Текст песни Standing In the Shadows of Love (Janis Ian) с переводом

I’ve been standing in the shadows of love

Hiding from the sun up above

Wondering if my heart

Would ever feel the spark

And say — I’ve finally had enough

I’ve been standing in the shadows of love

I built a wall of the stones I’d swallowed

Stones of fear and pride

I built it tall so no one could follow

And bother me inside

I lived my life in that wall’s shade

I hid behind the games I played

But now it’s time to make my getaway

I used to have such a mean reputation

I was cold and cruel

When I walked into a new situation

I knew just what to do

I thought this world was full of fools

Except for me, who could play it cool

I played cold, I almost froze

Until I met you
