🎶Lyrics 🎶
Listen to me, there’s someone that I could be
Listen to me, is there no one who believes
In this brown-eyed girl and her stupid dreams
Spent all night writing lines that won’t ever be seen
I know it’s not a lot, but it’s all I’ve got
Stark and cold, to the bone, but it’s all my own
Something born from the noise and from the silence
What can I say
If I’m not great, then I won’t do
What can I say
So that I don’t hate me too
All the things that I wish I could say, if I just had the words
Oh the things that I wish I could say, if they’d ever be heard
I know it’s not that much, but it’s all I’ve got
Might have gone off the lines
Might not rhyme, but it’s done
Saw me cry and thought I’d just give up, well tough
I know I’m nothing but I’ll give all I’ve got
And when everyone leaves, all that’s left is my dream
It’s not lost in the noise, or in the silence
Stay with me please
Stay with me for a little while
I’m sorry that you couldn’t save me this time
If you loved me again it won’t mend what’s breaking my heart
If it’s the end, then my friend, don’t forget, you were my favourite part
I know it’s not enough, but it’s all I’ve got
Stark and cold, to the bone
Ashamed and alone
In the dark, in the stars
In the calm and the storm
This love is mine, not yours
And my lines and my words
Will be seen, will be heard
And this dream, it won’t burn
You’ll remember this brown eyed girl
Elena as a bilingual Canadian, I really have to give you high praise for this arrangement. Thank you for avoiding the pitfall of trying to make the direct translation work musically. You reworked the lyrics to make a great piece. Now! Your voice is lovely, so pure, and licks/runs would detract from hearing the quality of your voice. Well done.

Great job!

Very very very beautiful, honestly but….. it’s not a true translation.
There are other great singers who translate it truly and beautifully.
Thanks!:) It's just an interpretation, not a direct word-for-word translation x
Very nice interpretation!
