UB40 - Cover Up Lyrics






[Chorus:]
Cover up
With loving protection
Guard your love
In every direction
Don't give up
For fear of rejection
Stand your ground and voice an objection

[Verse 1:]
Run away my sister and brother
Be afraid of love when the lover
Tries to read the book by the cover
Wrapped up in the arms of another

[Chorus]

Cover up prolonging the yearning
Just ahead the fires are burning
Swim for shore the tides are now turning
Love the ones you love with your learning

[Chorus]

Look ahead the futures depending
On the brave to now start defending
Tell the world the message you're sending
We don't need an unhappy ending

[Chorus]

Got to be safe if you want to be free
To sit in the shade of the family tree

[Verse 1]

[Chorus]

Got to be safe if you want to be free
To sit in the shade of the family tree

    Cover Up (feat. UB40) (Couvre-La)

    [Nuttea] :
    [Nuttea] :
    J'ai le coeur meurtri
    J'ai le coeur meurtri
    Je n'ai plus de patrie
    Je n'ai plus de patrie
    Sinon celle d'un peuple banni
    Sinon celle d'un peuple banni
    D'un système où l'amour est un luxe
    D'un système où l'amour est un luxe
    Seen ?
    Vu ?

    [Chorus UB40] :
    [Refrain UB40] :
    Cover up
    Couvre-là
    With loving protection
    Avec la protection amoureuse
    Guard your love
    Garde ton amour
    In every direction
    Dans chaque direction
    Don't give up
    N'abandonne pas
    For fear of rejection
    Pour la peur du rejet
    Stand your ground and voice an objection
    Tiens ta terre et exprime une objection

    Run away my sister and brother
    Courez loin, mes frères et soeurs
    Be afraid of love when the lover
    Ayez peur de l'amour quand l'amoureux
    Tries to read the book by the cover
    Essaye de lire le livre par la couverture
    Wrapped up in the arms of another
    Enveloppé dans les bras des autres

    [Chorus UB40]
    [Refrain UB40]

    Cover up prolonging the yearning
    Couvre-là en prolongeant le désir
    Just ahead the fires are burning
    En avant les feux brûlent juste
    Swim for shore the tides are now turning
    Bain pour le rivage que les marées tournent maintenant (1)
    Love the ones you love with your learning
    Aime ceux que tu aimes avec ton apprentissage

    [Chorus Nuttea] :
    [Refrain Nuttea] :
    Couvre la de toute ton affection
    Couvre la de toute ton affection
    Protège-la dans toutes les directions
    Protège-la dans toutes les directions
    Garde-la dans ses grandes ambitions
    Garde-la dans ses grandes ambitions
    Ecoute-la de toute ton attention
    Ecoute-la de toute ton attention

    Les chants s'élévent tels des oriflammes
    Les chants s'élèvent tels des oriflammes
    Comme un message qui toucherait les âmes
    Comme un message qui toucherait les âmes
    La presse est là pour couvrir le drame
    La presse est là pour couvrir le drame
    Mais qui se doute du piège qui se trame
    Mais qui se doute du piège qui se trame

    [Chorus Nuttea]
    [Refrain Nuttea]

    [UB40] : Got to be safe if you want to be free
    [UB40] : Obtient d'être sûr si tu veux être libre
    [Nuttea] : Got to be safe if you want to be free
    [Nuttea] : Obtient d'être sûr si tu veux être libre
    [UB40] : To sit in the shade of the family tree
    [UB40] : Pour se reposer à l'ombre de l'arbre de famille
    [Nuttea] : To sit in the shade of the family tree
    [Nuttea] : Pour se reposer à l'ombre de l'arbre de famille

    Je vois partir mes frères et mes soeurs
    Je vois partir mes frères et mes soeurs
    Et c'est comme toute une nation qui meurt
    Et c'est comme toute une nation qui meurt
    Que ma voix se fasse l'écho des pleurs
    Que ma voix se fasse l'écho des pleurs
    Ne laissons pas dominer nos peurs
    Ne laissons pas dominer nos peurs

    [Chorus Nuttea]
    [Refrain Nuttea]

    [UB40] : Got to be safe if you want to be free
    [UB40] : Obtient d'être sûr si tu veux être libre
    [Nuttea] : Got to be safe if you want to be free
    [Nuttea] : Obtient d'être sûr si tu veux être libre
    [UB40] : To sit in the shade of the family tree
    [UB40] : Pour se reposer à l'ombre de l'arbre de famille
    [Nuttea] : To sit in the shade of the family tree
    [Nuttea] : Pour se reposer à l'ombre de l'arbre de famille
