Ali farka touré
Mali Dje Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lay down with an angel
I lay down with an angel
â€~Cause she treat me kind sometimes
Vieni in me, portami via, ali d'oro
Vieni in me
Fammi volare, mio cielo
Siamo l'inganno, portami via
Anima mia, oh mia
I lay down with an angel
I lay down with an angel
I lay down, I lay down thinking
More than I could really say
Stai in me
Continua a volare, ali d'oro
Siamo l'inganno
Baciami il cuore
Anima mia, oh mia
I lay down with an angel
I lay down with an angel
I lay down, I lay down thinking
More than I could really say
Vedo nel sole dei tuoi occhi
Un altro sole cadere
Siamo l'addio e non la fine
Senza ricordi ne' paure
Uh baby, portami via
I lay down with an angel
I lay down, ooh, with an angel
Lay me down, I lay down
I lay down thinking
More than I could really say
I lay down with an angel
I lay down, sweet, with an angel
Lay, I lay down
I lay down thinking




Baby, more than I could really say
Really say

The lyrics of the chorus reveal the yearning of the person to take flight on the "wings of gold" of the angel, to leave the ordinary world and be transported to something truly remarkable. It is said that sometimes, the "angel" in the song can be interpreted as being a substance of drugs or alcohol, the desire to be taken away from reality through a substance that could come in the form of a metaphorical “wings of gold.”
