Uriah Heep - Come Away Melinda Lyrics






Daddy, Daddy, come and look
See what I've found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the war

Daddy, Daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war

Daddy, Daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do!
Why, there's someone in a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your Mommy
You had before the war

Daddy, Daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be the way they were
Before the war began

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war

    When Uriah Heep came to Russia for the first time with the concerts I couldn't be present there and didn't know the guys then/ It was in the late 80s, as I remember. But one of my friends did go and said it was superb.

  64. E.... C....

    David byron foi a própria alma do rock nos anos 70 .vocalista por excelência. Sem falar dos outros membros da banda que também foram e os remanescentes ainda sao a expressão do rock clássico. Com certeza estao entre os melhores da historia do rock.

    ПОЙДЕМ, МЕЛИНДА

    –  Папа, папа, посмотри –  видишь,  что я здесь нашла,
    Неподалеку от дороги – там, где вскопана земля…
                    – Пойдем, Мелинда, в дом пойдем и дверь закрой,
                    Это лишь фотоальбом, сделанный перед войной.

    – Папа, папа, подойди. Фото это так знакомо.
    Пять малюток, как  и я,   
    Здесь, внутри фотоальбома…
                    – Пойдем, Мелинда, в дом пойдем и дверь закрой.
                    Жили, как и ты, малютки  эти
                    Здесь перед войной.

    – Папа, папа, подойди, ты скорей взгляни –  
    Та, что в том красивом платье,
    Взрослая, как ты… Можешь, пояснить?
                    – Пойдем, Мелинда, в дом пойдем и дверь закрой,
                    Это фото твоей мамы, в год перед войной.

    – Папа, папа, если сможешь, объясни –
    Почему здесь всё не так, как  и до той войны? 
                    – Пойдем, Мелинда, в дом пойдем и дверь закрой…
                    А ответ в далеком прошлом – там, перед войной…

    �.... �....

    Я не силен в английском, но много раз слушая эту песню и понимая лишь урывками быстро понял не сложный сюжет песни.

    �.... �....

    @Vivas Petrov хороший комментарий...

    �.... �....

    Спасибо!

    �.... �....

    Благодарю....Руские очень сильно чувствуют войну...это в крови...

    �.... �....

    Перевод и музыка потрясающие смысл песни бесподобен а что сейчас?

  70. j.... �....

    I have all of the Records ( Albums ) ..but THIS..is above all.
    It is " Story-telling " at an exelent high level..this is ...this is pure Poetry..as Poetry forever should be and forever written <3

  71. A.... F....

    Still one of the best all time songs ever written...R.I.P  David Byron God bless buddy..

  72. C.... T....

    David byron he was the best singer in rock roll we miss you david rip.

  73. A.... v....

    Wunderschönes, lehrreiches Lied und Video

  74. D.... R....

    damn..i cried again

  75. v.... ....

    Byron - этим всё сказано..! Хотя и кавер Velvett Fogg

  76. L.... D....

    Очень люблю эту песню. Великий смысл. Хочется плакать.

    L.... D....

    人上班

    L.... D....

    Послушайте это - The Big 3 Come Away Melinda не сможете не заплакать. MAMA CASS бесподобна, никогда прежде не слышал такого голоса.

    L.... D....

    Вы не заметили , очень похоже на манеру и стиль Йена Гиллана

  77. B.... W....

    if i may. Like 'Woodstock', ' A hard rain' and 'With God on our side' a deeply political song written in the shadow of a feared nuclear (or - 'with God on our side' - chemical) Armageddon. Some of the pictures in this film reflect a post -holocaust future whilst others call to mind a conflict just before my time (Pink Floyd - When the Tigers broke free) Now largely members of my generation is spoiling for another one. Some are saying - 'Who won the war?' and calling for Brexit - and worse still - the demise of the European Union. When will they ever learn (And Quiet Flows the Don) When will they ever learn? This song tells us - in a powerful allegory - that NOBODY ever wins a war - some just lose it slightly more catastrophically than others. Nobody EVER wins. And the UK government is about to denounce our part in the Treaty which ended - not only the Second World War in Europe, but the First World War and all the 'little wars ' going back to the Peace of Westphalia and the Treaty of Utrecht.
    Are they mad??? ... think of all the 'Melindas' (Janes, Maries, Evas, Katyas, Birgittas and the rest) crying for their daddies who will never come home

  78. J.... R....

    What's the name of the movie video?

  79. J.... A....

    Too moving.... you nailed author. Thank you for posting. Very Deep.

  80. P.... L....

    This is EXACTLY what I imagined a video for this song would look like! Even though the song is about the World War, the images it conveys are like scenes out of medieval England or Northern Europe.

  81. �.... �....

    Каждый раз плачу... Красивая и грустная песня в прекрасном исполнении Байрона.

    �.... �....

    Ne plach

  82. R.... F....

    2018, who is listening?

    R.... F....

    2019 Me!

  83. M.... W....

    Absolutely beautiful and sad. RIP David.

  84. L.... S....

    Brano struggente e un video veramente emozionante. Questa musica abbinata al vdeo e' veramente toccante almeno, per me 🌼💗🌸💝😍

  85. b.... k....

    Horror song

  86. Y.... F....

    One of my favorite song..thanks uriah heep my number 1 band.

  87. N.... I....

    Sadness...!! Sad

  88. m.... k....

    Sounds like very early Deep Purple

  89. F.... F....

    Ols and good song. Show!!!!

  90. K.... ....

    Very haunting track,Byron’s voice simply great. I First saw UH at The Oldfield Tavern in Greenford which is long gone, shortly after they had released Look at Yourself. I wish I had seen them with Gary Thain on Bass. A truly great band.

  91. U.... R....

    Uriah Heep died when David Byron had to leave. Never ever was a voice heard with this brightness and variations. Although Ken Hensley, Mick Box, Paul Newton and Alex Napier were great musicians, without David Byron Uriah Heep doesn't exist anymore. Cruel and horrable what the current vocalist offers. This is not, repeat not Uriah Heep

  92. �.... ....

    すばらしい。!!
    なみだがでてしまう。

    �.... ....

    的是一个问题了一个是在一样吗你是我的眼泪了一个是在一样吗你是我的眼泪了一个

  93. R.... M....

    I first heard Heep on WORJ RADIO FREE FLORIDA in 1970. Still one of my top 3 all time. This video absolutely captures the essence of the song.David Byron was brilliant. A great trip back to better days.

  94. J.... J....

    A LEGEND MEMORIES NEVER FADED

  95. �.... �....

    I've missed many or all uriah heep activities cos I was born 23 yrs ago. but I know uriah heep from their tapes that is still stored by my family (Grandfather & Father & Uncle's) and still can be played untill present day, and if the members of uriah heep is still exist on these day, I hope they will return and make reunion so the fans can see them.

  96. M.... S....

    Wonderful song,when i heard it the first time i was 15 how many remembrances of youth,few problems and first love but overall Beautiful years 70-80 yes!!!

  97. S.... C....

    how old is the actual video anyway ? The blonde girl looks like Adrian edmondson's / Jennifer Saunders' daughter Beattie (of 'Josh' + 'Patrick' fame)

  98. �.... F....

    end of the planetary war - greetings from Russia - Russia

  99. r.... ....

    H-hm... - yes, it is! - Greetings from Germany. ;-)
