Adagio
Robert Wells feat. Sofia Källgren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know how to reach you
I hear your voice in the wind
I feel you under my skin
Within my heart and my soul
I wait for you
Adagio
And all my dreams surround you
I see and I touch your face
I fall into your embrace
When the time is right, I know
You'll be in my arms
Adagio
I close my eyes and I find a way
No need for me to pray
I walked so far
I fought so hard
Nothing more to explain
One thing that still remains
Is the piano in place?
If you know how to find me
If you know how to reach me
Before this life fades away
Before I run out of faith
Be the only man to say
That you'll hear my heart
That you're giving your soul
Forever you stay
Aaaah
Before this life fades away
No, no, no, no, no
Before I ran out of faith
Be the only man to say
That you believe
Let me believe
I won't let go
Adagio
The lyrics to Robert Wells feat. Sofia Källgren's song Adagio speak to the intense yearning for a lost or distant love. The singer sings of not knowing how to reach or find this person, but feeling their presence all around them. The image of hearing their voice in the wind and feeling them under their skin conveys a sense of the love being almost elemental, a fundamental part of the singer's being. They wait and dream of this love, hoping that the time will come when they can be together again, set to the melancholy notes of the adagio tempo.
The second half of the song has a more urgent tone, as the singer pleads for this love to come back before it's too late. The line "before this life fades away" has a sense of finality to it, as if the singer is afraid they don't have much time left to be reunited with their beloved. The repeated refrain of "Adagio" underscores the emotional intensity of the song, the longing and desperation of the singer.

That you're giving your soul
That you're providing your spirit
Forever you stay
You'll remain forever by my side
Aaaah

@TheAmberFox
@DodgerReid Yes, almost. :) and not to forget Mio Min Mio where she sings "mio my mio" perfectly. That was the song that started her career if I remember correctly.
@FantasyMaker
@ShapeShade You must be wrong. Sofia sang Mio my Mio at her latest album from 2008. She have been around then in the musical world since late 80s. Her debute in melodifestivalen was in 89.

Hon har en underbar röst. Verkligen synd att låter som dessa inte uppskattas som de borde.
