Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Now this is not the time or the place for a broken hearted

'Cause this is the end of the rainbow

Where no one can be too sad

No, I don't wanna leave but I must keep moving ahead

'Cause my life belongs to the other side

Behind the great ocean's waves

Bye bye Hollywood Hills

I'm gonna miss you where ever I go

I'm gonna come back to walk these streets again

Bye bye Hollywood Hills forever

...

Thank you for the morning walks on the sweet sunset

And for the hot night moments

For the fantasy in my bed

I take part of you with me now and you won't get it back

And a part of me will stay here

You can keep it forever, dear

...

Bye bye Hollywood Hills

I'm gonna miss you where ever I go

I'm gonna come back to walk these streets again

Remember that we had fun together

Bye bye rodeo girls

I'm gonna love you where ever I go

I'm gonna come back so we can play together

Bye bye Hollywood Hills forever

Long distance love, does it work?

All the miles in between get in your head

No, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go

Bye bye Hollywood Hills

I'm gonna miss you where ever I go

I'm gonna come back to walk these streets again

Bye bye

Bye bye Hollywood Hills

I'm gonna miss you where ever I go

I'm gonna come back to walk these streets again

Remember that we had fun together

Bye bye rodeo girls

I'm gonna love you where ever I go

I'm gonna come back so we can play together

Bye bye Hollywood Hills forever

...

Hollywood Hills forever

Hollywood Hills forever

...
