Good morning! A friend of mine asked me to translate this song "Low Rising" (beautiful song by the way) and told me I should take my time so I am doing it little by little as I am busy doing other things right now. Anyway, what does the singer mean when he says "I wanna tear these curtains down"? What message is he trying to convey? How would say this in Portuguese? (I wouldn't want to translate it literally).
Thanks a bunch!
I wanna sit you down and talk
I wanna pull back the veils
And find out what it is I´ve done wrong
**I wanna tear these curtains down**
I want you to meet me somewhere
Tonight in this old tourist town
And we´ll go
Low rising
´Cause we´ve gotta come up
We´ve gotta come up
Low rising
´Cause I fear we´ve had enough
Low rising
´Cause there´s no further for us to fall
Low rising
Oh for the love of you
I wanna take you to the rock
I wanna jump right in
And see what that big ocean´s got
I wanna turn this thing around
I wanna drink with you
All night till we both fall down
Till we go
Low rising
´Cause we´ve gotta come up
We´ve gotta come up
Low rising
´Cause there´s no further for us to fall
Low rising
And I fear we´ve had enough
Low rising
Oh for the love of you
Low rising
´Cause we´ve gotta come up
We´ve gotta come up
Low rising
And I fear we´ve had enough
Low rising
´Cause there´s no further for us to fall
Low Rising
Oh for the love of you
For the love of you
Low rising low rising
I wanna sit you down and talk
I wanna sit you down and talk about it now
Thanks a bunch!
