Caterina Valente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe (why I believe)
The lyrics of Caterina Valente’s song “I Believe” convey an optimistic and hopeful outlook on life. The singer states her beliefs in the small things that give her hope, such as the growth of a flower even after a rainstorm, the flicker of a candle in the darkest night, and the idea that someone will always be there to guide those who go astray. These beliefs are rooted in spirituality and faith, as the singer refers to the power of prayer and the idea that someone or something greater than us is listening and responding to our words and actions.

For non guitar players, what she's doing isn't easy at all. She's having a full on conversation with abrupt interjections that have no rhythm and is still playing without missing a single note. Simply spectacular
@Nomo_Popo
yes, bossa nova is tricky to play and a lot of times even trickier to sing at the same time because of the syncopation. Skills!
@howiseeit5326
Good old muscle memory.
@philsurtees
I'm not sure what planet you're from, or what video you were watching, but in THIS video that is NOT what's happening, and there is NOTHING very difficult about what she's doing. That's not to say it isn't entertaining, it's just not what you described AT ALL...
@DerEchteBold
@@philsurtees
I think he meant the bit that's happening right before she started singing, she's already playing but still talking, that is a very tricky thing.
@roflbotfpv9168
"abrupt interjections that have no rhythm" you can literally count them off but yeah... Bossa nova time signatures but no rhythm? Ok boomer.
@bababooey5314
I absolutely love when she tells him "that's enough" at 1:49 and does it in tempo and key.
@JoeDplummer_
