Had To Be
Montserrat Caballe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had to be
No escape, no room for doubt
No way out
Seeing you, it was easy to decide
Cut and dried
Had to be
Don't resist, don't even think at all
Simply fall
In love
This is what
Had to be
She was easy to seduce
Let her loose
In a world where the fake and shallow shine
She'll be fine
Had to be
She's a woman, nothing more
Falling for whatever comes along
She's so wrong
A fool
To herself
Had to be
Don't ever tell me
How to live my life, tell me who I should love
No don't ever tell me
What to say or do in the life I will share with you
Had to be (no one can tell me)
For we get what we deserve (how I should live my life)
Lose your nerve (no one can tell me)
And the fates hustle in and take control (or take control)
Of your soul
Had to be
Of your fool
Had to be
But the spark of hope remains
And sustains the echo of a smile
For a while (no one can tell me)
We're fools
To ourselves--have to be (no one has told me)
We're fools (it had to be)
To ourselves
Had to be

Results are dependent on actions and choices
Lose your nerve
When courage falters or disappears
And the fates hustle in and take control
Fortune or destiny can overtake and manipulate decisions
Of your soul
Taking over the deepest part of oneself
But the spark of hope remains
A glimmer of optimism endures
And sustains the echo of a smile
Still holds onto the memory of happiness
We're fools
We are foolish
To ourselves--have to be
It is necessary to be foolish to ourselves
It had to be
It was inevitable

Lyrics
When all the salt is taken from the sea
I stand dethroned
I'm naked and I bleed
But when your finger points so savagely
Is anybody there to believe in me
To hear my plea and take care of me?
How can I go on
From day to day
Who can make me strong in every way
Where can I be safe
Where can I belong
In this great big world of sadness
How can I forget
Those beautiful dreams that we shared
They're lost and they're no where to be found
How can I go on?
Sometimes I tremble in the dark
I cannot see
When people frighten me
I try to hide myself so far from the crowd
Is anybody there to comfort me
Lord...take care of me
How can I go on
From day to day
Who can make me strong in every way
Where can I be safe
Where can I belong
In this great big world of sadness
How can I forget
Those beautiful dreams that we shared
They're lost and they're no where to be found
How can I go on?

Suas vozes chamam atenção pela a potência das vozes. A voz de Montserrat é suave, a de freddie mercury é calma. Misturando as duas vozes vira duas vozes de anjo. Mais alguém em 2023 vendo essa obra prima?
