Cassandra by ABBA
Lyrics & Translation
English
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
Staying alive though the city is dead
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
While you are crying alone in your bed
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
But then again you were lost from the start
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
Now that your father and sister are gone
There is no reason for you to linger
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it but you know your fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra

Cassandra (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Abajo en la calle todos cantan y gritan
Manteniéndose vivos aunque la ciudad esté muerta
Escondiendo su vergüenza tras risas huecas
Mientras tú lloras sola en tu cama
Lástima Casandra que nadie te creyó
Pero de nuevo, estabas perdida desde el principio
Ahora debemos sufrir y vender nuestros secretos
Negociar, jugando astutos, con el corazón dolorido
Lo siento Casandra, no lo entendí
Ahora el último día amanece
Algunos de nosotros quisimos pero ninguno pudo
Escuchar las palabras de advertencia
Pero en la más oscura de las noches
Nadie supo cómo luchar
Y fuimos atrapados mientras dormíamos
Lo siento Casandra, no creí
Que realmente tuvieras el poder
Solo lo vi como sueños que tejerías
Hasta la hora final
Así que por la mañana tu barco zarpará
Ahora que tu padre y tu hermana se han ido
No hay razón para que te quedes
Estás sufriendo profundamente pero sigues adelante
Sabes que el futuro proyecta una sombra
Nadie más lo ve pero tú conoces tu destino
Empacando tus maletas, lenta y a fondo
Sabiendo, aunque llegues tarde, que el barco seguro esperará
Lo siento Casandra, no lo entendí
Ahora el último día amanece
Algunos de nosotros quisimos pero ninguno pudo
Escuchar las palabras de advertencia
Pero en la más oscura de las noches
Nadie supo cómo luchar
Y fuimos atrapados mientras dormíamos
Lo siento Casandra, no creí
Que realmente tuvieras el poder
Solo lo vi como sueños que tejerías
Hasta la hora final
Vi el barco salir del puerto al amanecer
Velas casi flojas bajo la fresca lluvia matinal
Ella estaba en cubierta, solo una pequeña figura
Rígida y contenida, ojos azules llenos de dolor
Lo siento Casandra, no lo entendí
Ahora el último día amanece
Algunos de nosotros quisimos pero ninguno pudo
Escuchar las palabras de advertencia
Pero en la más oscura de las noches
Nadie supo cómo luchar
Y fuimos atrapados mientras dormíamos
Lo siento Casandra, no creí
Que realmente tuvieras el poder
Solo lo vi como sueños que tejerías
Hasta la hora final
Lo siento Casandra
Lo siento Casandra
