Ebb tide
Mina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First the tide rushes in, plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea and the sea is very still once more
So I rush to your side like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought, will your arms open wide?
At last face to face, and as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel you are love, you are real
Really mine in the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb I'm at peace in the web of your arms

First the tide rushes in, plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea and the sea is very still once more
So I rush to your side like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought, will your arms open wide?
At last face to face, and as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel you are love, you are real




Really mine in the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb I'm at peace in the web of your arms

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mina's song "Ebb Tide" describe the rhythm of a relationship that seems to sway with the ebb and flow of the tides. At the start, the lyrics say "First the tide rushes in, plants a kiss on the shore. Then rolls out to sea and the sea is very still once more." This initial imagery sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, where the singer compares their desire to be with their lover to the flow of the tide. The singer rushes to their lover's side "like the oncoming tide," hoping that their arms will open wide in a welcoming embrace.


Once they are together, the singer experiences the feeling of being truly loved and cared for. They can tell that their lover is "real" and that they belong together. The last line of the chorus brings the imagery of the tide back into focus, saying "Like the tide at its ebb I'm at peace in the web of your arms." This line suggests that the singer feels a sense of calm and security when they are with their lover, just as the tide reaches a state of stillness at low tide.


Overall, the lyrics of "Ebb Tide" use the natural phenomenon of the ocean's tides to describe the emotional highs and lows of a romantic relationship. The singer's experiences of longing, love, and peace all find parallel in the cycle of the tide.


Line by Line Meaning

First the tide rushes in, plants a kiss on the shore
Just like the tide eagerly rushes to the shore to shower it with affection, I too am very eager to be by your side and shower you with my love


Then rolls out to sea and the sea is very still once more
After showing affection, the tide retreats and becomes calm. Similarly, after showering you with love, I hope for a peaceful and calm life with you


So I rush to your side like the oncoming tide
Just like the tide rushes towards the shore, I too am constantly rushing towards you, my beloved


With one burning thought, will your arms open wide?
As I move closer to you, I can't help but wonder if you will embrace me with open arms or not


At last face to face, and as we kiss through an embrace
Finally, we are face-to-face and as we embrace and kiss, I can feel the love between us


I can tell, I can feel you are love, you are real
I can sense that you are my true love and our love is real and strong


Really mine in the rain, in the dark, in the sun
No matter what the situation, be it good or bad, I know that you are mine and we will go through it all together


Like the tide at its ebb I'm at peace in the web of your arms
Just like the tide is peaceful when it ebbs and recedes, I too feel at peace and comforted in your loving embrace

At last face to face, and as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel you are love, you are real
Really mine in the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb I'm at peace in the web of your arms

questo pezzo difficilissimo mise in difficoltà perfino un maestro come
Sinatra. peccato che la versioine dal vivo di Mina a Studio Uno non sia
più disponibile per questioni di diritti tv della RAI che sta bloccando
molti capolavori di Mina dal vivo nelle sue straordinarie performances
in TV.

So I rush to your side
Così mi precipito al tuo fianco
Like the oncoming tide
Come la marea in arrivo
With one burning thought
Con un pensiero che brucia
Will your arms open wide
Saranno le braccia spalancate

At last we're face to face
Finalmente siamo faccia a faccia
And as we kiss through an embrace
E mentre ci baciamo con un abbraccio
I can tell, I can feel
Posso dire, posso sentire
You are love, you are real
Tu sei l'amore, sei reale 130
