He Is the Joy
Donna Allen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
Joy!? (repete 3 vezes)
He is the joy!? (repete 6 vezes)

Now the light has left the dark I fear
When I reach for him and he´s not here
Many times have come when he is gone
Yet I found the strength to carry on
But then I turn around and everything is changed
He will reach for me
And lay his hands upon my face
When I feel his touch my love will overflow
He is real to me
Now I know

[Chorus]
He is the joy
In my morning
In my evening
Every day and night I feel the joy
When I'm lonely
Something tells me
He´s my guide and light
He is the joy (4x)
(He takes the pain and the strife, every day of my life)
Every day, every day of my life
(He takes the pain and the strife, every day of my life)
Every, every day, every day of my life, hey

I can´t explain about this love I feel
But I know it is real
So here´s the deal
Sometimes I give up, I don´t believe
And It breaks my heart so painfully
But then I turn around and everything is changed
He will reach for me
Lay his hands upon my face
When I feel his touch my love will overflow
He is real to me
Now I know





[Chorus]

Ora la menzogna ha lasciato il buio della paura
Now the lie has left the dark of fear

Quando lo raggiungo
When I reach for him

E lui non è qui
And he's not here

Molte volte sono venute quando se n'è andato
Many times have come when he is gone

E ho trovato la forza
And I found the strength

Per continuare
To carry on

Ma poi mi sono voltato e tutto è cambiato
But then I turned around and everything is changed

Mi raggiungerà
He will reach for me

Appoggia le mani sul mio viso
Lay his hands upon my face

Ma quando sento il suo tocco, il mio amore traboccerà
But when I feel his touch my love will overflow

È reale per me
He is real to me

Adesso lo so
Now I know
Lui è la gioia
He is the joy

Lui è il mio modello
He's my model

È il mio interiore
He's my inner

Ogni giorno e notte provo gioia
Everyday and night I feel the joy

Lui è il mio modello
He's my model

Anima gemella di me
Soul mate of me

È la mia guida della luce
He's my guide of light

Lui è la gioia
He is the Joy

Lui è la gioia
He is the Joy

Lui è la gioia
He is the Joy

Lui è la gioia
He is the Joy

(Prende il dolore e la lotta, ogni giorno della mia vita)
(He takes the pain and the strife, everyday of my life)

Ogni giorno, ogni giorno della mia vita)
Everyday, everyday of my life)

(Prende il dolore e la lotta, ogni giorno della mia vita)

Ogni, ogni giorno, ogni giorno della mia vita)
Every, everyday, everyday of my life)
Fieno!
Hay!
Fieno!
Hay!
Ha-hay!
Ha-hay!
Non posso spiegare questo amore che provo
I can't explain about this love I feel

So che è reale
I know is real

Quindi ecco l'affare
So here's the deal

A volte mi arrendo, non ci credo
Sometimes I give up, I don't believe

E mi spezza il cuore così dolorosamente
And It breaks my heart so painfully

Ma poi mi sono voltato e tutto è cambiato
But then I turned around and everything is changed

Mi raggiungerà
He will reach for me

Appoggia le mani sul mio viso
Lay his hands upon my face

Ma quando sento il suo tocco, il mio amore traboccerà
But when I feel his touch my love will overflow

È reale per me

Adesso lo so
Now I know
