Brandy – Too Little, Too Late

Lyrics

Too Little, Too Late

How many times did I ask ‘why are you with him’?
How many times did I beg you to run away?
How many times did he tell you it won’t happen again?
And how many times did it happen the very next day?

And now I’m asking why didn’t you listen to me?
Why didn’t I do something,
Though you said ‘please just let it be’?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes.
Too little too late.

What did I say the very first time it happened?
I said where is he now and what do you want me do to?
Why did you tell me no, why were you protecting him?
When all I was trying to do, was protect you.

And now I’m asking why didn’t you listen to me?
Why didn’t I do something,
Though you said ‘please just let it be’?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes.
Too little too late.

And I just can’t help feeling,
Feeling like I let you down.
Your knight in shining armor,
Protecting you from harm.
Yeah right, this time the truth,
You’d still be around!

Why didn’t you listen to me?
Why didn’t I do something,
Though you said ‘please just let it be’?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes.
Too little too late.

Why didn’t you listen to me?
Why didn’t I do something,
Though you said ‘please just let it be’?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes.
Too little too late.
Too little too late.e

Prevod na srpski

Malo je prekasno

Koliko puta sam te pitala ‘zašto si sa njim’?
Koliko puta sam te zamolila da pobegneš?
Koliko puta ti je rekao da se to više neće ponoviti?
A koliko puta se to dogodilo sutradan?

A sad se pitam, zbog čega nisi mene poslušala?
Zašto nisam nešto uradio
Iako si rekla ‘molim te, pusti to’
Zbog čega sam ga pustila da te oduzme od mene
One odluke koje smo doneli, da bi ispravili naše greške.
Malo je prekasno.

Šta sam ti rekao kad se ovo prvi put dogodilo?
Pitala sam gde je on sad i šta hoćeš da uradim?
Zašto si meni rekla ne, zašto si ga branila?
Kad sam samo pokušavala da te štitim.

A sad se pitam, zbog čega nisi mene poslušala?
Zašto nisam nešto uradio
Iako si rekla ‘molim te, pusti to’
Zbog čega sam ga pustila da te oduzme od mene
One odluke koje smo doneli, da bih ispravili naše greške.
Malo je prekasno.

Ne mogu protiv toga, osećam,
Osećam da sam te razočarala.
Tvoj vitez na belom konju,
koji je tebe štitio od zla.
Ma daj, da sam govorila istinu kao i sad,
Ti bi tu i dalje bila!

Zbog čega nisi mene poslušala?
Zašto nisam nešto uradio
Iako si rekla ‘molim te, neka bude’
Zbog čega sam ga pustila da te oduzme od mene
One odluke koje smo doneli, da bih ispravili naše greške.
Malo je prekasno.

Zbog čega nisi mene poslušala?
Zašto nisam nešto uradio
Iako si rekla ‘molim te, neka bude’
Zbog čega sam ga pustila da te oduzme od mene
One odluke koje smo doneli, da bih ispravili naše greške.
Malo je prekasno.
Malo je prekasno.

    1. I’m actually a bit confused about the gender. I put the feminine and masculine past tense according to who sang the song since it was a duet. The song is clearly about a woman in an abusive relationship, however I can’t tell from which point of view are these two singing. Are they both friends? Are they talking about the feelings of a past lover? What do you think?
