Prisoners In Paradise by Europe
Lyrics & Translation
English
I want to learn how to fly
I want to be respected
I want to get lucky
I want to get out of this dump
I just want to watch TV
I want to be loved
I want to be different
I want a brother and sister
I'd just rather be forgotten
I want to save the world
I want to be understood
I want to be rich
Man, I just want to be somebody
Julie's got the word today
She lost her job just one last pay
Life don't come easy anymore
Still strugglin'on by herself
Got a picture of Jimmy
There on the shelf
And she looks at him and says
Why did we let it go
I know that sometimes baby
We didn't see things eye-to-eye
But I got just one question
Did we have to say goodbye
Just like prisoners in paradise
Still far from heaven's door
We had it all but still we
Wanted more
Now I realize that I can't
Turn back the future's here
To stay but hey
We're just children of tomorrow
Hangin' on to yesterday
Jimmy still recalls the night
When he took his guitar
And headed on out
To find the big time
That was his dream
He gave up his past
And made it alright
But there's something missin'
In his heart tonight
Sometimes what you want
Ain't what you need
He misses drivin' down
To the lake at night
Holdin' his baby
In his arms so tight
Ain't it hard to find illusions
When you're livin' in a memory
Just like prisoners in paradise
So close but yet so far
There will come a time
No matter who you are
When you ask yourself
Was it right or wrong
For me to turn away but hey
We're just children of tomorrow
Hangin' on to yesterday

Prisoners In Paradise (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Quiero aprender a volar
Quiero ser respetado
Quiero tener suerte
Quiero salir de este basurero
Solo quiero ver televisión
Quiero ser amado
Quiero ser diferente
Quiero un hermano y una hermana
Preferiría ser olvidado
Quiero salvar el mundo
Quiero ser comprendido
Quiero ser rico
Hombre, solo quiero ser alguien
Julie tiene la noticia hoy
Perdió su trabajo con el último pago
La vida ya no es fácil
Todavía luchando sola
Tiene una foto de Jimmy
Allí en el estante
Y ella lo mira y dice
¿Por qué lo dejamos ir?
Sé que a veces, cariño
No veíamos las cosas igual
Pero tengo solo una pregunta
¿Tuvimos que decir adiós?
Como prisioneros en el paraíso
Todavía lejos de la puerta del cielo
Lo teníamos todo pero aún así
Queríamos más
Ahora me doy cuenta de que no puedo
Volver atrás, el futuro está aquí
Para quedarse, pero hey
Somos solo hijos del mañana
Aferrándonos al ayer
Jimmy todavía recuerda la noche
Cuando tomó su guitarra
Y salió
Para encontrar el gran momento
Ese era su sueño
Renunció a su pasado
Y lo hizo bien
Pero falta algo
En su corazón esta noche
A veces lo que quieres
No es lo que necesitas
Extraña conducir
Al lago por la noche
Sosteniendo a su bebé
En sus brazos tan fuerte
¿No es difícil encontrar ilusiones
Cuando vives en un recuerdo?
Como prisioneros en el paraíso
Tan cerca pero tan lejos
Llegará un momento
No importa quién seas
Cuando te preguntes
¿Estuvo bien o mal
Que me alejara, pero hey
Somos solo hijos del mañana
Aferrándonos al ayer
