Your Song
Marta Ritova Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could you be my song? I sing.
Could you be my touch that feels so real?
Can't be myself without you my babe, my babe.
Why you left me here?
I can't see you, it 's too dark, it's too real I can't imagine you.
So I could stay in your soul.
Let me be your song that sounds so real,
So you could feel my love, my love – my babe.
Could you be my air? I breathe.
Could you be my light that guides me?
Could you be my flame that keeps me alive?
Can't be myself without you my babe, my babe.
In Marta Ritova's song "Your Song," the singer is making a plea to her lover to be everything she needs in life. The song begins with a series of questions that showcases the singer's vulnerability and the depth of her feelings for her lover. She asks him to be her love, her song, and her source of physical comfort. The repetition of the phrase "my babe" emphasizes the intimacy she shares with him and highlights how important he is to her identity.
The second verse takes a darker turn, suggesting that the singer has been abandoned by her lover. She describes a sense of loss and disorientation, feeling lost and lost without him. She begs for him to return to her in any form, even if it's just as a sweet song that lingers in his soul.
The chorus picks up the tempo, as the singer sings with urgency, asking her lover to be her air, light, and flame. She needs him to guide her, to breathe life into her, and to give her an emotional spark that will keep her alive. It's a lovely but somewhat desperate love song that shows the depth of feeling when loved ones are apart and reminds us how important it is to express our emotions truthfully to our partners.
