Sarah Àlainn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here




You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sarah Alainn's song "Angel" speak about the struggles of life and the desire to escape from those struggles. The first stanza speaks about waiting for a second chance or a break that would make everything okay, but there always seems to be a reason to feel not good enough. The singer speaks about needing distraction and release from the memories that trouble her. She yearns to be empty and weightless, hoping to find some peace.


In the chorus, the singer imagines slipping away in the arms of an angel, leaving behind the darkness and fear that surround her. She describes being pulled from the wreckage of her silent reverie, a place where she's trapped in her own thoughts and emotions. She hopes to find comfort and solace in the embrace of the angel, where she can feel safe and secure.


The second stanza speaks more specifically about the struggles the singer is facing. She's tired of the straight line and the vultures and thieves that seem to follow her everywhere she goes. She speaks about the storm twisting around her and the lies she has to tell in order to cover up her own sense of lack. She knows that escaping one last time won't make any real difference, but she still longs for the sweet madness and glorious sadness that brings her to her knees.


Overall, the song speaks to the human desire for comfort and release from the struggles of life. It's a poignant reminder that we all need help and support at times, and that it's okay to lean on others when we're feeling overwhelmed.

Для тех, кто ищет перевод)
ああ 涙 流れてる
この頬を光らせ
生きている哀しみを洗って
ああ 涙 飞んでゆけ
风の中 自由に

ああ 涙 苦しみの
锁などほどいて
残酷な运命に负けずに
ああ 涙 あふれても
青空を见上げる

на русский гуглом:
Ах, слезы текут
Пусть эти щеки сияют
Смойте печаль от того, что вы живы
Ох, пусть слезы улетят
свободно на ветру

О, слезы боли
Развяжите замок и т. д. (???)
Не поддаваясь жестокой судьбе
Ах, даже если мои слезы переполнятся
посмотри на голубое небо

すきとおった歌声、本当に癒されます。

@user-oe1vr9ti6r

これは、ヘンデルのオペラ「リナルド」というオペラの中の一曲で、囚われの身になったお姫様が、恋人リナルドを想って歌うそのタイトルも「私を泣かせてください」というアリアなんです。このアリアは、世界でも指折りのイタリアのオペラ歌手、バルトリさんの18番ですが、サラ オレインさん、彼女とは、また一味違ったみずみずしい魅力をこの曲から引きだしています。ヴァイオリンも、ものすごく上手で、世界的ヴァイオリニスト、シモン ゴールドベルグという先生のの孫弟子にあたります。その上東京大学には留学してしまうし、とんでもないアーティストなんですね。
