They Won't Go When I Go

Stevie Wonder, Yvonne Wright

Lyrics Translation

No more lying friends
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won't go when I go

All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Were right here from the start
And they won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with him I'll bide
And they won't go when I go

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Big men feeling small
Weak ones standing tall
I will watch them fall
'Cause they won't go when I go
And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears
Unclean minds mislead the pure
The innocent will leave for sure
For them there is a resting place
People sinning just for fun
They will never see the sun
For they can never show their faces
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who will take more than he will give
He'll give, he'll give
He ain't hardly gonna give, oh yeah

The greed of man will be
Far away from me
And my soul will be free
They won't go when I go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Since my soul conceived
All that I believe
The kingdom I will see
'Cause they won't go when I go
And I'll go
Where I'll go
No one can keep me
From my destiny, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They won't go when I go

No more lying friends
Sem mais amigos mentirosos
Wanting tragic ends
Querendo fins trágicos
Though they do pretend
Embora eles finjam
They won't go when I go
Eles não irão quando eu for
All those bleeding hearts
Todos esses corações sangrando
With sorrows to impart
Com tristezas para compartilhar
Were right here from the start
Estavam aqui desde o início
And they won't go when I go
E eles não irão quando eu for
And I'll go where I've longed
E eu irei para onde eu ansiava
To go so long
Ir por tanto tempo
Away from tears
Longe das lágrimas
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Gone from painful cries
Longe de gritos dolorosos
Away from saddened eyes
Longe de olhos entristecidos
Along with him I'll bide
Junto com ele eu ficarei
And they won't go when I go
E eles não irão quando eu for
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Big men feeling small
Homens grandes se sentindo pequenos
Weak ones standing tall
Os fracos se mantendo altos
I will watch them fall
Eu vou vê-los cair
'Cause they won't go when I go
Porque eles não irão quando eu for
And I'll go where I've longed
E eu irei para onde eu ansiava
To go so long
Ir por tanto tempo
Away from tears
Longe das lágrimas
Unclean minds mislead the pure
Mentes impuras enganam os puros
The innocent will leave for sure
Os inocentes certamente partirão
For them there is a resting place
Para eles há um lugar de descanso
People sinning just for fun
Pessoas pecando apenas por diversão
They will never see the sun
Eles nunca verão o sol
For they can never show their faces
Pois eles nunca podem mostrar seus rostos
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Não há espaço para o pecador sem esperança
Who will take more than he will give
Que vai pegar mais do que vai dar
He'll give, he'll give
Ele vai dar, ele vai dar
He ain't hardly gonna give, oh yeah
Ele mal vai dar, oh sim
The greed of man will be
A ganância do homem estará
Far away from me
Longe de mim
And my soul will be free
E minha alma estará livre
They won't go when I go
Eles não irão quando eu for
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Since my soul conceived
Desde que minha alma concebeu
All that I believe
Tudo o que eu acredito
The kingdom I will see
O reino eu verei
'Cause they won't go when I go
Porque eles não irão quando eu for
And I'll go
E eu irei
Where I'll go
Para onde eu irei
No one can keep me
Ninguém pode me impedir
From my destiny, yeah
Do meu destino, sim
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They won't go when I go
Eles não irão quando eu for
No more lying friends
No más amigos mentirosos
Wanting tragic ends
Deseando finales trágicos
Though they do pretend
Aunque ellos pretendan
They won't go when I go
No se irán cuando yo me vaya
All those bleeding hearts
Todos esos corazones sangrantes
With sorrows to impart
Con penas para impartir
Were right here from the start
Estuvieron aquí desde el principio
And they won't go when I go
Y no se irán cuando yo me vaya

Y yo iré donde he anhelado
To go so long
Ir durante tanto tiempo
Away from tears
Lejos de las lágrimas
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Gone from painful cries
Lejos de los gritos dolorosos
Away from saddened eyes
Lejos de los ojos tristes
Along with him I'll bide
Junto a él me quedaré
And they won't go when I go
Y no se irán cuando yo me vaya
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Big men feeling small
Hombres grandes sintiéndose pequeños
Weak ones standing tall
Los débiles de pie
I will watch them fall
Los veré caer
'Cause they won't go when I go
Porque no se irán cuando yo me vaya
And I'll go where I've longed
Y yo iré donde he anhelado
To go so long
Ir durante tanto tiempo
Away from tears
Lejos de las lágrimas
Unclean minds mislead the pure
Las mentes impuras engañan a los puros

Los inocentes se irán seguro
For them there is a resting place
Para ellos hay un lugar de descanso
People sinning just for fun
Gente pecando solo por diversión
They will never see the sun
Nunca verán el sol
For they can never show their faces
Porque nunca pueden mostrar sus caras
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
No hay lugar para el pecador sin esperanza
