Glennis Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The pain doesn't show; but the hurt still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...

Czuję to, nadchodzące w powietrzu tej nocy, o Panie
Czekałem na ten moment całe życie, o Panie
Czy czujesz to, nadchodzące w powietrzu tej nocy, o Panie, o Panie
Cóż, jeśli powiedziałbyś mi, że toniesz,
Nie podałbym ci ręki,
Widziałem twoją twarz wcześniej przyjacielu,
Ale nie wiem, czy wiesz, kim jestem
Cóż, byłem tam i widziałem co zrobiłeś,
Widziałem to na własne oczy,
Więc możesz zetrzeć ten uśmiech,
Wiem gdzie byłeś
To wszystko było stekiem kłamstw
I czuję to, nadchodzące w powietrzu tej nocy, o Panie
Czekałem na ten moment całe życie, o Panie
Czuję to, nadchodzące w powietrzu tej nocy, o Panie, o Panie
Cóż pamiętam, pamiętam, nie martw się,
Jak mógłbym zapomnieć,
To był pierwszy raz, ostatni raz kiedy się spotkaliśmy,
Ale znam przyczynę, dlaczego milczysz, nie oszukasz mnie
Rana nie jest widoczna, ale ból ciągle rośnie
To nie jest obce tobie i mnie
I czuję to, nadchodzące w powietrzu tej nocy, o Panie
Lecz czekałem na ten moment całe życie, o Panie
Czuję to w powietrzu tej nocy, o Panie, o Panie
Lecz czekałem na ten moment całe życie, o Panie
I czuję to, nadchodzące w powietrzu tej nocy, o Panie
Lecz czekałem na ten moment całe życie, o Panie
Czuję to w powietrzu tej nocy, o Panie, o Panie
Lecz czekałem na ten moment całe życie, o Panie, o Panie

I love how they blend Papa was a rolling stone beat with In the Air tonight. This performance has to be hands down one of my favorite covers of Phil's classic. Glennis is just... so amazing.

This hi-class cover version definitely honours the original but at the same time giving it another magic and mystical expression. That's hard to do! Respect to Glennis, Candy and all the other musicians. When I listen to this rendition, my emotions riding a rollercoster. That's what only few top artists can do to you. Thanks!
