I Started Something I Couldn't Finish

STEVEN MORRISSEY, JOHNNY MARR

Lyrics Translation

The lanes were silent
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
I doused our friendly venture
With a hard-faced
Three-word gesture

I started something
I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me
Typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the guilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And I doused another venture
With a gesture
That was absolutely vile

I started something
I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me
Typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the guilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And now eighteen months' hard labor
Seems fair enough

I started something
And I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me
Typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I started something
I started something
Typical me, typical me
Typical me, typical me
Typical me, typical me
Typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

OK Stephen, do that again?

The lanes were silent
As ruas estavam silenciosas
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
Não havia nada, ninguém, nada ao redor por milhas
I doused our friendly venture
Eu apaguei nossa aventura amigável
With a hard-faced
Com um rosto duro
Three-word gesture
Gesto de três palavras
I started something
Eu comecei algo
I forced you to a zone
Eu te forcei a uma zona
And you were clearly
E você claramente
Never meant to go
Nunca deveria ter ido
Hair brushed and parted
Cabelo escovado e dividido
Typical me, typical me
Típico de mim, típico de mim
Typical me
Típico de mim
I started something
Eu comecei algo
And now I'm not too sure
E agora não tenho tanta certeza
I grabbed you by the guilded beams
Eu te agarrei pelos feixes dourados
Uh, that's what tradition means
Uh, isso é o que a tradição significa
And I doused another venture
E eu apaguei outra aventura
With a gesture
Com um gesto
That was absolutely vile
Que foi absolutamente vil
I started something
Eu comecei algo
I forced you to a zone
Eu te forcei a uma zona
And you were clearly
E você claramente
Never meant to go
Nunca deveria ter ido
Hair brushed and parted
Cabelo escovado e dividido
Typical me, typical me
Típico de mim, típico de mim
Typical me
Típico de mim
I started something
Eu comecei algo
And now I'm not too sure
E agora não tenho tanta certeza
I grabbed you by the guilded beams
Eu te agarrei pelos feixes dourados
Uh, that's what tradition means
Uh, isso é o que a tradição significa
And now eighteen months' hard labor
E agora dezoito meses de trabalho duro
Seems fair enough
Parece justo
I started something
Eu comecei algo
And I forced you to a zone
E eu te forcei a uma zona
And you were clearly
E você claramente
Never meant to go
Nunca deveria ter ido
Hair brushed and parted
Cabelo escovado e dividido
Typical me, typical me
Típico de mim, típico de mim
Typical me
Típico de mim
I started something
Eu comecei algo
And now I'm not too sure
E agora não tenho tanta certeza
I started something
Eu comecei algo

Eu comecei algo
Typical me, typical me
Típico de mim, típico de mim
Typical me, typical me
Típico de mim, típico de mim
Typical me, typical me
Típico de mim, típico de mim
Typical me

I started something
Eu comecei algo
And now I'm not too sure
E agora não tenho tanta certeza
OK Stephen, do that again?

The lanes were silent
Las calles estaban silenciosas
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
No había nada, nadie, nada alrededor por millas
I doused our friendly venture
Apagué nuestra amistosa aventura
With a hard-faced
Con una dura
Three-word gesture
Gesto de tres palabras
I started something
Empecé algo

And I doused another venture
Y apagué otra aventura
With a gesture
Con un gesto
That was absolutely vile
Que fue absolutamente vil

The lanes were silent
Les ruelles étaient silencieuses
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
Il n'y avait rien, personne, rien autour pendant des kilomètres
I doused our friendly venture
J'ai éteint notre aventure amicale
With a hard-faced
Avec un visage dur
Three-word gesture
Un geste de trois mots
I started something
J'ai commencé quelque chose
I forced you to a zone
Je t'ai forcé à une zone
And you were clearly

J'ai commencé quelque chose
And now I'm not too sure
Et maintenant je ne suis pas trop sûr

Je t'ai attrapé par les poutres dorées
Uh, that's what tradition means
Euh, c'est ce que signifie la tradition
And I doused another venture
Et j'ai éteint une autre aventure
With a gesture
Avec un geste
That was absolutely vile
Qui était absolument vil

Mit einer harten
Three-word gesture
Drei-Wort-Geste

Ich habe etwas angefangen
I forced you to a zone
Ich zwang dich in eine Zone

Nie dazu bestimmt zu gehen

Haare gebürstet und gescheitelt
Typical me, typical me
Typisch ich, typisch ich
Typical me
Typisch ich
I started something
Ich habe etwas angefangen
And now I'm not too sure
Und jetzt bin ich mir nicht mehr so sicher

Uh, das ist was Tradition bedeutet
And I doused another venture
Und ich löschte ein weiteres Unterfangen
With a gesture
Mit einer Geste
That was absolutely vile
Die absolut widerlich war

The lanes were silent
Jalanan itu sunyi
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
Tidak ada apa-apa, tidak ada siapa-siapa, tidak ada apa-apa di sekitar berbatu-batu
I doused our friendly venture
Aku memadamkan petualangan kita yang ramah
With a hard-faced
Dengan ekspresi wajah yang keras
Three-word gesture
Gestur tiga kata

The lanes were silent
ซอยที่เงียบสงบ
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
ไม่มีอะไร ไม่มีใคร ไม่มีอะไรรอบ ๆ หลายไมล์
I doused our friendly venture
ฉันได้ดับไฟในการผจญภัยที่เรามีกันอย่างเป็นมิตร
