When I'm Gone by Eminem
Lyrics & Translation
English
Yeah...
It's my life...
In my own words I guess...
Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
But what happens when karma turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
"Daddy, look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane
"Daddy, where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
I don't know go play, Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gon' write itself
I'll give you one underdog and you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
That's Slim Shady, yeah, baby, Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rock-a-by baby...
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing,
So, baby, don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing,
So, baby, don't feel no pain
Just smile back...
I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
"You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more. "Daddy, you're lying.
You always say that, you always say this is the last time
But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy, you're mine."
She's piling boxes in front of the door tryna block it
"Daddy, please, Daddy, don't leave, Daddy, no, stop it!"
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It's got a picture, "This'll keep you safe, Daddy, take it with you."
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
These fucking walls must be talking, 'cause man I can hear 'em
They're saying, "You've got one more chance to do right, and it's tonight.
Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em 'fore it's too late."
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
It turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
And I'm singing...
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing,
So, baby, don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing,
So, baby, don't feel no pain
Just smile back...
Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
"Daddy, it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding."
But, baby, we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
"I followed you, Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'.
"You lied to me, Dad, and now you made Mommy sad.
And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'.
That's all I wanted, I just wanna give you this coin.
I get the point. Fine. Me and Mommy are going."
But, baby, wait.
"It's too late, Dad, you made your choice.
Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us."
That's what they want, they want you Marshall
They keep screamin' your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me?
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain, scream, "Die Shady!" and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes,
The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes
And burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
It's spring and Hailie's outside swinging,
I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
Tell her I miss her,
Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing,
So, baby, don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing,
So, baby, don't feel no pain
Just smile back...

When I'm Gone (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Sí...
Es mi vida...
En mis propias palabras, supongo...
¿Alguna vez amaste a alguien tanto que darías un brazo por él?
No la expresión, no, ¿literalmente darías un brazo por él?
Cuando saben que son tu corazón
Y sabes que fuiste su armadura
Y destruirás a cualquiera que intente dañarla
¿Pero qué pasa cuando el karma da la vuelta y te muerde?
¿Y todo lo que representas se vuelve contra ti para fastidiarte?
¿Qué pasa cuando te conviertes en la principal fuente de su dolor?
"Papi, mira lo que hice", Papi tiene que ir a tomar un avión
"Papi, ¿dónde está Mami? No encuentro a Mami, ¿dónde está?"
No sé, ve a jugar, Hailie, cariño, tu Papi está ocupado
Papi está escribiendo una canción, esta canción no se va a escribir sola
Te daré un desvalido y tendrás que balancearte sola
Luego da la vuelta en esa canción y dile que la amas
Y ponle las manos encima a su madre, que es su viva imagen
Ese es Slim Shady, sí, cariño, Slim Shady está loco
Shady me hizo, pero esta noche Shady es un bebé arrullado...
Y cuando me haya ido, sigue adelante, no llores
Alégrate cada vez que escuches el sonido de mi voz
Solo sabe que te estoy mirando desde arriba sonriendo
Y no sentí nada,
Así que, cariño, no sientas dolor
Solo sonríe de vuelta
Y cuando me haya ido, sigue adelante, no llores
Alégrate cada vez que escuches el sonido de mi voz
Solo sabe que te estoy mirando desde arriba sonriendo
Y no sentí nada,
Así que, cariño, no sientas dolor
Solo sonríe de vuelta...
Sigo teniendo este sueño, estoy empujando a Hailie en el columpio
Ella sigue gritando, no quiere que cante
"Estás haciendo llorar a Mami, ¿por qué? ¿Por qué está llorando Mami?"
Cariño, Papi no se va más. "Papi, estás mintiendo.
Siempre dices eso, siempre dices que esta es la última vez
Pero no te vas más, Papi, eres mío."
Ella está apilando cajas frente a la puerta intentando bloquearla
"Papi, por favor, Papi, no te vayas, Papi, no, ¡detente!"
Va a su bolsillo, saca un pequeño medallón de collar
Tiene una foto, "Esto te mantendrá a salvo, Papi, llévatelo contigo."
Miro hacia arriba, solo soy yo de pie en el espejo
Estas malditas paredes deben estar hablando, porque hombre, puedo oírlas
Están diciendo, "Tienes una oportunidad más para hacer lo correcto, y es esta noche.
Ahora sal y muéstrales que los amas antes de que sea demasiado tarde."
Y justo cuando voy a salir por la puerta de mi habitación
Se convierte en un escenario, se han ido, y este foco está encendido
Y estoy cantando...
Y cuando me haya ido, sigue adelante, no llores
Alégrate cada vez que escuches el sonido de mi voz
Solo sabe que te estoy mirando desde arriba sonriendo
Y no sentí nada,
Así que, cariño, no sientas dolor
Solo sonríe de vuelta
Y cuando me haya ido, sigue adelante, no llores
Alégrate cada vez que escuches el sonido de mi voz
Solo sabe que te estoy mirando desde arriba sonriendo
Y no sentí nada,
Así que, cariño, no sientas dolor
Solo sonríe de vuelta...
Sesenta mil personas, todas saltando de sus asientos
El telón se cierra, están lanzando rosas a mis pies
Hago una reverencia y les agradezco a todos por venir
Están gritando tan fuerte, doy un último vistazo a la multitud
Miro hacia abajo, no puedo creer lo que estoy viendo
"Papi, soy yo, ayuda a Mami, sus muñecas están sangrando."
Pero, cariño, estamos en Suecia, ¿cómo llegaste a Suecia?
"Te seguí, Papi, me dijiste que no te ibas.
"Me mentiste, Papá, y ahora hiciste que Mami se pusiera triste.
Y te compré esta moneda, dice 'Papá Número Uno'.
Eso es todo lo que quería, solo quiero darte esta moneda.
Entiendo el punto. Bien. Mami y yo nos vamos."
Pero, cariño, espera.
"Es demasiado tarde, Papá, tomaste tu decisión.
Ahora sube ahí y muéstrales que los amas más que a nosotros."
Eso es lo que quieren, te quieren a ti, Marshall
Siguen gritando tu nombre
No es de extrañar que no puedas dormir, solo toma otra pastilla
Sí, apuesto a que lo harás. Rapeas sobre eso, sí, palabra, mantente real
Escucho aplausos, todo este tiempo no pude ver
¿Cómo podría ser, que el telón se está cerrando sobre mí?
Me doy la vuelta, encuentro un arma en el suelo, la amartillo
Me la pongo en el cerebro, grito, "¡Muere Shady!" y la disparo
El cielo se oscurece, mi vida pasa en un instante,
El avión en el que se suponía que debía estar se estrella
Y se quema hasta las cenizas
Ahí es cuando me despierto, el despertador suena, hay pájaros cantando
Es primavera y Hailie está afuera columpiándose,
Me acerco a Kim y la beso
Le digo que la extraño,
Hailie solo sonríe y le guiña un ojo a su hermana pequeña
Casi como para decir
Y cuando me haya ido, sigue adelante, no llores
Alégrate cada vez que escuches el sonido de mi voz
Solo sabe que te estoy mirando desde arriba sonriendo
Y no sentí nada,
Así que, cariño, no sientas dolor
Solo sonríe de vuelta
Y cuando me haya ido, sigue adelante, no llores
Alégrate cada vez que escuches el sonido de mi voz
Solo sabe que te estoy mirando desde arriba sonriendo
Y no sentí nada,
Así que, cariño, no sientas dolor
Solo sonríe de vuelta...
