A sOnG fOr YoU

I've been so many places in my life and time

I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme

I've acted out my life in stages

With ten thousand people watching

But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you



I know your image of me is what I hope to be, baby

I've treated you unkindly but girl can't you see

There's no one more important to me

So darling can't you please see through me

'cause we're alone now and I'm singin' my song for you



You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin'

You came out in front and I was hiding

But now I'm so much better so if my words don't come together

Listen to the melody cause my love's in there hiding



I love you in a place where there's no space or time

I love you for my life, 'cause you're a friend of mine

And when my life is over, remember when we were together

We were alone and I was singin' my song for you



I love you in a place where there's no space or time

I've loved you for my life, yes, you're a friend of mine

And when my life is over, remember when we were together

We were alone and I was singin' my song for you, yes

We were alone and I was singin' this song for you, baby

We were alone and I was singin' my song,

Singin' my song, singin' my song, singin' my song

Singin' my song

A Song For You (tradução)

Composição:LeOn RuSsEl

Uma canção para você


Eu estive em muitos lugares na minha vida e tempo
Eu cantei muitas canções, eu fiz muitas rimas ruins
Eu interpretei minha vida em palcos com dez mil pessoas
Assistindo
Mas nós estamos sozinhos agora e
Eu estou cantando uma canção para você
Eu sei que sua imagem de mim é o que eu espero ser,
Eu te tratei mal
Mas, garota, você não consegue ver isso?
Não tem ninguém mais importante pra mim
Então, querida, você não consegue ver através de mim?
Porque nós estamos sozinhos agora
E eu estou cantando minha canção pra você,
Você me ensinou segredos preciosos
A verdade retendo nada, você veio na frente
Quando eu estava me escondendo, mas agora eu estou muito melhor
Então, se minhas palavras não se juntam, ouça a melodia
Porque meu amor está escondido em algum lugar
Eu amo você em um lugar onde não tem espaço ou tempo,
Eu amo você pela minha vida
Você é minha amiga, e quando minha vida acabar
Lembre-se de quando nós estivemos juntos
Nós estávamos sozinhos e eu estava cantando minha canção para
Você
E quando minha vida acabar, lembre-se de quando nós estivemos
Juntos
Nós estávamos sozinhos e eu estava cantando minha canção para
Você
Para você

This briught tears to my eyes

[milyon1]

Man!!! I'm so happy someone reposted this version. I just love it. This song really carries such bittersweet emotion.  I think, I act; I laugh, I cry; I shout, I sit in silence. Taught me precious secrets...gets me everytime.

[donnkizz]

If there is a more soulful more plaintive more emotional performance of this anywhere i want to see it this is absolutely beautiful. This is what the word genius was invented for

[anneshuck]

"Now we're alone and I'm singing this song for you..."

[noiui]

although Leon wrote the song,,, look who got the audience!!

[1978blueGREEN]

@milyon1 You are so right. I feel as you do. Vivid description of all the emotions many of us have felt. The most touching part of the clip is realizing Leon and Willie let Ray keep goin', gave him the rest of the performance. When Willie tears up, it just kicks my own tears into high gear. Great song, great performance, much respect.

leon i love you

[RickToye]

There will never be another Ray Charles.

[kragberay]

If you'd not seen them before and watched em audition on America's got talent you'd be happy to see em booed off the stage. Awful.

[Libbertyone]

never has a song been more beautifully performed, even Willie cant hold those tears back

[twistcho]

orgasm to my ears

[sirboggs]

I can be anywhere. Work, on the road, on the lake, just anywhere and think of this performance and start to tear up. My little girl would ask me, "Daddy, why are you crying?" I dont think there's ever been a more soul-full, more from the heart, more passionate song,,,,ever. If there is, I have yet to hear it.
