Description
This song has a weary but bright tone, as if someone has finally taken off a heavy backpack and sat down on the ground, feeling that the sky is the same for everyone. It's not about saying goodbye, but about the rare honesty of being able to say to a friend: ‘Live as you wish, I'll find my own way, and if I fall, I'll call out to you.’
The music flows like a leisurely road: sun, wind, a little dust on your shoes. The words are simple but not empty, like ‘you're there, I'm here, but we'll meet anyway.’ There is no pathos here, only quiet gratitude that life goes on, even when you lose something. And suddenly it becomes warmer, as if a ray of light has caught your shoulder at the very turn of the road.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Go
I just had to take some time
Get back to what was mine
Get away from my sweet, crazy life
Hey, good buddy, it's been awhile (been awhile)
How are things for you up there? (For you up there)
This is all I need to know
I'm here, you are there now
Sorry that I have to say, it feels good to be alive
Go my way, nobody's gonna bring me down
If I get lost in the dark (in the dark)
Can you tell me what went wrong? (What went wrong?)
If I fall down in the dirt, can you lend a hand?
The sky is blue
The sun, it shines
It's the same for everyone
You and I will meet again
So, I won't say goodbye
Dear my friend
Now you have your freedom
Dear my friend
Can you hear, I'm calling, dear my friend?
What is love, what is happiness, what am I?
Past, present, and future
Life's going, life's going
If I get lost in the dark (in the dark)
Can you tell me what went wrong? (What went wrong)
If I fall down in the dirt
Can you lend a hand?
The sky is blue
The sun, it shines
It's the same for everyone
You and I will meet again
So, I won't say goodbye
Dear my friend
Now you have your freedom
Dear my friend
Can you hear, I'm calling, dear my friend?
Dear my friend
Now you have your freedom
Dear my friend, oh, dear my friend
Can you hear, I'm calling, dear my friend?
Ah-ah
Yeah-hey
