir o que é o amor, eu sei que você pode me mostrar
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I'm gonna take a little time
Vou dar um tempo
A little time to look around me
Um pouco de tempo para olhar ao meu redor
I've got nowhere left to hide
Não tenho mais onde me esconder
It looks like love has finally found me
Parece que o amor finalmente me encontrou
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
Em minha vida, tem havido dor e sofrimento
I don't know if I can face it again
Eu não sei se consigo passar por isso novamente
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far to change this lonely life
Não posso parar agora, eu fui longe demais para mudar esta vida solitária
I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me

I've gotta take a little time
Tengo que tomarme un poco de tiempo
A little time to think things over
Un poco de tiempo para pensar las cosas
I better read between the lines
Será mejor que lea entre líneas
In case I need it when I'm older
En caso de que lo necesite cuando sea mayor
Ooh, ooh
Uh, uh
Now this mountain I must climb
Ahora tengo que escalar esta montaña
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Se siente como si llevara el mundo sobre mis hombros
Through the clouds, I see love shine
A través de las nubes, veo brillar el amor
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
Me mantiene caliente a medida que la vida se enfría
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
En mi vida, ha habido dolor y dolor
