You Would Have Loved This
Tarja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
here this morning
A soft and gentle coverlet of white
Unfolded in the shadows of the dawn
It sparkled in the early morning l ight
You would have loved this
You would have loved this
This was your favorite time of day
The greenery is laid across the mantle
And ornaments are hanging on the tree
And cradled in the windowsill's a candle
A beacon in the night
to call you back to me
You would have loved this
You always loved this
I know you loved this time of year
And though I understand
One day again I'll see you
I long to touch your hand,
hear your voice, feel you
You would have loved this
You always loved this
Oh, how you loved.

A soft and gentle coverlet of white

Mal Bredova
Zima tu ráno zanechala svou pokrývku
Jemnou a měkkou bílou pokrývku
Rozprostřenou ve stínech úsvitu
Třpytící se v brzkém ranním světle
Tohle bys milovala
Tohle bys milovala
Byla to tvá nejoblíbenější denní doba
Přes zeleň je položen plášť
A ozdoby jsou zavěšeny na stromě
A pohupující se svíčka na okenním parapetu
Strážný oheň, aby tě v noci zavolal zpět ke mně
Tohle bys milovala
Vždy jsi to milovala
Vím, že jsi milovala tuhle roční dobu
A ačkoli chápu, že
Jednoho dne tě znovu uvidím
Toužím se dotknou tvé ruky
Slyšet tvůj hlas, cítit tě
Tohle bys milovala
Vždy jsi to milovala
Oh, jak jsi to milovala

It's Christmas time once again and here I am drawn back to this very, very special and wonderful song! Every time I hear this, memories of Dad floods back into my mind, because as Tarja sings about her own dear Mother, Christmas was her special time of the year! I still Miss You Dad!

That was beyond beautiful. I love the winter , the snow, and the Christmas season. Though every time I hear this song I tear up. Makes me remember my grandmother who loved that time of the year. She passed on in 2007.

Prachtig! Dit is echt haar mooiste nummer, ik krijg altijd tranen in mijn ogen van dit nummer, en ook die piano die je hoort is heel gevoelig... Tarja is de koningin der zangeressen! ;)

If Tarja was an animal, then she would be a nightingale! This is one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard!
