The Living Years

B.A. Robertson, Mike Rutherford

Lyrics Translation

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Oh, crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got

You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence

Say it loud (say it loud), say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late (it's too late) when we die (oh when we die)
To admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts

So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be okay

So say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can listen as well as you hear
Because it's too late, it's too late (it's too late)
When we die (oh, when we die)
To admit we don't see eye to eye

I wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late (it's too late) when we die (it's too late when we die)
To admit we don't see eye to eye

So say it, say it, say it loud (say it loud)
Say it clear (come on say it clear)
Say it loud
(Don't give up, don't give in and don't look away 'til it's too late)
Say it clear
Say it loud (say it loud, say it loud)

Every generation
Cada geração
Blames the one before
Culpa a anterior
And all of their frustrations
E todas as suas frustrações
Come beating on your door
Vêm batendo à sua porta
I know that I'm a prisoner
Eu sei que sou um prisioneiro
To all my Father held so dear
De tudo que meu pai prezava tanto
I know that I'm a hostage
Eu sei que sou um refém
To all his hopes and fears
De todas as suas esperanças e medos
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Eu só queria poder ter dito a ele nos anos de vida
Oh, crumpled bits of paper
Ah, pedaços amassados de papel
Filled with imperfect thought
Cheios de pensamentos imperfeitos
Stilted conversations
Conversas truncadas
I'm afraid that's all we've got
Tenho medo que é tudo que temos
You say you just don't see it
Você diz que simplesmente não vê
He says it's perfect sense
Ele diz que faz todo sentido
You just can't get agreement
Você simplesmente não consegue um acordo
In this present tense
No presente

Diga em voz alta (diga em voz alta), diga claramente (oh diga claramente)
You can listen as well as you hear
Você pode ouvir tão bem quanto escuta
It's too late (it's too late) when we die (oh when we die)
É tarde demais (é tarde demais) quando morremos (oh quando morremos)
To admit we don't see eye to eye
Para admitir que não vemos olho no olho
So we open up a quarrel
Então abrimos uma discussão
Between the present and the past
Entre o presente e o passado
We only sacrifice the future
Só sacrificamos o futuro
It's the bitterness that lasts
É a amargura que dura
So don't yield to the fortunes
Então não ceda às fortunas
You sometimes see as fate
Que às vezes você vê como destino
It may have a new perspective
Pode ter uma nova perspectiva
On a different day
Em um dia diferente
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
E se você não desistir, e não ceder
