Norah Jones - Don`t Know Why

I waited `til I saw the sun
해가 뜰 때까지 기다렸어요.
I don`t know why I didn`t come
내가 왜 가지 않았는지 모르겠어요.
I left you by the house of fun
즐거운 집에 당신을 두고 떠나버렸죠.
I don`t know why I didn`t come
내가 왜 가지 않았는지 모르겠어요.
I don`t know why I didn`t come
내가 왜 가지 않았는지 모르겠어요.

When I saw the break of day
새벽에 해가 떠오를 때
I wished that I could fly away
내가 날아가버리길 바랬죠.
Instead of kneeling in the sand
모래에 무릎을 꿇는 대신
Catching teardrops in my hand
내 손의 눈물을 받아내며 말예요.

My heart is drenched in wine
내 마음은 와인에 담겼어요.
But you`ll be on my mind
하지만 당신은 내 마음위에 있을 거예요.
Forever
영원히.

Out across the endless sea
끝없는 바다를 가로질러
I would die in ecstasy
환희속에서 죽을거에요.
But I`ll be a bag of bones
하지만 난 뼈만 앙상히 남겠죠.
Driving down the road alone
도로 위에 홀로 버려진 채.

My heart is drenched in wine
내 마음은 와인에 담겼어요.
But you`ll be on my mind
하지만 당신은 내 마음위에 있을 거예요.
Forever
영원히.

Something has to make you run
무언가가 당신을 멀어지게 해요.
I don`t know why I didn`t come
내가 왜 가지 않았는지 모르겠어요.
I feel as empty as a drum
난 북처럼 텅 빈 것 같아요.
I don`t know why I didn`t come
내가 왜 가지 않았는지 모르겠어요.
I don`t know why I didn`t come
내가 왜 가지 않았는지 모르겠어요.
I don`t know why I didn`t come
내가 왜 가지 않았는지 모르겠어요.

Norah Jones is such an incredible singer! She is one of the artists that I try to mold myself after. Her voice is so sexy and sultry! :) I recently made a cover of "Don't know Why" :) If anyone has a second I would love some constructive criticism!

Healthy talented and still around. Reminds me how a talent like Winehouse just wasted it all.

Anyone else fall in love at 0:08 seconds ?

I always thought it was call not come and house phone not house of fun. My version is better.

i don't know why most people don't want fulfillment, people aren't fulfilled with what they are doing now so why not consider the most accurate explanation of the truth of life out there today?

go to Truthcontestxcom and read THE PRESENT  if you do want fulfillment

"She sings like she invented singing" I love that, and it is so true.!
