Nightingale
Norah Jones Lyrics
Nightingale, sing us a song
Of a love that once belonged
Nightingale, tell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?
Does it seem like I'm looking for an answer
To a question I can't ask
I don't know which way the feather falls
Or if I should blow it to the left
Of a love that once belonged
Nightingale, tell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?
All the voices that are spinnin' around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away
All the voices that are spinnin' around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
You can take me away

This song relates to another life in another time I lived. Now I just wander through life not feeling the same
Lt. Weinberg
It’s about a fable where a woman is raped by her brother in law and he cuts her tongue out. Her sister exacts revenge on her husband by serving her son to him during a meal. The man is outraged chases his wife and sister in law. Both women are blessed by the gods to become nightingales to escape this man. This story of this chirping bird is heard only just before dawn when very few are awake

Saw Norah in concert perform this song, as lovely and moving as the studio version. What a treasure her voice and music are...
endy henry
oui tout à fait
quand j'ai écouté pour la première Norah Jones cela a été pour moi un choc
sa beauté sa voix dégage une pureté magnifique
la beauté c'est la splendeur du vrai
Madame Norah Jones je vous aime depuis longtemps

Norah is a musician in every context. Her music is her voice and she lends that voice to a lot of good causes and good projects. Her star will shine eternal, still in the fullness of its strength when most others start to falter. Her talent is in her blood, her veins. The time when she is gone to heaven where she would surely belong, an angel such as her, the voice, and her music will live on forever.

Essa canção ainda me enche de emoções, relembra paixões de cunho fracassado. Mesmo sem ter nada haver sua intenção, me leva ao levitar de como tudo passa. A melodia, reflete à vida, sempre em uma crescente, de emoções e sentir poderosos. Fortes o suficiente pra não deixarmos de desistir. Este é o significado de Nightgale for me.
