When Doves Cry
Prince Rogers Nelson
Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers G
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
A nigga like me strikes curious poses
I feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
Now you've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase
Even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in world that's so cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my mother (Maybe I'm just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (Why?)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Maybe I'm just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream at each other?)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Dig if you will the picture
Imagina si puedes la imagen
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
De tú y yo en un beso
The sweat of your body covers G
El sudor de tu cuerpo cubre a G
Can you my darling
¿Puedes, mi amor?
Can you picture this?
¿Puedes imaginar esto?
Dream if you can a courtyard
Sueña si puedes con un patio
An ocean of violets in bloom
Un océano de violetas en flor
A nigga like me strikes curious poses
Un negro como yo adopta poses curiosas
I feel the heat
Siento el calor
The heat between me and you
El calor entre tú y yo
How can you just leave me standing?
¿Cómo puedes dejarme solo?
Alone in a world that's so cold?
¿Solo en un mundo tan frío?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Quizás soy demasiado exigente
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Quizás soy como mi padre, demasiado audaz
Maybe I'm just like my mother
Quizás soy como mi madre
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Ella nunca está satisfecha (nunca está satisfecha)
Why do we scream at each other?
¿Por qué nos gritamos el uno al otro?
This is what it sounds like
Así es como suena
When doves cry
Cuando las palomas lloran
Touch if you will my stomach
Toca si puedes mi estómago
Feel how it trembles inside
Siente cómo tiembla por dentro
Now you've got the butterflies all tied up
Ahora tienes las mariposas todas atadas
Don't make me chase
No me hagas perseguir
Even doves have pride
Incluso las palomas tienen orgullo
How can you just leave me standing?
¿Cómo puedes dejarme solo?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
¿Solo en un mundo tan frío? (Mundo tan frío)
Maybe I'm just too demanding

An ocean of violets in bloom
Um oceano de violetas em flor
A nigga like me strikes curious poses

The heat between me and you
O calor entre eu e você
How can you just leave me standing?
Como você pode simplesmente me deixar parado?

É assim que soa
When doves cry
Quando as pombas choram
Touch if you will my stomach
Toque, se puder, meu estômago
Feel how it trembles inside
Sinta como ele treme por dentro
Now you've got the butterflies all tied up
Agora você tem as borboletas todas amarradas
Don't make me chase
Não me faça correr atrás
Even doves have pride
Até as pombas têm orgulho
How can you just leave me standing?

When doves cry
Wenn Tauben weinen
Touch if you will my stomach
Berühre, wenn du willst, meinen Bauch
Feel how it trembles inside
Spüre, wie er innen zittert
Now you've got the butterflies all tied up
Jetzt hast du die Schmetterlinge alle gefesselt
