We built our home out on the slopes
Pompeii beneath, she lay above
How she haunted our home
How she haunted our home
You were a God in my eyes
Above the clouds, above the skies
You were a God in my eyes
You were a God
You took me walking through the town
Showed me the statues underground
Said just don't they look in peace
Sometimes I wish that was me
And I was the son you always had
Tugging at your coat when you were sad
I was the son you always had
I was the son you always had
Oh please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
Just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
You said stay in the car and wait
There's just some things I have to say
Don't you know I miss her, too
I miss her just as much as you
So my father and my son
As you end what you've begun
You'll lie patient by her side
Roses red and lilies white
I was too young to understand
The flowers slipping from your hands
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand
The flowers sleeping in her hands
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand
Don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
Please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
And just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
Please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
Sobre as Nuvens de Pompeia
Construímos a nossa casa nas encostas
Pompeia em baixo e ela deitada em cima
Como ela assombrava a nossa casa
Como ela assombrava a nossa casa
Eras uma deusa para mim
Acima das nuvens, acima do céu
Eras uma deusa para mim
Eras uma deusa
Levavas-me a passear pela vila
Mostravas-me as estátuas debaixo do solo
Dizias: elas não parecem estar em paz
Às vezes gostava de ser elas
E eu era o filho que sempre tiveste
Puxava o teu casaco quando estavas triste
Era o filho que sempre tiveste
Era o filho que sempre tiveste
Oh, não chores, por favor
Levanta a cabeça bem alto
É o que ela quereria
É o que ela quereria
Disseste para ficar no carro e esperar
Tinhas de dizer umas coisas
Não sabes que também tenho saudades dela
Tenho tantas saudades como tu
Por isso, meu pai e meu filho
Enquanto acabam o que começaram
Vão deitar-se pacientemente ao seu lado
Com rosas vermelhas e lírios brancos
Era demasiado jovem para compreender
As flores a escorregarem-lhe das mãos
Era demasiado jovem para compreender
Era demasiado jovem para compreender
Não chores
Levanta a cabeça bem alto
É o que ela quereria
É o que ela quereria
Não chores, por favor
Levanta a cabeça bem alto
É o que ela quereria
É o que ela quereria
E não chores
Levanta a cabeça bem alto
É o que ela quereria
É o que ela quereria
Não chores, por favor
Levanta a cabeça bem alto
É o que ela quereria
É o que ela quereria
