Cathar Rhythm
Era Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't you come back now?
Don't you turn your eyes?
And if you dare to look
I'll be you waiting

Impera e nessimo
Impera samie nero
Dove di immantore Dio

You hear my prayer
Don't you turn your eyes?
And if you dare to mourn
I'll be you waiting

Impera e nessimo
Impera samie nero
Dove di immantore torra

E mani diavole
E mano diavole
E nere mani diavole

Impera e nessimo
Impera samie nero
Dove di immantore Dio

Don't you come back now?
Don't you turn your eyes?
E nere mani diavole
You hear my prayer




E nere mani diavole
I'll be you waiting

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Era's song Cathar Rhythm convey a sense of warning and a call for vigilance. The first stanza almost seems like a threat, perhaps aimed at someone who has caused harm or has chosen to leave. The phrases "Don't you come back now?" and "Don't you turn your eyes?" suggest that there will be consequences if the person in question does not heed the warning. The following stanza is a plea to a higher power, marked by the repeated phrase "Impera e nessimo" (reign supreme) and "Samie nero" (black skies). The lyrics suggest that a dark force is looming and that one must be vigilant against it. The final stanza is a repetition of the earlier warnings, with the added imagery of "e nere mani diavole" (black devil hands).


The lyrics of Cathar Rhythm are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they suggest a sense of danger and the importance of vigilance against harmful forces. The repeated phrases and imagery create a sense of urgency, urging the listener to pay attention and be wary. The song's title, a reference to the Cathars, a medieval religious group persecuted by the Catholic Church, adds an additional layer of meaning, implying a struggle against oppressive forces.

Oltre ad Ameno, ed Enae Volare Mezzo, questa era in un vivido ricordo nella mia memoria.. quando la senti per la prima volta, ti attraversa un'energia che ti carica, sensualità, amore, fortezza, speranza.
Resta il mio sogno: vivere nel Medioevo o in un'altra era.. non questa..
Stupendamente magnifica 🖤🌵☘️

"Lyrics:
Don't you come back now?
Don't you turn your eyes?
And if you dare to look
I'll be you waiting

Impera ve nessimo*
Impera sa mi ve Nero*
Dove di immantore Divo*

You hear my prayer
Don't you turn your eyes?
And if you dare to mourn
I'll be you waiting

Impera ve nessimo*
Impera sa mi ve Nero*
Dove di immantore divo*

E mani diavole*
E mano diavole*
E nere mani diavole*

Impera ve nessimo*
Impera sa mi ve Nero*
Dove di immantore divo*

Don't you come back now?
Don't you turn your eyes?
(E nere mani diavole)*
You hear my prayer
(E nere mani diavole)*
I'll be you waiting...

Don’t you come back now?
Don’t you turn your eyes?
And if you dare to look
I’ll be waiting... Waiting...

Testo:
Non torni indietro adesso?
Non giri lo sguardo?
E se avrai il coraggio di guardare
Io ti starò aspettando

*L'impero è nulla
*L'impero divenne nero
*Dove sei divinità immensa

Ascolta la mia preghiera
Non abbassare lo sguardo
E se avrai il coraggio di piangere
Io ti starò aspettando

*L'impero è nulla
*L'impero divenne nero
*Dove sei divinità immensa

*E le mani diaboliche
*E la mano del diavolo
*E le nere mani del diavolo

*L'impero è nulla
*L'impero divenne nero
*Dove sei divinità immensa

Non torni indietro adesso?
Non giri lo sguardo?
(*E le nere mani del diavolo)
Ascolta la mia preghiera
(*E le nere mani del diavolo)
Io ti starò aspettando...

Non torni indietro adesso?
Non giri lo sguardo?
E se avrai il coraggio di guardare
Io ti starò aspettando... Aspettando..."

Never knew a title of this song nor it was Era that was singing it. I'm so glad to find it after about 20 years I heard it for the first time! 🥰

@tudorrenegade7052

I am happy for you. My mother bought the Era tape when it came out, I was early teen, those were good times. I've seen a live show once with this song, actors/dancers and white sheets in the wind , very beautiful.

@lroyalstylel

Nunca entenderé por qué, estás piezas tan buenas no tienen tantas reproducciones como lo merecen.

@susanamenezes6357

Mui antiguas.

@cristianlauga9551

Porque en esos años la musica no se masificaba tanto ya que no habia redes sociales, aplicaciones etc y es por eso que esta generación no conoce este tipo de musica, gracias a Dios logré vivir los 90s como debe ser

@leon2258

por qué poca gente sabe identificar una buena melodía... muy pocas personas!!! pero es una gran melodía....

@Raldonado

@@cristianlauga9551, ah, caray, yo también viví en los noventa y hasta ahorita me planteo cómo debíamos vivir en esa década como debía ser.

@JaibaBrava85

Y pensar que ahora lo más es peso pluma y esas pendejadas de reggaeton.....que triste
