Lyrics and translation
Original
Oh, sweet lady, running like a stream.
You don't look back because you know your hands are clean.
You make believe that the past was just a dream.
You make believe the past was just a dream.
Turn around, turn around, and I will sing for you a song.
And I don't know just where you've been, but you've been gone too long.
Oh, Eliza, said you must begin again, and all the roads that you have walked are coming to an end.
Well, I was your lover, but I thought I was your friend.
I loved you, but I thought I was your friend.
Turn around, oh, turn around, and I will sing for you a song.
And I don't know just where you've been, but you've been gone too long.
Oh, sweet lady, standing beside the sea.
Maybe you can find a little time to think of me.
Won't you please remember what I tried so hard to be?
Yeah, remember what I tried so hard to be.
So turn around, oh, turn around, and I will sing for you a song.
And I don't know just where you've been, but you've been gone too long.
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
You've been gone, gone for long.
Said you've been gone too long. Da, da, da, da, da.
Da, da, da, da. Gone, gone, gone. Gone for long, yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you
