Diana
Münchener Freiheit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Long ago and in my mind
I can see your face lonely and lost in time
Ooh
You are gone like yesteryear
But the memories never will disappear
I think of you
I think of you
Yes, it′s true, I can't pretend
That the time could heal the taste of the bitter end
Ooh
Yes, it′s hard to understand
Why we come and go like circles upon the sand
I think of you

Diana
I know you're here
I close my eyes and see your face
That's all I have to do
To be with you
Diana
I know you′re here
Although I cannot touch your face
I know what I can do
To be with you
Diana
I know you′re here
I close my eyes and see your face
That's all I have to do
To be with you

Long ago, so far away
Still the afterglow is living with me today
Ooh
You are gone like yesteryear
But the memories never will disappear
I think of you

Diana
I know you′re here
I close my eyes and see your face
That's all I have to do
To be with you
Diana
I know you′re here
Although I cannot touch your face
I know what I can do
To be with you
To be with you
To be with you

Diana
I know you're here
I close my eyes and see your face
That′s all I have to do
To be with you
Diana
I know you're here
Although I cannot touch your face
I know what I can do
To be with you
Diana
I know you're here
I close my eyes and see your face




That′s all I have to do
To be with you

Overall Meaning

The song "Diana" by Münchener Freiheit is a nostalgic and melancholic ode to a lost love. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing for someone who is no longer there, but whose memories persist vividly. The song opens with the singer recalling the face of his lost love, who appears lonely and lost in time. He knows that time cannot heal the bitter end of their relationship and that it's hard to understand why we come and go like circles upon sand.


The chorus of the song, which repeats throughout, is addressed to Diana, as the singer acknowledges her presence in his mind. He closes his eyes and sees her face, which is all he has to do to be with her. The memories of their time together are still with him, despite the fact that she is gone, and the afterglow of their love remains.


Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on love, loss, and memory, and the chorus serves as a comforting reminder that even though Diana may be gone, she is still with the singer in his thoughts.
