Dúvida sobre a música 'Carry You Home - James Blunt'

Olá Mr.Jolimar,

A tradução está equivocada,prefira:

As strong you as you are.(Por mais forte que seja.)
Tender you go.(Afetuosa você vai.)/(Afetuosamente você se vai.)

As strong as you are,
Tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
For the last time
A song for your heart,
But when it is quiet,
I know what it means
And I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home

Bons estudos!

Obrigado! Mendonça.

Carry You Home - James Blunt

Trouble is her only friend, and he's back again
Makes her body older than it really is
And she says it's high time she went away,
No one's got much to say in this town
Trouble is the only way is down, down down

As strong as you were, tender you go
I'm watching you breathing, for the last time
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet
I know what it means and I'll carry you home,
I'll carry you home.

If she had wings she would fly away
And another day God will give her some
Trouble is the only way is down, down down.

As strong as you were, tender you go
I'm watching you breathing, for the last time
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet
I know what it means and I'll carry you home,
I'll carry you home.

And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight
Under the stars and stripes

As strong as you were, tender you go
I'm watching you breathing, for the last time
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet
I know what it means and I'll carry you home,
I'll carry you home. (X2)

I'll carry you home = Vou te levar pra casa

Olá, pessoal.
Minha dúvida sobre esta música de James Blunt é o significado de pretty neste contexto:

And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight
Under the stars and stripes.

Thanks!

Rodrigo,
Pretty, nesse caso, é o predicativo do sujeito. Logo, é um adjetivo e que significa lindo, bonito.

Rodrigo, é isso mesmo que o Vitor disse. Só para dar um passinho além: lembre-se de que James Blunt é super poético e lança mão de várias figuras de linguagem para se expressar - então, cabe uma interpretação em cima do que é "lindo, bonito". Pode viajar na hora de imaginar o significado!

Hope that helps!

Carry You Home
James Blunt

Trouble is her only friend and he's back again.
Makes her body older than it really is.
She says it's high time she went away,
No one's got much to say in this town.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.

Strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.

If she had wings she would fly away,
And another day God will give her some.
Trouble is the only way is down,
Down, down.

Strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.

And they were all born pretty in New York City lights,
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight,
Under the Stars and Stripes.

Strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.

Nesta música qual é o significado das palavras ´down´e ´stripes´?

O que quer dizer estes versos: ´and they were all born pretty in New York city lights´e ´and someone´s little girl was taken from the world tonight´?

Milamilis,

Minha contribuição:

they were all born pretty in New York city lights: todos eles nasceram nas luzes de Nova Iorque.
someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight: a garotinha de alguém foi tirada deste mundo hoje.

Faltou responder o que significa ´down´e ´stripes´neste contexto. Obrigada!!!

Milamilis,

Trouble is the only way is down.
O pior de tudo são os problemas.

Under the stars and stripes.
Sob a bandeira americana.


Boa sorte!

Donay, não entendi a sua tradução, poderia explicar o que indica 'o pior de tudo' nesta frase? É uma expressão?

Thanks in advance.

Ravenna,

Na verdade, fiz uma interpretação de toda a sentença "trouble is the only way is down"; sem um profundo conhecimento da expressão, a impressão mais segura que tive é esta: temos vários desafios em nossas vidas, muita coisa para aprender, conquistar, etc porém, tudo isso seria mais simples sem "trouble".

Veja um comentário interessante:

"Trouble is the only way is down. Down, down."
Pergunta: What does it exactly mean?

Resposta: It's poetic, in the sense that you have to think about these words and try to find the meaning yourself.Perhaps it means that trouble brings your happiness down to a lower level. What do you think? It's also incorrect grammar, but we allow poetry to break the normal rules of grammar.

Best wishes, Clive
