Sorrento Moon
Arena Tina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we let ourselves get swept away
It's true baby
We held heaven in our hands for days
You wait a long time
For something wild to take you somewhere
And all I needed was to fly
It's a long way from paradise to ordinary
I remember, how it all came true
It was oh so tender
And I was lost with you
By the sweet sorrento moon
But the stars don't burn that brightly
Every season surely slips away
But you baby
You're the reason why I chose to stay
You wait a long time to find your dream and hold on to it
And all I needed was to fly
It's a long day from innocence to understanding
A picture of a child at play, is how I feel today
And I remember, how it all came true
It was oh so tender, and I was lost with you
By the sweet sorrento moon... (la luna de sorrento)
"Sorrento Moon" by Tina Arena is a song about a dazed and blissful moment in time, where the singer found joy in the company of her lover under the sweet Sorrento moon. The lyrics describe the overwhelming sense of being swept away by the intensity of their love and the feeling of having paradise in their hands. The singer reminisces about that magical moment with nostalgia, as she understands that nothing in life lasts forever, and the stars that shone bright during that particular night may not shine so brightly again. She expresses her gratitude to her partner for being the reason why she chose to stay and hold on to her dream, and how all she needed was to fly. The last verse shows her realization that growing up and becoming an adult is a process that one has to go through, and the lyrics paint the picture of the inner child feeling carefree and playful.
What makes this song special is Tina Arena's exceptional voice and range, which is perfectly suited to convey the intense emotions of the lyrics. It's a ballad that has an almost ethereal quality to it, with its soft melody and dreamlike atmosphere. The lyrics, even though somewhat melancholic, do have a hopeful and uplifting message about the power of love and how it can give us the strength to face the challenges of life. "Sorrento Moon" is a beautifully composed and executed song that exemplifies the best of emotive ballads.

I sang your praises daily
I expressed my admiration for you each day
And we let ourselves get swept away
We allowed ourselves to be carried away by our feelings
It's true baby
This is the honest truth, my dear
We held heaven in our hands for days
We experienced pure bliss for a prolonged period
You wait a long time
It takes a considerable amount of time
For something wild to take you somewhere
To have a thrilling experience that takes you to a different place
And all I needed was to fly
All I desired was the feeling of freedom
It's a long way from paradise to ordinary
It's a significant distance between a perfect place and reality
Picture us just smiling there, we didn't have a care
Imagine us happily sitting without worries or problems
I remember, how it all came true
I recall how it all happened for real
It was oh so tender
It was gentle, kind, and loving
And I was lost with you
I was completely absorbed in our time together
By the sweet sorrento moon
Under the enchanting, charming moon of Sorrento
But the stars don't burn that brightly
The stars don't shine as intensely
Every season surely slips away
Every period inevitably fades away
But you baby
But you, my dear
You're the reason why I chose to stay
You are the motive behind my decision to remain
You wait a long time to find your dream and hold on to it
It takes a considerable amount of time to discover and keep hold of one's aspiration
And all I needed was to fly
All I required was the sensation of liberation
It's a long day from innocence to understanding
It's a lengthy journey from unawareness to comprehension
A picture of a child at play, is how I feel today
I have a sense of carefree joy, similar to that of a child playing
And I remember, how it all came true
I recall how everything I had hoped for became a reality
It was oh so tender, and I was lost with you
It was incredibly delicate and gentle, and I was entirely immersed in our time together
By the sweet sorrento moon...
Under the enchanting, charming moon of Sorrento...
