Lyrics Translated by alan
You, Tu,
You know how to get me so low Sabes como como deprimerme
My heart had a crash when we spoke Mi corazón chocó cuando hablamos
I can't fix what you broke No puedo arreglar lo que rompiste
And you, Y tu,
You always have a reason Siempres tienes un motivo
Again and again, this feeling Una y o otra vez, este sentimiento
Why do I give in? Porque me doy por vencida?
And I always was Y yo siempre era
Oh always Ay siempre
Was one for crying Era un llorana
I always was one for tears Siempre me viene las lagrimas
CHORUS
The sun's getting cold it's snowing El sol hace frío y está nevando
Looks like an early winter Parece que falta poco para el invierno
For us Para nosotros
Looks like an early winter Parece que falta pco para el invierno
For us Para nosotros
An early winter Falta poco para el invierno
Oh, I need you to turn me over Necesito que me des la vuelta
It's said, Se dice
The map of the world is on you El mapa del mundo está sobre ti
The moon gravitates around you La luna gravita alrededor de ti
The seasons escape you Las estaciones se te escapan
And I always was Y yo siempre era
Oh always Ay siempre
Was one for crying Lloraba
I always was one for tears Siempre me viene las lagrimas
No, I never was No, nunca era
Oh never Nunca
One for lying Alguien para mentir
You lied to me Me mentiste
All these years Todos estos años
CHORUS
The sun's getting cold it's snowing " " "
Looks like an early winter
For us
Looks like an early winter " " "
For us
An early winter
Oh, I need you to turn me over " " "
Whyyyyyyyy? Porque
Why do you act so stupid? Porque eres tan idiota
Oh, whyyyyyy? Porque
You know that I'm always right Sabes que siempre tengo la razón
It looks like an early winter Parcece que el invierno que se acerca
For us Para nosotros
It hurts and I can't remember Duele y no me acuerdo
Sunlight La luz del sol
An early winter Un invierno que se acera
For us Para nosotros
The leaves are changing color Las hojas están cambiando de color
For us Para nosotros
REPEAT SEVERALL TIMES:
It gets too much Es demasiado
It gets so much Es insoportable
Starting over and over and over again... Empezar de nuevo una y otra vez
In this song by Simple plan, they sing "Gone too soon"

Lyrics Translated by ajm
Hey there now Oye
Where did you go Donde te has ido
You left me here Me dejaste aquí
so unexpected tan inesperado
You changed my life Me cambiaste la vida
I hope you know Espero que lo sepas
Cause now I'm lost Que ahora estoy perdido
So unprotected Tan indefenso
In a blink of an eye En un abrir y cerrar de ojos
I never got to say goodbye Nunca te dije adiós
Like a shooting star Como una estrella fugaz
Flying across the room Volando por la habitación
So fast so far Tan rapido tan lejos
You were gone too soon Te fuiste demasiado pronto
You're part of me Eres parte de mi
And I'll never be Y nunca seré
The same here without you El mismo sin ti
You were gone too soon Te fuiste demasiado pronto
You were always there Siempre estabas allí
And like shining light Como una luz brillante
On my darkest days En mis días mas obscuros
You were there to guide me Estabas allí para guiarme
Oh I miss you now Ay ahora te hecho de menos
I wish you could see Ojala pudiera ver
Just how much your memory Cuanto de tus recuerdos
Will always mean to me Siempre significará para mi
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/simple_plan/gone_too_soon.html ]
