Dear John by Taylor Swift
Lyrics & Translation
English
Long were the nights
When my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps
Praying the floor won't fall through
Again
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules every day
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone tonight
Well, I stopped pickin' up, and this song is to let you know why
Dear John
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home
I should've known
Well, maybe it's me
And my blind optimism
To blame
Or maybe it's you and your sick need
To give love then take it away
And you'll add my name
To your long list of traitors
Who don't understand
And I look back in regret
How I ignored when they said
"Run as fast as you can."
Dear John
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home
Dear John
I see it all now. It was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played
By your dark twisted games?
When I loved you so
I should've known
You are an expert at "Sorry"
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry
Have tired lifeless eyes
'Cause you've burned them out
But I took your matches
Before fire could catch me
So, don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town
Dear John
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Wrote you a song
You should've known
You should've known
Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known

Dear John (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Largas fueron las noches
Cuando mis días giraban en torno a ti
Contando mis pasos
Rezando para que el suelo no se derrumbara
Otra vez
Y mi madre me acusó de perder la cabeza
Pero juré que estaba bien
Me pintas un cielo azul
Y vuelves y lo conviertes en lluvia
Y viví en tu juego de ajedrez
Pero cambiabas las reglas cada día
Preguntándome qué versión tuya podría encontrar al teléfono esta noche
Bueno, dejé de contestar, y esta canción es para que sepas por qué
Querido John
Lo veo todo ahora que te has ido
¿No crees que era demasiado joven para que jugaran
Conmigo?
La chica del vestido
Lloró todo el camino a casa
Debí haberlo sabido
Bueno, quizás soy yo
Y mi optimismo ciego
A quien culpar
O quizás eres tú y tu enferma necesidad
De dar amor y luego quitarlo
Y añadirás mi nombre
A tu larga lista de traidores
Que no entienden
Y miro atrás con arrepentimiento
Cómo ignoré cuando dijeron
"Corre tan rápido como puedas."
Querido John
Lo veo todo ahora que te has ido
¿No crees que era demasiado joven para que jugaran
Conmigo?
La chica del vestido
Lloró todo el camino a casa
Querido John
Lo veo todo ahora. Estuvo mal
¿No crees que diecinueve es demasiado joven para ser manipulada
Por tus oscuros y retorcidos juegos?
Cuando te amaba tanto
Debí haberlo sabido
Eres un experto en "Lo siento"
Y en mantener las líneas borrosas
Nunca impresionado por mí superando tus pruebas
Todas las chicas que has agotado
Tienen ojos cansados y sin vida
Porque las has quemado
Pero yo tomé tus cerillas
Antes de que el fuego pudiera atraparme
Así que, no mires ahora
Estoy brillando como fuegos artificiales
Sobre tu triste y vacía ciudad
Querido John
Lo veo todo ahora que te has ido
¿No crees que era demasiado joven para que jugaran
Conmigo?
La chica del vestido
Lloró todo el camino a casa
Lo veo todo ahora que te has ido
¿No crees que era demasiado joven para que jugaran
Conmigo?
La chica del vestido
Te escribió una canción
Debiste haberlo sabido
Debiste haberlo sabido
¿No crees que era demasiado joven?
Debiste haberlo sabido
