Who Can It Be Now?

Colin James Hay

Lyrics Translation

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide

Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
If he hears, he'll knock all day
I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
I like it here with my childhood friend
Here they come, those feelings again

Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It's not the future that I can see
It's just my fantasy

Yeah

Who? Who? Who?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Oh, oh, oh
Who can it be now?
Oh we oh
Who can it, who can it
Oh, who can it be now?
Oh, we, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Quem pode estar batendo a minha porta?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more
Vai embora, não volta mais aqui
Can't you see that it's late at night?
Você não vê que já é tarde?
I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right
Estou muito cansado e não me sentindo bem
All I wish is to be alone
Tudo que quero é estar sozinho
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Fique longe, não invada minha casa
Best off if you hang outside
Melhor você ficar do lado de fora
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide
Não entre que eu só vou correr e me esconder
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Quem pode estar batendo a minha porta?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
Não faça nenhum barulho, vá na ponta dos pés
If he hears, he'll knock all day
Se ele ouvir vai bater o dia inteiro
I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay
Eu serei pego e terei que ficar aqui
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
Eu não fiz nenhum mal, eu mantenho tudo pra mim
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
Não há nada de errado com meu estado de saúde mental
I like it here with my childhood friend
Eu gosto daqui com meu amigo de infância
Here they come, those feelings again
Aí vem eles, aqueles sentimentos de novo
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Is it the man come to take me away?
E esse cara que veio me levar embora?
Why do they follow me?
Por que eles estão me seguindo?
It's not the future that I can see
Não é o futuro que eu posso ver
It's just my fantasy
É apenas minha fantasia
Yeah
Yeah
Who? Who? Who?
Quem? Quem? Quem?
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Who can it be now?
Quem pode ser agora?
Oh we oh
Oh nós oh
Who can it, who can it
Quem pode, quem pode
Oh, who can it be now?
Oh, quem pode ser agora?
Oh, we, oh
Oh, nós oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Who can it be knocking at my door?
¿Quién podrá ser tocando mi puerta?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more
Vete, no vuelvas más por aquí
Can't you see that it's late at night?
¿No puedes ver que es tarde de noche?
I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right
Estoy muy cansado, y no me siento bien
All I wish is to be alone
Lo único que deseo es estar solo
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Aléjate, no invadas mi hogar
Best off if you hang outside
Es mejor si te quedas afuera
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide
No entres, solo correré y me esconderé
Who can it be now?
¿Quién podrá ser ahora?
Who can it be now?
¿Quién podrá ser ahora?
Who can it be now?
¿Quién podrá ser ahora?
Who can it be now?
¿Quién podrá ser ahora?
Who can it be knocking at my door?
¿Quién podrá ser tocando mi puerta?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
No hago ningún sonido, de puntas a través del piso
If he hears, he'll knock all day
Si él escucha, él tocará todo el día
I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay
Estaré atrapado, y aquí me tendré que quedar
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
No hecho ningún daño, me mantengo reservado
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
No hay nada de malo con mi estado de salud mental
I like it here with my childhood friend
Me gusta aquí con mi amigo de infancia
Here they come, those feelings again
Aquí vienen, esos sentimientos de nuevo
Who can it be now?
¿Quién podrá ser ahora?
Who can it be now?
¿Quién podrá ser ahora?
Who can it be now?
¿Quién podrá ser ahora?
Who can it be now?
¿Quién podrá ser ahora?
Is it the man come to take me away?
¿Es el hombre que ha venido a llevarme?
Why do they follow me?
¿Por qué me persiguen?
It's not the future that I can see
No es el futuro que puedo ver
It's just my fantasy
Es sólo mi fantasía
Yeah

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Qui peut bien toquer à ma porte?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more
Pars, ne reviens plus par ici
Can't you see that it's late at night?
Tu vois pas qu'il est tard?
I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right
Je suis vraiment fatiguée, et je me sens pas bien
All I wish is to be alone
Tout ce que je veux c'est être seul
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Reste loin, ne viens pas chez moi
Best off if you hang outside
C'est mieux si tu restes dehors
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide
Ne rentre pas, je vais juste fuir et me cacher
Who can it be now?
Qui ça peut bien être maintenant?
Who can it be now?
Qui ça peut bien être maintenant?
Who can it be now?
Qui ça peut bien être maintenant?
Who can it be now?
Qui ça peut bien être maintenant?
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Qui peut bien toquer à ma porte?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
Je fais pas de bruit, marche sur la pointe des pieds
If he hears, he'll knock all day
Si il entend, il va toquer toute la journée
I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay
Je serai coincée, et je vais devoir rester là
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
Je n'ai fait aucun mal, je garde pour moi
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
Il n'y a rien de mal avec ma santé mentale
I like it here with my childhood friend
Je suis bien ici avec mes amis d'enfance
Here they come, those feelings again
Ils arrivent, ces sentiments encore

Is it the man come to take me away?
Est ce que c'est l'homme qui vient pour m'emmener
Why do they follow me?
Pourquoi est ce qu'ils me suivent?
It's not the future that I can see
C'est pas le future que je peux voir
It's just my fantasy
C'est seulement ma fantaisie
Yeah

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Wer kann das sein, der an meine Tür klopft?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more
Geh weg, komm nicht mehr hierher
Can't you see that it's late at night?
Siehst du nicht, dass es schon spät am Abend ist?
I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right
Ich bin sehr müde, und ich fühle mich nicht gut
All I wish is to be alone
Alles, was ich will, ist allein zu sein
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Bleib weg, dring nicht in mein Haus ein
Best off if you hang outside
Es ist besser, wenn du draußen bleibst
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide
Komm nicht rein, ich werde mich nur verstecken

Wer kann es sein, der an meine Tür klopft?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
Mach keinen Lärm, schleiche auf Zehenspitzen über den Boden
If he hears, he'll knock all day
Wenn er es hört, wird er den ganzen Tag klopfen
I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay
Ich sitze in der Falle, und hier muss ich bleiben
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
Ich habe nichts Böses getan, ich bleibe für mich
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
An meiner geistigen Gesundheit ist nichts auszusetzen
I like it here with my childhood friend
Ich mag es hier mit meinem Jugendfreund
Here they come, those feelings again
Da kommen sie wieder, diese Gefühle

Chi può essere a bussare alla mia porta?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more
Va' via, non venire più a qua
Can't you see that it's late at night?
Non vedi che è tarda notte?
I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right
Sono tanto stanco, non mi sento bene
All I wish is to be alone
Tutto ciò che desidero è di stare da solo
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Stai lontano, non voglio che tu invada la mai casa
Best off if you hang outside
È meglio se stai fuori
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide
Non venire dentro, io scapperò e mi nasconderò
Who can it be now?
Chi può essere adesso?
Who can it be now?
Chi può essere adesso?
Who can it be now?
Chi può essere adesso?
Who can it be now?
Chi può essere adesso?
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Chi può essere a bussare alla mia porta?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
Non fare rumore, in punta di piedi sul pavimento
If he hears, he'll knock all day
Se lui sente, lui busserà tutta la giornata
I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay
Sarò intrappolato, e dovrò rimanere qua
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
Non ho fatto del male, lo tengo per me stesso
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
Non c'è nulla di sbagliato con lo stato della mia salute mentale
I like it here with my childhood friend
Mi piace qua con il mio amico d'infanzia
Here they come, those feelings again
Eccoli che arrivano, di nuovo queste emozioni
