CLOSER EVERY DAY
(Tim Norell – Oson)
From “WHEN THE NIGHT CLOSES IN” (1985)
Will I see you tonight?
‘Cause the last time we met
We couldn’t talk alone
There’s no reason for lies
We don’t have to regret
We did nothing wrong
What happened between us was right
Tell me where will you be tonight?
Oh-oh
Come a little closer every day, yeah-yeah-yeah
Come a little closer every day
Come a little closer every day, yeah-yeah-yeah
Come a little closer every day
Maybe your friends gonna talk
When they see us again
What they talked before
It’s so easy to walk
We don’t have to explain
To them anymore
What happened between us was right
Tell me where will you be tonight?
Oh-oh
Come a little closer every day, yeah-yeah-yeah
Come a little closer every day
Come a little closer every day, yeah-yeah-yeah
Come a little closer every day
Вроде бы расхождений с официальным сайтом нет. "Подозрительное" место
will you be оставили без изменений. Ещё меня чуть-чуть озадачила строка
There’s no reason for lies - её запросто можно расслышать как
There’s the reason for lies. Несомненно, это талант - спеть так, чтобы фразу можно было понять с прямо противоположным смыслом.
FEEL YOU NEAR ME
(Tim Norell – Oson)
From “WHEN THE NIGHT CLOSES IN” (1985)
Just been walking round in circles
Nothing’s happened for too long
Haven’t been around at all
Don’t know what’s going on
A day will soon be over
A day just like the day before
Why go on just wasting time
When we’re longing for more
Do you care
I can feel you
Near me
I can feel you
There’ve been times I tried to call you
And times I’ve tried to write
But I just looked into the dark
All through the night
Why should I go on pretending
Go on and play this game
I’ve tried I can’t forget you
Do you feel the same
Do you care
I can feel you
Near me
I can feel you
Feel you
Near me
Несколько поправок с официального сайта:
Just been walk around in circles
На официальном сайте исправили на
Just been walk round in circles
что не соответствует слышимому. Поэтому предлагаю вариант
Just been walking round in circles
That day will soon be over ->
A day will soon be over
Why go on just waist your time ->
Why go on just wasting time
All we’re longing for more ->
When we’re longing for more
I can feel ->
I can feel you
And times I tried to write ->
And times I’ve tried to write
JUST A FRIEND FOR THE NIGHT
(Tim Norell – Oson)
From “WHEN THE NIGHT CLOSES IN” (1985)
When I close my eyes
I can still recall at night
I just close my eyes and turn,
Turning out the light
Darkness brings you back in sight
Why did you have to go?
Won’t memories of the night
Show up in a dream that won’t come true
Things that lovers do can’t make me
Just a friend for the night
‘Til darkness turns into light
How can I hide my tears when I cry?
When I close my eyes
I hear your voice call my name
I just close my eyes and try,
Try to hear again
Deep inside your words remain
Now when you are gone
Three words have left my life
I only use them when I write a song
Words that lovers use can’t make me
Just a friend for the night
‘Til darkness turns into light
How can I hide my tears when I cry?
Исправления, сделанные на официальном сайте:
Woke memories of the night
Sure I feed a dream that won’t come true ->
Won’t memories of the night
Show up in a dream that won’t come true
Я не до конца уверен, что этот вариант с официального сайта правилен грамматически. Или это вопросительная форма?
Things all lovers do can make me ->
Things that lovers do can’t make me
А также
Words all lovers use can make me ->
Words that lovers use can’t make me
По поводу
all -> that сомнений нет. А вот насчёт
can -> can't... От такой замены, как мне кажется, теряется весь смысл фразы, да и песни тоже. Прослушивание, как обычно, не позволяет склониться к одному из вариантов: при желании там можно услышать и то, и то.
I hear your voice call my name
На официальном сайте приведено:
I hear you voice, you call my name
Слова
you перед
call я не услышал, сколько ни вслушивался.
Deep inside words remain ->
Deep inside your words remain
А вот здесь, похоже, недостающее слово в песне действительно есть.
