Translation
Bilingual
For you dear, I was born
For you, I was raised up
ย
For you, I've lived and for you, I will die
For you, I'm dyin' now
ย
You were my mad little lover
In a world where everybody fucks everybody else over
You who are so far from me
ย
So far from me
Way across some cold neurotic sea
Far from me
ย
I would talk to you of all matter of things
With a smile you would reply
Then the sun would leave your pretty face
And you'd retreat from the front of your eyes
ย
It's good to hear you're doin' so well
But really, can't you find somebody else that you can ring and tell
ย
Did you ever care for me?
ย
Were you ever there for me?
ย
So far from me
ย
You told me you'd stick by me
Through the thick and through the thin
ย
Those were your very words
My fair-weather friend
ย
You were my brave-hearted lover
At the first taste of trouble went through running back to mother
So far from me
ย
Ah, so far from me
ย
Suspended in your bleak and fishless sea
Far from me
ย
Far from me
ย
Far from me
ย
