Pretenders – “Don´t get me wrong”. LYRICS
Don't get me wrong,
if I'm looking kind of dazzled;
I see neon lights,
whenever you walk by.

Don't get me wrong,
if you say hello and I take a ride,
upon a sea where the mystic moon
is playing havoc with the tide.
don't get me wrong.

Don't get me wrong,
if I'm acting so distracted;
I'm thinking about the fireworks,
that go off when you smile.

Don't get me wrong,
if I split like light refracted,
I'm only off to wander
across a moonlit mile.
Once in a while,
two people meet
seemingly for no reason
they just pass on the street.
suddenly thunder showers everywhere
who can explain the thunder and rain
but there's something in the air.

Don't get me wrong,
if I come and go like fashion.
I might be great tomorrow
but hopeless yesterday.

Don't get me wrong,
if I fall in the mode of passion
it might be unbelievable.
but let's not stay so long,
it might just be fantastic
don't get me wrong.

Pretenders – “No me malinterpretes”. TRANSLATION

No me malinterpretes,
si me veo algo deslumbrada;
veo luces de neón,
cada vez que tú pasas (caminas por)

No me malinterpretes,
si me dices hola y yo me voy de paseo,
sobre un mar donde la luna mística
está haciendo estragos con la marea.
no me malinterpretes.

No me malinterprete,
si actúo tan distraída;
Estoy pensando en los fuegos artificiales,
que estallan cuando sonríes.

No me malinterpreten,
si me disperso como la luz refractada,
sólo me alejé para vagar
a través de una milla de luna.
De vez en cuando,
dos personas se encuentran
aparentemente sin razón
simplemente pasan en la calle.
de repente truena, llueve por todas partes
quien puede explicar el trueno y la lluvia
pero hay algo en el aire.

No me malinterpretes,
si voy y vengo como la moda.
podría ser genial mañana
pero ayer sin esperanza.

No me malinterpretes,
si caigo en la moda de la pasión
podría ser increíble.
pero no vamos a permanecer tanto tiempo,
podría ser simplemente fantástico
no me malinterpretes.
