[English]

I look at you all, see the love that's there sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping

Still, my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you

How to unfold your love

I don't know how someone controlled you

They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I see it is turning

While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake, we must surely be learning

Still, my guitar gently weeps

...

I don't know how you were diverted

You were perverted too

I don't know how you were inverted

No one alerted you

I look at you all, see the love that's there sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

(I look at you all) all

Oh, still, my guitar gently weeps

...

(While my guitar gently weeps)

...

(Still, my guitar gently weeps)

...

Hey, yeah, yeah

(While my guitar gently weeps)

...

Yeah, yeah

(Still, my guitar gently weeps)

...

Yeah

(While my guitar gently weeps)

...

(Still, my guitar gently weeps)
