I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they’re blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this
There is nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
There is nothing
It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we’re going
No care in the world
Maybe I’m learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this
There is nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
There is nothing
В те времена я чувствовал,
Что ничего нельзя понять
В падающих листьях в ночи:
Кому известно, куда они полетят?
Свободный, как ветер,
Надеюсь понять,
Почему морскому приливу
Не вернуться назад?
Важнее этого
Ничего нет.
Важнее этого…
Скажи мне что-нибудь.
Важнее этого
Ничего нет.
Было забавно какое-то время.
Ничего нельзя понять,
Как ночные сновидения:
Кто знает, где нам в них проснуться?
Всем в мире безразлично.
Возможно, я понимаю,
Почему морскому приливу
Не вернуться назад.
Важнее этого
Ничего нет.
Важнее этого…
Скажи мне что-нибудь.
Важнее этого
Ничего нет.
I could feel at the time
В своё время я чувствовал,
There was no way of knowing
Что нельзя постичь
Fallen leaves in the night
Опадающие ночью листья:
Who can say, where they’re blowing?
Кому известно, куда они летят?..
As free as the wind
Свободный, как ветер,
Hopefully learning
С надеждой интересуюсь,
Why the sea on the tide
Почему у морского прилива
Has no way of turning?
Нет пути назад?
More than this
Важнее этого,
You know there is nothing
Ты знаешь, нет ничего
More than this
Важнее этого,
Tell me, one thing?
Скажешь мне кое-что?
More than this
Важнее этого
No, there is nothing
Нет, нет ничего.
It was fun for a while
Какое-то время было забавно:
There was no way of knowing
Никак не постичь
Like a dream in the night
Ночные сновидения,
Who can say, where we’re going?
Кому известно, куда они деваются?
No care in the world
Всему миру безразлично,
Maybe I’m learning
Возможно, я понимаю,
Why the sea on the tide
Почему у морского прилива
Has no way of turning
Нет пути назад.
More than this
Важнее этого,
You know there is nothing
Ты знаешь, нет ничего
More than this
Важнее этого,
Tell me, one thing?
Скажешь мне кое-что?
More than this
Важнее этого
No, there is nothing
Нет, нет ничего.
More than this
Важнее этого
More than this
Важнее этого,
More than this
Важнее этого

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they´re blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this — there is nothing
More than this — tell me one thing
More than this — there is nothing
It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like dream in the night
Who can say where we´re going
No care in the world
Maybe I´m learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this — there is nothing
More than this — tell me one thing
More than this — there is nothing

«More Than This» is a song by English rock band Roxy Music. It was released in April 1982 as the first single from their eighth and final studio album, Avalon (1982). «More Than This» was the group’s last top-10 UK hit, peaking at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart, and also charted in the United States, reaching No. 58 on the Billboard Rock Top Tracks chart.
American alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs released a successful cover version in 1997 which peaked at No. 25, and British singer Emmie released a cover that reached No. 5 in the UK in January 1999. The cover of the single’s release is the painting Veronica Veronese, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, which was completed in 1872 with Alexa Wilding as the model.
The work, which was not one of the band’s biggest hits initially, later became one of Roxy Music’s «most beloved songs».[5] With its «lush and romantic» audio[6] and «wistul» lyrics,[7] it has been included in a number of movies and televisions shows, and is played on one of the in-game radio stations in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.[8]
The song’s narrator is hopeful about the existence of something more, but vaguely melancholic about there not being so.[9][10][11]
Composition[edit]
The song was written by lead vocalist Bryan Ferry, who has stated in interviews that he began writing the songs for Avalon while on the western coast of Ireland, which he believes contributed to the dark melancholy of the album.[12]
«More than This» is somewhat unusual for a pop song in that Ferry’s lead vocals end at 2:45 minutes, leaving the last 1:45 minutes as a synthesizer-driven instrumental outro.

A live version was also included on their 2016 album Playing Favorites.
English singer-songwriter Emmie recorded a cover of the song and released it as a single on 11 January 1999.[30] Produced by Mark Hadfield and Adam Carter-Ryan, her version of the song peaked at No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart,[31] No. 25 on the Irish Singles Chart,[15] and No. 39 in the Flanders region of Belgium.[32]

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It’s not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
‘Cause I’d already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying I love you
Now I’ve tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don’t ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
‘Cause I’d already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying I love you
