Sometimes I Dream
Mario Frangoulis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm lost in time,
where heroes go
and no one speaks
in broken words,
an lovers aren't afraid to know
each breath that calls,
each star that falls,an angel dies to be alive.
Am I dreaming or
am I in love?
E lucevan le stelle...
Ed olezzava la terra...
Stridea l'uscio dell'orto
E un paso sfiorava la rena...
Entrava ella, fragrante,
Mi cadea fra le braccia...
Sometimes I dream
a dream so real
I am decieved
The curtains part.
The stars reveal
a story that I must believe.
They turn a page,
They see a stage
and wonder
who they gaze upon.
Am I dreaming
or dying for love?
O, dolci baci, o languide carezze,
Mentr'io frementeLe belle forme disciogliea dai veli!
Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore...
L'ora è fuggita
E muoio disperato!
E non ho amato mai
Tanto la vita!
Sometimes I dream
Sometimes I dream
Sometimes I dream
Translation
1st italian paragraph:
And the stars were shining...
and the earth smelled sweet...
the garden gate creaked...
her footsteps barely touched the path..
She came, so fragrant,
and fell into my arms...
2nd italian paragraph:
What sweet kisses, slow and gentle caresses,
while, trembling, I released
the lovely face from its vail!
My dream of love s gone forever...
The hour has flown
and I die in despair!
Yet I've never been
so much in love with life!
The lyrics of "Sometimes I Dream" by Mario Frangoulis express the confusion between reality and dreams, emphasizing the power of dreams to blur the lines of everyday life. The song tells of a fantastical world where time has no grip and the heroes do the impossible. The singer seems to be lost in this world, observing everything with a sense of awe and uncertainty. The references to lovers who are not afraid to know each other and angels who die to be alive add to the dreamlike quality of the song. The inclusion of Italian lyrics in the middle of the song, Puccini’s famous aria “E lucevan le stelle” from the opera Tosca, adds an additional layer of romanticism and mystique to the overall piece.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Am I dreaming or am I in love?" which suggests that the singer is struggling to understand whether the world they are experiencing is real or a fabrication of their mind. The use of the word "sometimes" in the chorus and the title of the song also implies that the singer does not always dream, but when they do, the experience is otherworldly and memorable.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sometimes I Dream" capture the enchanting and surreal nature of dreams, while also touching on the themes of love and uncertainty.

This video is like a drug for me. Since the day I discovered it, I couldn't stay a day without watching it. Maybe the studio version of this song is more perfect, but this version is so emotional! And I love the fact that he uses to introduce his songs. It shows how much he loves his work and how happy he is to perform on stage for his audience. He doesn't just sing, he really shares his emotions with you...that's the real difference between a singer and a true artist!

@harpels1573
I think this particular song was composed especially for him. Nobody can sing this song with such power and emotion like him.
@eugenia_b73
+harpels Mario wrote the "Sometimes I Dream" part of the song himself! And yes, I agree that no one can sing this song like he does!
