Original lyrics
Don't Stop Believin'
Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night.
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night.
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people
Don't stop!
- south Detroit:
"While the lyrics mention being "born and raised in south Detroit", there is no place in the Detroit, Michigan area commonly called "South Detroit". The city lies mainly on the north bank of the Detroit River, and directly south of its downtown area lies the Canadian city of Windsor, Ontario. Steve Perry has said, "I tried north Detroit, I tried east and west and it didn't sing, but south Detroit sounded so beautiful. I loved the way it sounded, only to find out later it's actually Canada." (Wikipedia)
- Streetlights people, living just to find emotion:
The lyric "streetlight people living just to find emotion" came from Perry watching people walking in the streets of Detroit at night after a show. (Wikipedia)

Nemoj prestati vjerovati
Samo cura iz malog grada, živi u osamljenom svijetu
Sjela je na ponoćni vlak za bilo kamo
Samo gradski dečko, rođen i odrastao u južnom Detroitu
Sjeo je na ponoćni vlak za bilo kamo
Pjevač u zadimljenoj prostoriji
Miris vina i jeftinog parfema
Za osmijeh mogu podijeliti noć
To ide dalje i dalje i dalje i dalje
Stranci čekaju, gore i dolje na bulevaru
Njihove sjene traže u noći
Ljudi uličnih svjetiljki, žive samo da bi pronašli emociju
Skrivaju se, negdje u noći
Radim naporno da dobijem svoj dio
Svatko želi zanos
Plaćaju koliko god da bace kocku
Samo još jednom
Neki će pobijediti, neki izgubiti
Neki su rođeni da bi pjevali blues
Oh, film nikad ne završava
Ide dalje i dalje i dalje i dalje
Stranci čekaju, gore i dolje na bulevaru
Njihove sjene traže u noći
Ljudi uličnih svjetiljki, žive samo da bi pronašli emociju
Skrivaju se, negdje u noći
Nemojte prestati vjerovati
Držite se svog osjećaja
Ljudi uličnih svjetiljki
Nemojte prestati vjerovati
Držite se
Ljudi uličnih svjetiljki
Nemojte prestati vjerovati
Držite se svog osjećaja
Ljudi uličnih svjetiljki
Nemojte prestati!
