The Seeker

PETER TOWNSHEND

Lyrics Translation

I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables

They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either

They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

People tend to hate me
'Cause I never smile
As I ransack their homes
They want to shake my hand

Focusing on nowhere
Investigating miles
I'm a seeker
I'm a really desperate man

I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?
I'm happy when life's good
And when it's bad I cry
I've got values but I don't know how or why

I'm looking for me
You're looking for you
We're looking in at other
And we don't know what to do

They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I've looked under chairs
Eu olhei debaixo de cadeiras
I've looked under tables
Eu olhei debaixo de mesas
I've tried to find the key
Eu tentei encontrar a chave
To fifty million fables
Para cinquenta milhões de fábulas
They call me The Seeker
Eles me chamam de O Buscador
I've been searching low and high
Eu tenho procurado baixo e alto
I won't get to get what I'm after
Eu não vou conseguir o que estou procurando
Till the day I die
Até o dia que eu morrer
I asked Bobby Dylan
Eu perguntei a Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
Eu perguntei aos Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
Eu perguntei a Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
Mas ele também não pôde me ajudar
They call me The Seeker
Eles me chamam de O Buscador
I've been searching low and high
Eu tenho procurado baixo e alto
I won't get to get what I'm after
Eu não vou conseguir o que estou procurando
Till the day I die
Até o dia que eu morrer
People tend to hate me
As pessoas tendem a me odiar
'Cause I never smile
Porque eu nunca sorrio
As I ransack their homes
Enquanto eu saqueio suas casas
They want to shake my hand
Eles querem apertar minha mão
Focusing on nowhere
Focando em lugar nenhum
Investigating miles
Investigando milhas
I'm a seeker
Eu sou um buscador
I'm a really desperate man
Eu sou um homem realmente desesperado
I won't get to get what I'm after
Eu não vou conseguir o que estou procurando
Till the day I die
Até o dia que eu morrer
I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Eu aprendi a levantar minha voz com raiva
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?
Sim, mas olhe para o meu rosto, não é um sorriso?
I'm happy when life's good
Eu estou feliz quando a vida é boa
And when it's bad I cry
E quando é ruim eu choro
I've got values but I don't know how or why
Eu tenho valores, mas eu não sei como ou por quê
I'm looking for me
Eu estou procurando por mim
You're looking for you
Você está procurando por você
We're looking in at other
Nós estamos olhando um para o outro
And we don't know what to do
E nós não sabemos o que fazer
They call me The Seeker
Eles me chamam de O Buscador
I've been searching low and high
Eu tenho procurado baixo e alto
I won't get to get what I'm after
Eu não vou conseguir o que estou procurando
Till the day I die
Até o dia que eu morrer
I won't get to get what I'm after
Eu não vou conseguir o que estou procurando
Till the day I die
Até o dia que eu morrer
I've looked under chairs
He mirado debajo de las sillas
I've looked under tables
He mirado debajo de las mesas
I've tried to find the key
He intentado encontrar la llave
To fifty million fables
Para cincuenta millones de fábulas
They call me The Seeker
Me llaman El Buscador
I've been searching low and high
He estado buscando alto y bajo
I won't get to get what I'm after
No conseguiré lo que busco
Till the day I die
Hasta el día que muera
I asked Bobby Dylan
Le pregunté a Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
Le pregunté a Los Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
Le pregunté a Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
Pero él tampoco pudo ayudarme
They call me The Seeker
Me llaman El Buscador

He estado buscando alto y bajo
I won't get to get what I'm after
No conseguiré lo que busco
Till the day I die
Hasta el día que muera
People tend to hate me
La gente tiende a odiarme
'Cause I never smile
Porque nunca sonrío
As I ransack their homes
Mientras saqueo sus casas
They want to shake my hand
Quieren estrechar mi mano
Focusing on nowhere
Enfocándome en la nada
Investigating miles
Investigando millas
I'm a seeker
Soy un buscador
I'm a really desperate man
Soy un hombre realmente desesperado
I won't get to get what I'm after
No conseguiré lo que busco
Till the day I die
Hasta el día que muera
I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Aprendí a alzar mi voz con ira
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?
Sí, pero mira mi cara, ¿no es esta una sonrisa?
I'm happy when life's good
Soy feliz cuando la vida es buena
And when it's bad I cry
Y cuando es mala lloro
I've got values but I don't know how or why
Tengo valores pero no sé cómo ni por qué
I'm looking for me
Estoy buscándome

Estás buscándote
We're looking in at other
Estamos mirándonos el uno al otro
And we don't know what to do
Y no sabemos qué hacer
They call me The Seeker
Me llaman El Buscador
I've been searching low and high

Till the day I die

No conseguiré lo que busco
Till the day I die
