Hindi Zahra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gone away from me
And it took so long
Before I could breathe
The road is wide
And the search is deep
But the change will always
Always ome with dreams
Love like rain on the desert
Reflections of beauty
And hope we can stay in this present
With light surrounded now
so raise he fire to the sky

See a heart of golden love

As long as we never say goodbye
To another love
Love like rain on the desert

And hope we can stay in this present
With love surounded now so
So we can take this forever

The way
Love like rain on the desert

And hope we can stay in this present
With love surrounded now so
So we can take this forever
Visions of heaven and angels leading the way

keder gitti
benden çok uzağa gitti
Ve bu çok zaman aldı
ben nefes almadan önce
yol geniş
ve araştırma derin
ama değişim herzaman olacak
herzaman hayaller ile gidecek
Aşk çölde yağmur gibi
Güzelliğin yansımaları
Ve umarım tam şu anda kalabiliriz
Çevrelenmiş ışıkla birlikte
Yani göğe ateş yükseltti
Cesuruz, Sabırlıyız, Asiyiz
Altın aşkın kalbine bak
Asla ölmeyeceğiz
Başka bir aşka
Hoşçakal demedikçe
Aşk çölde yağmur gibi
Güzelliğin yansımaları
Ve umarım tam şu anda kalabiliriz
çevrelenmiş aşkla birlikte
Bu yüzden bunu sonsuza kadar götürebiliriz
Cennet hayali ve yol gösteren melekler
yol..
Aşk çölde yağmur gibi
Güzelliğin yansımaları
Ve umarım tam şu anda kalabiliriz
çevrelenmiş aşkla birlikte
Bu yüzden bunu sonsuza kadar götürebiliriz
Cennet hayali ve yol gösteren melekler
yol..
