Silence
Hindi Zahra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my poor bones are tired
I was lost in the crowd
I was a fool before I knew you
There will be a time
When you will leave
For another one
Easy
How you can say goodbye
But my heart started
And never wanna stop again
My heart started
And never wanna stop, ah huh baby
My heart started
And never wanna stop again
You are my homeland
And my sunlight
If you come to me
Sooner or later we will see
The beauty that you said
Will never, never be
Oh, it will grow from the dust
And will turn to be the best
'Cause you know my heart started
And never wanna stop again
My heart started
And never wanna stop
Oh no no no
My heart started
And never wanna stop again
You are my homeland
And my sunlight
You came into my heart
And my world started changing
You are the reason why
I still wanna try
Love
In every places
In every secret parts
And in the silent move
You make over over me
You came to me that day
For a reason I couldn't say
I just know that from that time
My heart couldn't resist to your smile
Believe me
Or leave me
I will stay by your side
I will stay by your side
I will stay by your side

Line by Line Meaning
Silence in my heart
My heart is quiet and calm
And my poor bones are tired
My physical body is exhausted
I was lost in the crowd
I felt alone and unnoticed in a sea of people
I was a fool before I knew you
Before meeting you, I made foolish choices
There will be a time
At some point in the future
When you will leave
You will go away
For another one
You will be with someone else
Easy
It will be effortless for you to move on
How you can play
How you can be so detached and unemotional
How you can say goodbye
How you can leave without hesitation
But my heart started
But then my heart began
And never wanna stop again
And it never wants to stop beating
My heart started
My heart began
And never wanna stop, ah huh baby
And it never wants to stop, my love
You are my homeland
You are my place of belonging
And my sunlight
And you bring light into my life
If you come to me
If you return to me
Sooner or later we will see
Eventually we will find out
The beauty that you said
The wonderful things you spoke of
Will never, never be
Will never disappear or fade away
Oh, it will grow from the dust
It will emerge and flourish from something seemingly insignificant
And will turn to be the best
And it will become something great and wonderful
'Cause you know my heart started
Because you know my heart began
And never wanna stop again
And it never wants to stop beating
Oh no no no
Oh, no, no, no
You came into my heart
You entered my heart
And my world started changing
And my life began transforming
You are the reason why
You are the cause of why
I still wanna try
I still want to make an effort
Love
To love
In every places
In every location
In every secret parts
In every hidden aspect of myself
And in the silent move
And in the quiet things you do
You make over over me
You have a great influence on me
You came to me that day
You came to me on that particular day
For a reason I couldn't say
For a reason I couldn't explain or understand
I just know that from that time
All I know is that from that moment
My heart couldn't resist to your smile
My heart was unable to resist your smile
Believe me
Trust me
Or leave me
Or abandon me
I will stay by your side
I will remain beside you
I will stay by your side
I will remain beside you
I will stay by your side
I will remain beside you

Atmosphère "back to earth" sur des rythmes aux résonnances afro-cubaines assez envoûtantes. Suite de plans en parfaite adéquation avec la musique fluide et chaloupée. C'est un moment harmonieux.
