Don't Shut Me Down by ABBA
Lyrics & Translation
English
A while ago I heard the sound of children's laughter
Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park
This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour
The sun is going down, it's getting dark
I realize I'm cold
The rain begins to pour
As I watch the windows on the second floor
The lights are on, it's time to go
It's time at last to let him know
I believe it would be fair to say
You look bewildered
And you wonder why I'm here today
And so you should, I would
When I left I felt I'd had enough
But in the shape and form I appear now
I have learned to cope
And love and hope is why I am here now
And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
I'm not the one you knew
I'm now and then combined
And I'm asking you to have an open mind
I'm not the same this time around
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
Will you leave me standing in the hall
Or let me enter?
The apartment hasn't changed at all
I got to say I'm glad
Once these rooms were witness to our love
My tantrums and increasing frustration
But I go from mad
To not so bad in my transformation
And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
I'm not the one you knew
I'm now and then combined
And I'm asking you to have an open mind now
I'm not the same this time around
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
You asked me not to leave
Well, here I am again
And I love you still and so I won't pretend
I have learned to cope
And love and hope is why I am here now

Don't Shut Me Down (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Hace un rato oí el sonido de la risa de los niños
Ahora está tranquilo, así que supongo que se fueron del parque
Este banco de madera se está volviendo más duro con cada hora
El sol se está poniendo, está oscureciendo
Me doy cuenta de que tengo frío
La lluvia empieza a caer
Mientras miro las ventanas del segundo piso
Las luces están encendidas, es hora de irme
Es hora por fin de hacérselo saber
Creo que sería justo decir
Pareces desconcertado
Y te preguntas por qué estoy aquí hoy
Y así deberías, yo lo haría
Cuando me fui sentí que ya había tenido suficiente
Pero en la forma y el modo en que aparezco ahora
He aprendido a sobrellevarlo
Y el amor y la esperanza es por lo que estoy aquí ahora
Y ahora ves otra yo, he sido recargada, sí
Estoy encendida, no me apagues
Soy como un sueño dentro de un sueño que ha sido decodificado
Estoy encendida, estoy caliente, no me apagues
No soy la que conocías
Soy el ahora y el entonces combinados
Y te pido que tengas una mente abierta
No soy la misma esta vez
Estoy encendida, no me apagues
¿Me dejarás de pie en el pasillo
¿O me dejarás entrar?
El apartamento no ha cambiado en absoluto
Tengo que decir que me alegro
Una vez estas habitaciones fueron testigos de nuestro amor
Mis rabietas y creciente frustración
Pero paso de la locura
A no tan mal en mi transformación
Y ahora ves otra yo, he sido recargada, sí
Estoy encendida, no me apagues
Soy como un sueño dentro de un sueño que ha sido decodificado
Estoy encendida, estoy caliente, no me apagues
No soy la que conocías
Soy el ahora y el entonces combinados
Y te pido que tengas una mente abierta ahora
No soy la misma esta vez
Estoy encendida, no me apagues
Me pediste que no me fuera
Bueno, aquí estoy de nuevo
Y aún te amo y por eso no fingiré
He aprendido a sobrellevarlo
Y el amor y la esperanza es por lo que estoy aquí ahora
