The Legend of the Wizard and the Fairy
Barilari Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the story of a wizard
Who wandered the enchanted forest in pain
Cause in spite of his magic
He hadn´t been able to find any love.

The moonlight his only one friend
Gave him the energy to tolerate,
The torment that he was feeling
Taking the blame for his own loneliness.

It´s that he knew very well that in his life,
He was supposed not to escape
his endless fate.
If someone should love you once,
you´ll know in time
You´ll only have to be ready
to spot the moment.

He was walking down the forest
When he felt a stranger was looking at him.
It was is beautiful fairy
The one he had always been trying to meet.

From that moment it was written
The fairy and the wizard
Were longing to be.
Together in the deep forest
Loving each other for eternity.

The evil which was always there
Just couldn´t bear
To see them happy and bright
With great delight
And with his anger he attacked
Until he put her to sleep
And she fell into a bad dream
Where she could not feel.

The wizard wandered his castle
Looking for power
To bring his love back.
And to return to his fairy
The most tender look
that she had always had.

He didn´t stop for a second
Planning the best way
To make her wake up
And to save her from the evil
Spirit who´d managed to make him feel sad.

And now he knows what love is
And that he´ll have
Enough power to tolerate
The fairy´s absence.
He knows one day he will see
His lovely fairy come back
And they will happily live forever after.

Line by Line Meaning

This is the story of a wizard
Let me tell you about a wizard


Who wandered the enchanted forest in pain
He was walking through the magical woods, feeling sorrowful


Cause in spite of his magic
Despite his mystical powers


He hadn´t been able to find any love.
He was lonely and had never found love


The moonlight his only one friend
He only had the moonlight as company


Gave him the energy to tolerate,
It gave him the strength to endure


The torment that he was feeling
The pain he was experiencing


Taking the blame for his own loneliness.
He believed it was his own fault for being alone


It´s that he knew very well that in his life,
He was aware that in his existence


He was supposed not to escape
He was meant to face


his endless fate.
His never-ending destiny


If someone should love you once,
If someone loves you at some point,


you´ll know in time
You'll eventually realize


You´ll only have to be ready
You just need to be prepared


to spot the moment.
To recognize the opportunity


He was walking down the forest
As he was wandering through the wood


When he felt a stranger was looking at him.
He sensed a stranger was observing him


It was is beautiful fairy
He saw the stunning fairy


The one he had always been trying to meet.
The one he had been pursuing tirelessly


From that moment it was written
From then on it was predetermined


The fairy and the wizard
The fairy and the wizard


Were longing to be.
Were yearning to be together


Together in the deep forest
Together in the dense woods


Loving each other for eternity.
Loving each other forever


The evil which was always there
Evil, which was always present


Just couldn´t bear
Couldn't tolerate


To see them happy and bright
To witness their joy and bliss


With great delight
With immense satisfaction


And with his anger he attacked
The evil spirit attacked with fury


Until he put her to sleep
Until he made her unconscious


And she fell into a bad dream
She entered a nightmare


Where she could not feel.
Where she was incapable of feeling anything


The wizard wandered his castle
The wizard roamed his fortress


Looking for power
Seeking more power


To bring his love back.
To retrieve his love


And to return to his fairy
And to restore his fairy


The most tender look
The sweetest expression


that she had always had.
That she always had on her face


He didn´t stop for a second
He didn't pause for a moment


Planning the best way
Devising the most effective method


To make her wake up
To awaken her


And to save her from the evil
And to rescue her from the malice


Spirit who´d managed to make him feel sad.
That had caused him sorrow.


And now he knows what love is
He now understands love


And that he´ll have
And that he will possess


Enough power to tolerate
Sufficient strength to endure


The fairy´s absence.
The lack of his fairy's presence


He knows one day he will see
He realizes that one day he will behold


His lovely fairy come back
His beautiful fairy's return


And they will happily live forever after.
And they will live joyfully evermore.
