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.
Dime ¿porque lloras?
De felicidad
¿Y porque te ahogas?
Por la soledad
¿Y porque me tomas
Fuerte así, mis manos?
Y tus pensamientos
Te van llevando
Yo te quiero tanto
¿Y porque será?
Loco testarudo
No lo dudes más
Aunque en el futuro
Haya un muro enorme
Yo no tengo miedo
Quiero enamorarme
No me ames, porque pienses
Que parezco diferente
Tú no piensas que es lo justo
Ver pasar el tiempo juntos
No me ames, que comprendo
La mentira que sería
Si tu amor no merezco
No me ames, mas quédate otro día
No me ames, porque estoy perdido
Porque cambie el mundo, porque es el destino
Porque no se puede, somos un espejo
Y tú así serías lo que yo de mí reflejo
No me ames, para estar muriendo
Dentro de una guerra llena de arrepentimientos
No me ames, para estar en tierra, quiero alzar el vuelo
Con tu gran amor por el azul del cielo
No sé que decirte
Esa es la verdad
Si la gente quiere
Sabe lastimar
Tú y yo partiremos, ellos no se mueven
Pero en este cielo sola no me dejes
No me dejes, no me dejes
No me escuches, si te digo "no me ames"
No me dejes, no desarmes
Mi corazón con ese "no me ames"
No me ames, te lo ruego
Mi amargura déjame
Sabes bien, que no puedo
Que es inútil, que siempre te amare
No me ames, pues te hare sufrir
Con este corazón que se lleno de mil inviernos
No me ames, para así olvidarte de tus días grises
Quiero que me ames solo por amarme
No me ames, tú y yo volaremos
Uno con el otro y seguiremos siempre juntos
Este amor es como el sol que sale tras de la tormenta
Como dos cometas en la misma estela
(No me ames, no me ames, no me ames)
No me ames (no me ames, no me ames, no me ames)
No, no me ames (no me ames, no me ames, no me ames)
No me ames (no me ames, no me ames, no me ames)
No me ames (no me ames, no me ames, no me ames)
De felicidad

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
hhmmm... this song never fail to remind me of my previous girlfriend.. especially what we went thru before we split up.. still love her so much
so emotional... so sad... but it reminds of of my wacky high school days because this is what my group used to sing out loud in class.
anyone got a translation to english of this song?
here is the translation...
Dont love me" >> "You don't love me"
Tell me why you're crying... Of happiness. And why are you drowning? for loneliness Tell me why you take my hands so strongly, and let your thoughts carry you away
I love you so much And why is that? Crazy stubborn person, stop doubting it any longer Even though in the future there will be a huge wall I'm not afraid, I want to fall in love
Dont love me, because you think that I may appear different You dont think its right For us to see time go by together? Dont love me, I understand the lie that it would be If your love, I don't deserve, dont love me, just stay another day
Dont love me, because I am lost, Because I changed the world,Because its destiny Because it can't be, We both are like a mirror, And you would be my own reflection Don't love me, you would be dying Within a war full of regrets,dont love me to be on this Earth, I would like to throw your enormous love thru the blue sky.
(SHORT BREAK)
I dont know what to say to you, that's the truth When people want to, they know how to hurt You and I will depart, they would not move, But in this sky dont leave me alone
Dont leave me, dont leave me, dont listen to me If I say to you "dont love me" Dont let me. Do not disable my heart with that "Dont love me" Dont love me, I'm begging you, leave me with my bitternes You know well, that I can't, that its useless, That I will always love you
Dont love me,because I would make you suffer with this heart of mine that was filled with a thousand winters. Dont love me,so that way you can forget of your gray days. I want you to love me, just to love me Dont love me, you and I will fly, With with the other, and we will always be together This love is like the sun that comes out after the storm Like 2 comets on the same path
