Chris De Burgh - Last Night Lyrics
Last night I was walking through the harbour,
Where the fishing boats are lying on the shore,
The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be,
Where the mayor was making a speech,
And the crowd started cheering,
And the boys coming home from the war;
Last night, they were dancing in the streets,
And making music in the alleyways and bars,
From a house down in the old town came the sound of guitars,
Margarita was waiting inside,
With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light,
And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war,
The boys coming home from the war;
We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,
Since yesterday - nothing has changed,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,"
But I can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside,
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night;
Last night I was walking through the shadows,
Far away from all the music and the girls,
When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black,
And they stood without any word,
Just staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cry,
For a boy left behind in the war,
Some boy left behind in the war;
And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,
Since yesterday - nothing has changed,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,"
But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside,
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night...

esc[absence] - black horse
The best👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Actually, besides of his folk side, this ambitious pop is his best work ever. Also this squad, miss these guys.
Es el mejor de la historia
im sure he is :)
Golden age brings old days memories..dreaming of days will never back
super great
He would have been more popular in the USA if he were taller. American women are shallow when it comes to looks especially if he/she is not her desired race and/or body type. Most (just about all) AW (American women) loathe men that are even an inch shorter than they.
What a bad quality... :-(
It was the first thing I bought when I first got abroad - from Soviet - listen still
Listen to his song "Moonlight and Vodka", from his Man on the Line album.
Never looked like a star. Sounded like an angel though
Essa música é muito linda eu colocava ela quando eu ia me encontrar com minha namorada faz mais de 30 anos hoje somos casados
He is very famous in Iran but I think he doesn't know it
He does
He was in Iran in 2008 I think
I always imagined this song being extended into a film. Like how Copa Cabana was dramatised.
This would have been great if the video incorporated period costume (WWI or WWII) to south west England or perhaps southern US.
It is possible to imagine a small town celebrating the return of soldiers but with a population small enough to track down a single soldier from the battalion or regiment of that area.
Britain and Canada have regional units derived from where the recruits are drawn from.
This could have been much more visually.
The video is ok, but seeing a few fishing boats moored in a quiet Irish harbour overlooks the enormity of the moment.
Pino Palladino....need I say more?
This was The man!
VH1 I Love The 80s Strikes Back 1986 and VH1 I Love The 80s 3D 1986.
Going see him again in October in belfast great.....
Toop 2019
Love his music
1986 to 2016.
1986 to 2006.
Class Of 1986.
Early to Mid 1986.
August 1985 to July 1986.
Это Волшебник ! ! !
Chris de Burgh forever
1:34 Chris loves pizza.
Fab great backing band and Chris the best
Fab great backing band and Chris the best
I was just a boy became as a sailor now as Master retair but still running with your majic voice thank a lot christy
Great song, terrible video.
Awesome
Wonder what all the older fans think of version of this song by ESC 不在 . theyd probably hate it haha.
one of the best song of him -i remember his concert in athens it was fantastic
songs correct word
Earth quick here in Java ocean
Wow so many
Es gab damals diese Doku im Fernsehen, worin auch dieses Lied mit dem Videomitschnitt vorkam. Weiß noch jemand, wie diese Doku hieß oder hat sie sogar auf Video. Hab schon beim ZDF nachgefragt, die finden nämlich nix. Im Internet find ich auch nichts. War zwischen 45 und 60 min lang.
Chris de Burgh is de beste zanger met zijn band ❗❗👍👍👍👍 Carolina
i have that album in mint condition-- here we have one of the great voices of his generation
Perfecto!
Such a great album great singer .keep writing you do it well Norma
I'm sure if I shared any of Chris de Burgh's music without a video or any reference as to who it was I'd get far more likes than putting his face or name to it...lady in red did him no favours
Helen Melon it did for me. That song lead me to buy the album then every album before and since.
August 1985 to July 1986.
A hole lot better than Justin Bieber.
WOULD HAVE been nice-- MARY may have to be satisfied with flowers
WOULD love to drive down to EDMONTON with my wife-- and catch this world class performer but there is no way of knowing what it will cost...because the scalpers are still allowed to buy tickets in huge blocks the instant they become available-- then re-sell them for whatever the market will bear... BY checking tour dates online--- CHRIS is coming to CANADA on oct 17-- performing at the SHAW CENTRE but already everything out front is gone... ALL that is left are wing bleachers at the sides for about $ 250.00 (US) and of course there are no guarantees.......could be a lot more...
I absolutely refuse to support this kind of gouging--- GARTH BROOKS - much to his credit, did an end-run around these assholes last year by announcing 12 or 13 full concerts... that cooled a lot of jets and prices remained pretty much as advertised....
Chris was touched by greatness. Love you Chris x
One of his absolute best songs.
my song oh!God
Chris de Burgh's beautiful music makes me think of a lovely jungle where all the animals are at peace.
gayyyyyyy
777>666

Was the first time I saw Chris live and my first ever live concert. Grugahalle in Essen / Germany back in 1986/87. I was cute 16/17 years old (seems my Memory is fading slowly :-))and I still love his Music.
Please guide me whether this is rock or not
it more pop then rock

AWESOME GREAT SINGER SONGWRITER SEEN HIM TWICE BELFAST 1989 MAGIC

KUSA-TV 9 in Denver used the first part of this song briefly in 1989.
Dudley Moore has a great voice!

Masterpiece

Great Song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
..od wczoraj zupełnie tacy sami...😊
Zeszłej nocy spacerowałem przez przystań
Gdzie łodzie rybackie leżały na wybrzeżu
Wieść szybko się rozeszła i wszyscy szli
Do miejsca w którym major miał wygłosić mowę
Tłum zaczął wiwatować
Kiedy mówił o chwale tego wszystkiego
I o chłopcach wracających do domów z wojny
Zeszłej nocy, oni tańczyli na ulicach
I tworzyli muzykę w wąskich uliczkach i barach
Dźwięk gitar docierał do starego miasta
Margarita czekała w środku
Z długimi czarnymi włosami sięgającymi poniżej czerwonego światła
Uśmiechnęła się, zobaczywszy chłopców wracających do domów z wojny
Chłopców wracających do domów z wojny
Powiedzieli byliśmy bohaterami, powiedzieli byliśmy świetni
Byliśmy mistrzami w wydawaniu rozkazów, mieliśmy Boga po naszej stronie
I powiedzieliśmy że nic nas nigdy nie zmieni, w żaden sposób
Od wczoraj - jesteśmy zupełnie tacy sami
Od wczoraj - nic się nie zmieniło
Od wczoraj - jesteśmy zupełnie tacy sami
Ale czuję że wewnątrz powstał nowy rodzaj głodu
Żeby być zadowolonym, zobaczyłem go tam zeszłej nocy
Zeszłej nocy spacerowałem poprzez cienie
Z dala od tej całej muzyki i od dziewcząt
Kiedy zobaczyłem żołnierza z kobietą w czerni
A oni stali bez słowa
Tylko wpatrywali się w fotografię kogoś, ona zaczęła płakać
Za chłopca który został na wojnie
Jakiegoś chłopca który został na wojnie
Oni powiedzieli byliśmy bohaterami, oni powiedzieli byliśmy świetni
Byliśmy mistrzami w wydawaniu rozkazów, mieliśmy Boga po naszej stronie
I powiedzieliśmy że nic nas nigdy nie zmieni, w żaden sposób
Od wczoraj - jesteśmy zupełnie tacy sami
Od wczoraj - nic się nie zmieniło
Od wczoraj - jesteśmy zupełnie tacy sami
Ale czuję że wewnątrz powstał nowy rodzaj głodu
Żeby być zadowolonym, zobaczyłem go tam zeszłej nocy
never ever heard a voice like his and it's true, he should have been more popular in the states but the military around the world love CHRIS DE BURGH
excellent
One of his absolute best songs.
This guy should have been more popular in the States. Great great great singer.

Sehr schöner Song!
i have the same album in mint condition--towering voice and LAST NIGHT is one of the great songs of our time
I have always thought of that ever since I was a kid hearing this for the first time.
Give it another shot...
never thought of that, you may be on to something there, guess Ill have to listen to the whole album again...cheers
Great song by Chris and video by Winsford MM,love the views of Dalkey and Killiney bay in Dublin
a very big thank you for uploading this great song!
I can invision this whole album as a WWII love story movie..
Many remembers. Thank you for your music.
but why is the video of him just casually singing this song on that rock like he's narrating a nature program.
I dislike all popular music with certain rare exceptions. This is one of them.
One of my MANY MANY favourites by this musical genius
Magnetic music!
His music is one of it's kind...
always think that this song is about the falklands war. it has that essence to it
I couldn't agree more
super
@Lorily94 the tape was ever present in my parents ford cortina, when i was going to pre school
God bless Chris de Burgh. Never in my life have I stumbled upon a musician that managed to sing with such precision, such emotion, such feeling. He's created a style of his own. I hereby call this Sing Softly with a Big Message. Pure genius, to put it short. :)
my best singer for ever
