Nocturne
Rolf Loveland & Fionnula Sherry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So the dark night may watch over you
Then the view silent, true
It embraces your heart and your soul, Nocturne
Never cry, never sigh
You don't have to wonder why
Always be, always see
Have no fear when the night draws near
And fills you with dreams and desire
Like a child asleep so warm, so deep
You will find me their waiting for you, Nocturne
We will fly, claim the sky
We don't have to wonder why
Always be, always see
Come and dream the night with me, Nocturne
Though darkness fades
It will give way
When the dark night delivers the day, Nocturne
In Rolf Loveland & Fionnula Sherry's song, "Nocturne," the lyrics and music blend together seamlessly to create a haunting and beautiful melody that's both calming and mesmerizing. The song talks about letting go of the day and allowing the night to take over, all while embracing your heart and soul. It's a song about finding love and comfort in the quiet and stillness of the night.
The first verse sets the mood for the song with its soft and gentle opening, "now let the day just slip away." This line implies that it's time to let go of the troubles and stresses of the day and embrace the peace of the night. The second line, "so the dark night may watch over you," reinforces the idea that the night is a time for rest and protection. The view is then described as "silent, true," which indicates that the night is a moment of clarity.
The chorus is a call to action, encouraging the listener to relax, dream, and enjoy the night. "Never cry, never sigh, you don't have to wonder why" means that there's no need to be sad or worried when the night comes. "Always be, always see" implies that the night is a time to be present and observe your surroundings. "Come and dream the night with me, Nocturne" reveals that the song is an invitation to experience the night together.
The verse that follows is about finding comfort in the darkness. "Have no fear when the night draws near and fills you with dreams and desire" suggests that the night is a time for contemplation and introspection. The metaphor "like a child asleep so warm, so deep" indicates the feeling of safety and security that can be found in the quiet of the night. The line "you will find me there waiting for you, Nocturne" portrays the idea of a loved one being with you through the night.
The final chorus speaks of the night's temporary nature, "though darkness fades it will give way when the dark night delivers the day." This line implies that even though the night is a beautiful and peaceful time, it's fleeting and ultimately gives way to day.
Overall, "Nocturne" is a beautiful and haunting song that speaks to the beauty and tranquility of the night. It's a tribute to the comforting presence of the darkness and the love that can be found in shared moments of peaceful silence.

If anyone wants to know the lyrics of what she’s singing, it’s
«Let the day get its rest now
And the night will watch for it
Nocturne
See, the darkness must at some time pass
So the night can give birth to a new day»
Imagine so few words making up such a powerful song.

Marina Ann: the lyrics are:
La dagen få
Sin hvile nå
Og natten vil våke for den
Nocturne
Selv mörket må
En gang forgå
Så natten kan föde en dag
In English:

And the night will guard in its place
Nocturne
