The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Jamas sentí en el alma tanto amor
y nadie mas que tu, me amo
Por ti reí y llore, renací también
Lo que tuve di, por tenerte aquí
Ya se que despedirnos es mejor
Sufriendo pagare mi error
Ya nada sera igual, lo tengo que aceptar
Ya hallar la fuerza en mi para este adiós
Aléjate, no puedo mas
Ya no hay manera de volver el tiempo atrás
Olvídate de mi
y déjame seguir a solas con mi soledad
Aléjate, ya dime adiós
y me resignare a seguir sin tu calor
y jamas entedere que fue lo que paso
Si nada puedo hacer, aléjate
No voy a arrepentirme del ayer
Amándote y se, mujer
Por el amor aquel, por serte siempre fiel
Hoy tengo que ser fuerte y aprender
Aléjate, no puedo mas
Ya no hay manera de volver el tiempo atrás
Olvídate de mi
y déjame seguir a solas con mi soledad
Aléjate, ya dime adiós
y me resignara seguir sin tu calor
y jamas entedere que fue lo que paso
Si nada puedo hacer, aléjate
Aléjate, no puedo mas
Ya no hay manera de volver el tiempo atrás
Olvídate de mi
y déjame seguir a solas con mi soledad
Aléjate, ya dime adiós
y me resignara seguir sin tu calor
y jamas entedere que fue lo que paso
Si nada puedo hacer, aléjate
y nadie mas que tu, me amo
Por ti reí y llore, renací también
Lo que tuve di, por tenerte aquí
Ya se que despedirnos es mejor
Sufriendo pagare mi error
Ya nada sera igual, lo tengo que aceptar
Ya hallar la fuerza en mi para este adiós
Aléjate, no puedo mas
Ya no hay manera de volver el tiempo atrás
Olvídate de mi
y déjame seguir a solas con mi soledad
Aléjate, ya dime adiós
y me resignare a seguir sin tu calor
y jamas entedere que fue lo que paso
Si nada puedo hacer, aléjate
No voy a arrepentirme del ayer
Amándote y se, mujer
Por el amor aquel, por serte siempre fiel
Hoy tengo que ser fuerte y aprender
Aléjate, no puedo mas
Ya no hay manera de volver el tiempo atrás
Olvídate de mi
y déjame seguir a solas con mi soledad
Aléjate, ya dime adiós
y me resignara seguir sin tu calor
y jamas entedere que fue lo que paso
Si nada puedo hacer, aléjate
Aléjate, no puedo mas
Ya no hay manera de volver el tiempo atrás
Olvídate de mi
y déjame seguir a solas con mi soledad
Aléjate, ya dime adiós
y me resignara seguir sin tu calor
y jamas entedere que fue lo que paso
Si nada puedo hacer, aléjate

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Translation for "Aléjate":
I never felt so much love in my soul And no one loved me more than you did For you I laughed and cried, and was reborn I gave all I have to keep you here I know that saying goodbye is best Suffering, I will pay for my mistake And nothing will be the same. I have to accept it And find the strength in me for this goodbye
Just walk away. I cannot bear it anymore There’s no way to go back in time Forget me And let me go on alone with my solitude Just walk away, tell me goodbye And I will resign myself to going on without your warmth And I will never understand what happened If there's nothing I can do, just walk away
I’m not going to repent for yesterday I loved you, woman For that love, for always being faithful Today I have to be strong and learn
Just walk away. I cannot bear it anymore There’s no way to go back in time Forget me And let me go on alone with my solitude Just walk away, tell me goodbye And I will resign myself to going on without your warmth And I will never understand what happened If there's nothing I can do, just walk away
Just walk away. I cannot bear it anymore There’s no way to go back in time Forget me And let me go on alone with my solitude Just walk away, tell me goodbye And I will resign myself to going on without your warmth And I will never understand what happened If there's nothing I can do, just walk away
