A Song For You
Leon Russell
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me
Is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Baby, can't you see through me?
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song, mm
Singing this song to you
Uma Ode à Intimidade e ao Amor Verdadeiro: A Song For You de Donny Hathaway
A música A Song For You, interpretada pelo talentoso Donny Hathaway, é uma balada emocionante que fala sobre amor, arrependimento e a conexão profunda entre duas pessoas. A letra revela a jornada de um indivíduo que, após ter vivido muitas experiências e ter se apresentado para inúmeras pessoas, encontra um momento de intimidade para dedicar uma canção a alguém especial. A música é um pedido de desculpas, uma confissão e uma declaração de amor, tudo em um só.
Donny Hathaway, conhecido por sua voz soulful e suas habilidades como pianista, canta sobre como ele pode ter falhado em mostrar sua melhor versão para a pessoa amada, reconhecendo que a tratou de maneira injusta. No entanto, ele destaca a importância dessa pessoa em sua vida, pedindo que ela veja além de suas falhas. A canção é um reconhecimento de que, apesar dos erros, o amor e a aprendizagem que surgiram dessa relação são inestimáveis.
A letra também aborda a ideia de um amor que transcende o tempo e o espaço, um amor eterno que persistirá mesmo após a vida. Hathaway expressa seu afeto de uma maneira que vai além das palavras, sugerindo que a melodia da canção carrega o verdadeiro sentimento que ele tem. A Song For You é uma expressão de amor puro, que ressoa com qualquer um que já tenha sentido uma conexão profunda com outra pessoa. A música se tornou um clássico atemporal, não apenas por sua melodia tocante, mas também por sua mensagem universal de amor e redenção.
I've been so many places in my life and time
Já estive em tantos lugares ao longo da minha vida
I've sung a lot of songs
Cantei tantas canções
I've made some bad rhymes
Fiz algumas rimas ruins
I've acted out my life in stages
Apresentei minha vida nos palcos
With ten thousand people watching
Com dez mil pessoas assistindo
But we're alone now
Mas agora estamos a sós
And I'm singing this song to you
E eu estou cantando esta canção para você
I know your image of me
Eu sei a imagem que você tem de mim
Is what I hoped to be
Era o que eu esperava
I treated you unkindly
Eu o tratei de forma rude
But darling, can't you see?
Mas meu bem, você não percebe?
There's no one more important to me
Não existe ninguém mais importante para mim
Baby, can't you see through me?
Querida, você não consegue perceber isso em mim?
'Cause we're alone now
porque agora estamos a sós
And I'm singing this song to you
E eu estou cantando esta canção para você
You taught me precious secrets
Você me ensinou segredos preciosos
Of a true love withholding nothing
Que o verdadeiro amor não controla nada
You came out in front when I was hiding
Você tomou a frente quando me escondi
Now I'm so much better
Agora estou muito melhor
And if my words don't come together
E se minhas palavras não fizerem sentido
Listen to the melody
Ouça a melodia
'Cause my love is in there hiding
porque meu amor está lá dentro escondido
I love you in a place
Eu te amo em um lugar
Where there's no space or time
Onde não há espaço nem tempo
I love you for my life
Amo por toda minha vida
You're a friend of mine
Você é minha amiga
And when my life is over
E quando minha vida acabar
Remember when we were together
Lembre-se de quando estávamos juntos
We were alone
Estávamos a sós
And I was singing this song to you
E eu estava cantando esta canção para você
I love you in a place
Eu te amo em um lugar
Where there's no space or time
Onde não há espaço nem tempo
I love you for my life
Amo por toda minha vida
You're a friend of mine
Você é minha amiga
And when my life is over
E quando minha vida acabar
Remember when we were together
Lembre-se de quando estávamos juntos
We were alone
Estávamos a sós
And I was singing this song to you
E eu estava cantando esta canção para você
We were alone
Estávamos a sós
And I was singing this song to you
E eu estava cantando esta canção para você
We were alone
Estávamos a sós
And I was singing this song, mm
E eu estava cantando esta canção, mm
Singing this song to you
Cantando esta canção para você
I've been so many places in my life and time
He estado en tantos lugares en mi vida y en mi tiempo
I've sung a lot of songs
He cantado muchas canciones
I've made some bad rhymes
He hecho algunas rimas malas
I've acted out my life in stages
He actuado en escenarios en mi vida
With ten thousand people watching
Con diez mil personas mirando
But we're alone now
Pero ahora estamos solos
And I'm singing this song to you
Y te estoy cantando esta canción
I know your image of me
Sé que tu imagen de mí
Is what I hoped to be
Es lo que esperaba que sea
I treated you unkindly
Te traté con crueldad
But darling, can't you see?
Pero cariño, ¿no lo ves?
There's no one more important to me
No hay nadie más importante para mí
Baby, can't you see through me?
Cariño, ¿no puedes ver a través de mí?
'Cause we're alone now
Porque ahora estamos solos
And I'm singing this song to you
Y te estoy cantando esta canción
You taught me precious secrets
Me enseñaste secretos preciosos
Of a true love withholding nothing
De un amor verdadero sin guardarte nada
You came out in front when I was hiding
Saliste de frente cuando me escondía
Now I'm so much better
Ahora estoy mucho mejor
And if my words don't come together
Y si mis palabras no se unen
Listen to the melody
Escucha la melodía
'Cause my love is in there hiding
Porque mi amor está ahí escondido
I love you in a place
Te amo en un lugar
Where there's no space or time
Donde no hay espacio ni tiempo
I love you for my life
Te amo con mi vida
You're a friend of mine
Eres mi amiga
And when my life is over
Y cuando mi vida se desvanezca
Remember when we were together
Recordaré los momentos que pasamos juntos
We were alone
Estábamos solos
And I was singing this song to you
Y te estaba cantando esta canción
I love you in a place
Te amo en un lugar
Where there's no space or time
Donde no hay espacio ni tiempo
I love you for my life
Te amo con mi vida
You're a friend of mine
Eres mi amiga
And when my life is over
Y cuando mi vida se desvanezca
Remember when we were together
Recordaré los momentos que pasamos juntos
We were alone
Estábamos solos
And I was singing this song to you
Y te estaba cantando esta canción
We were alone
Estábamos solos
And I was singing this song to you
Y te estaba cantando esta canción
We were alone
Estábamos solos
And I was singing this song, mm
Y estaba cantando esta canción, mm
Singing this song to you
Cantando esta canción
I've been so many places in my life and time
J'ai visité tellement d'endroits tout au long de ma vie
I've sung a lot of songs
J'ai chanté beaucoup de chansons
I've made some bad rhymes
J'ai fait des mauvaises rimes
I've acted out my life in stages
J'ai joué ma vie sur les scènes
With ten thousand people watching
En face de dix mille spectateurs
But we're alone now
Mais nous sommes seuls maintenant
And I'm singing this song to you
Et je te chante cette chanson
I know your image of me
Je connais l'image que tu as de moi
Is what I hoped to be
C'est ce que j'espérais être
I treated you unkindly
Je t'ai mal traitée
But darling, can't you see?
Mais chérie ne vois-tu pas ?
There's no one more important to me
Personne n’est plus important pour moi
Baby, can't you see through me?
Bébé, ne peux-tu pas voir à travers moi ?
'Cause we're alone now
Parce que nous sommes seuls maintenant
And I'm singing this song to you
Et je te chante cette chanson
You taught me precious secrets
Tu m'as enseigné les précieux secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing
D'un grand amour qui ne refuse rien
You came out in front when I was hiding
Tu es apparue devant moi quand je me cachais
Now I'm so much better
Maintenant je me sens beaucoup mieux
And if my words don't come together
Et si mes mots n’ont aucun sens
Listen to the melody
Écoute la mélodie
'Cause my love is in there hiding
Parce que mon amour est là, caché
I love you in a place
Je t'aimerais dans un endroit
Where there's no space or time
Où il n'existe ni espace ni temps
I love you for my life
Je t'aimerais toute ma vie
You're a friend of mine
Tu es mon ami
And when my life is over
Et quand ma vie sera finie
Remember when we were together
Rappelle-toi quand on était ensemble
We were alone
Nous étions seuls

I've been so many places in my life and time
Ich war schon an so vielen Orten in meinem Leben und meiner Zeit
I've sung a lot of songs
Ich habe eine Menge Lieder gesungen
I've made some bad rhymes
Ich habe einige schlechte Reime gemacht
I've acted out my life in stages
Ich habe mein Leben in Etappen durchgespielt
With ten thousand people watching
Mit zehntausend Menschen vor Augen
But we're alone now
Aber jetzt sind wir allein
And I'm singing this song to you
Und ich singe dieses Lied für dich
I know your image of me
Ich weiß, dein Bild von mir
Is what I hoped to be
ist, was ich zu sein hoffte
I treated you unkindly
Ich habe dich unfreundlich behandelt
But darling, can't you see?
Aber Liebling, siehst du es nicht?
There's no one more important to me
Es gibt niemanden, der mir wichtiger ist
Baby, can't you see through me?
Baby, kannst du mich nicht durchschauen?
'Cause we're alone now
Denn wir sind jetzt allein
And I'm singing this song to you
Und ich singe dieses Lied für dich
You taught me precious secrets
Du hast mich wertvolle Geheimnisse gelehrt
Of a true love withholding nothing
Von einer wahren Liebe, die nichts verbirgt
You came out in front when I was hiding
Du tratst hervor, als ich mich versteckte
Now I'm so much better
Jetzt geht es mir so viel besser
And if my words don't come together
Und wenn ich keine Worte finde
Listen to the melody
Hör die Melodie
'Cause my love is in there hiding
Denn meine Liebe ist darin versteckt
I love you in a place
Ich liebe dich an einem Ort
Where there's no space or time
Wo es weder Raum noch Zeit gibt
I love you for my life
Ich liebe dich wie mein Leben
You're a friend of mine
Du bist mein Freund
And when my life is over
Und wenn mein Leben vorbei ist
Remember when we were together
Weißt du noch, als wir zusammen waren?
We were alone
Wir waren allein
And I was singing this song to you
Und ich habe dieses Lied für dich gesungen
I love you in a place
Ich liebe dich an einem Ort
Where there's no space or time
Wo es weder Raum noch Zeit gibt
I love you for my life
Ich liebe dich wie mein Leben
You're a friend of mine
Du bist mein Freund
And when my life is over
Und wenn mein Leben vorbei ist
Remember when we were together
Weißt du noch, als wir zusammen waren?
We were alone
Wir waren allein
And I was singing this song to you
Und ich habe dieses Lied für dich gesungen
We were alone
Wir waren allein
And I was singing this song to you
Und ich habe dieses Lied für dich gesungen
We were alone
Wir waren allein
And I was singing this song, mm
Und ich habe dieses Lied gesungen, mm
Singing this song to you
Ich singe dieses Lied für dich
I've been so many places in my life and time
Sono stato in così tanti posti nella mia vita e nel mio tempo
I've sung a lot of songs
Ho cantato un sacco di canzoni
I've made some bad rhymes
Ho fatto delle brutte rime
I've acted out my life in stages
Ho recitato la mia vita su palcoscenici
With ten thousand people watching
Con diecimila persone che guardavano
But we're alone now
Ma ora siamo soli
And I'm singing this song to you
E sto cantando questa canzone per te
I know your image of me
So che la tua immagine di me
Is what I hoped to be
È quello che speravo di essere
I treated you unkindly
Ti ho trattato crudelmente
But darling, can't you see?
Ma tesoro, non riesci a vedere?
There's no one more important to me
Non c'è nessuno più importante per me
Baby, can't you see through me?
Baby, non riesci a vedere attraverso di me?
'Cause we're alone now
Perché ora siamo soli
And I'm singing this song to you
E sto cantando questa canzone per te
You taught me precious secrets
Mi hai insegnato preziosi segreti
Of a true love withholding nothing
Di un vero amore che non nasconde nulla
You came out in front when I was hiding
Sei uscito allo scoperto quando mi nascondevo
Now I'm so much better
Ora sto molto meglio
And if my words don't come together
E se le mie parole non si uniscono
Listen to the melody
Ascolta la melodia
'Cause my love is in there hiding
Perché il mio amore è lì nascosto
I love you in a place
Ti amo in un posto
Where there's no space or time
Dove non c'è spazio o tempo
I love you for my life
Ti amo per la mia vita
You're a friend of mine
Sei un mio amico
And when my life is over
E quando la mia vita sarà finita
Remember when we were together
Ricorda quando eravamo insieme
We were alone
Eravamo soli
And I was singing this song to you
E stavo cantando questa canzone per te
I love you in a place
Ti amo in un posto
Where there's no space or time
Dove non c'è spazio o tempo
I love you for my life
Ti amo per la mia vita

We were alone
Eravamo soli
