When Susannah cries - Espen Lind

Rieccoci con un'altra canzone di Espen Lind, questa volta il ringraziamento è duplice (seguo l'ordine cronologico): Kalos e Egon, colui che mi aveva consigliato anche Niki's theme sempre dello stesso autore.

When Susannah cries
she cries a rainstorm
she cries a river
she cries a hole in the ground

She cries for love
she cries a sad song
she cries a shiver
sometimes she cries for me too

And I say I'll never hurt her
but she knows it isn't true
'cos although I never told her
I think she knows bout me and you
now she cries with silent tension
this can't be right
and the downtown special cries along
'cos I'm leaving tonight

Now I slip the night around her
and I hope she'll be okay
I just pray someone will find her
and guide her along her way
'cos I'm leaving on the 1 am
by soon I'm out of sight
but she'll always be my baby
though I'm leaving tonight

Every night I hear her
talking in her sleep
she says 'You know I'll always be there'
and I feel like such a creep
please take back the love she gave to me
and in time her grief will pass
just tell her that I loved her
now it's all she has

Niki's theme - Espen Lind

Chi è Espen Lind? io non l'avevo mai sentito nominare, per cui supponendo di non essere l'unica vi dico che è un cantautore norvegese e vi rimando al suo sito e alla pagina inglese di wikipedia (quella italiana è troppo scarna).

Questa canzone me l'hanno fatta conoscere ieri e devo ammettere che mi è piaciuta da subito, veramente struggente e triste.

What if I said you had to leave me
Would you believe that it was you i was thinking of
What if i told you just to fly free
Would you believe it was so you'd be better off

What if I told you I'm ready
What if I told you I'm prepared to make that sacrifice
Would you believe
It was the best I could do
Well maybe not but it's true
That I would even die for you

Niki this is your song
Niki where did we go wrong

If I told you that I've loved you from the first sight
Would you believe me for I swear I tell no lie
What if I told you that just last night
I made my mind up and I promsied not to cry

What if I told you I'm ready
What if I told you I'm prepared to make that sacrifice
Would you believe
It was the best I could do
Well maybe not but it's true
'Cos I would even die for you

Niki this is your song
Niki where did we go wrong

So now my love I have to leave you
For once my words have to replace your tender love
That always paints my sky in clear-blue
To try and paint this final portrait of my love

'Cos baby now I am ready
'Cos baby now I am prepared to let you out of my life
And when you said my eyes were beautiful
That's 'cos they were looking at you
Goodbye my love just do what you do

Niki this is our song
Niki where did we go wrong
