Glósóli
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It floats above the stars
This is my home
It's filled with twisted light
Our prayers will speak soon
But not without words
Where I had lost you
But now I found you
I reach you
Glowing sun
And here you are and
And here you are and
Now I have found you
It's time to say goodnight
How could I reach you
When you have passed me by
I said the last word
Only this one word
It couldn't save you
From the long night
With all the brave hearts in opal skies
Glowing signs
And in your shadows, the frightened eyes
And here you are
Glosoli
And here you are
Glosoli
And here you are
Glosoli
And here you are
Glosoli
And here you are
And here you are
Glosoli
And here you are
The lyrics of Sarah Brightman's song "Glósóli" are full of imagery and emotions. The opening lines describe a room that floats above the stars and is the singer's home. This room is filled with "twisted light" which suggests that there is something unusual or surreal about this place. The next lines suggest that the singer is waiting for something to happen, as she says that "our prayers will speak soon but not without words." There is a sense of anticipation and hope in these words.
Then the lyrics take a turn as the singer talks about losing someone and then finding them again with just one word. It's unclear who this person is, but it's clear that they are very important to the singer. She describes them as a "glowing sun," which suggests that they bring light and warmth into her life. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that this person has passed away, and the singer is left with only memories. She says that she said the last word, but it couldn't save the person from the "long night."
The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "And here you are, Glósóli." It's unclear what this means, but it suggests that the person the singer lost is still with her in some way. Perhaps this is a reference to the Icelandic word "glósóli," which means "sun," and suggests that the person is still shining bright in the singer's memory.

There is a room
There exists a space
It floats above the stars
It is suspended in the sky above celestial objects
This is my home
This place is where I feel most comfortable and safe
It's filled with twisted light
The illumination is disrupted and distorted
Our prayers will speak soon
We will soon hear the answered responses to our prayers
But not without words
But not in silence or without communication
Where I had lost you
The location where we were once separated
But now I found you
But now I have reconnected with you
With only one word
With the utterance of only a single term
I reach you
I can establish a connection with you
Glowing sun
Radiant star
And here you are and
And I see you now
Now I have found you
I have finally discovered you
It's time to say goodnight
The moment to bid farewell has arrived
How could I reach you
How could I connect with you
When you have passed me by
When you have already moved beyond me
I said the last word
I spoke the final expression
Only this one word
Only this single term
It couldn't save you
It was unable to rescue you
From the long night
From the extended period of darkness
With all the brave hearts in opal skies
Together with all the courageous spirits within pearly clouds
Glowing signs
Radiant indications
And in your shadows, the frightened eyes
And within your periphery, the fearful gazes
And here you are Glosoli
And I see you, shining as the sun
And here you are Glosoli
And I see you, radiant and bright
And here you are Glosoli
And I see you, a beacon of light
And here you are Glosoli
And I see you, illuminating everything around you
And here you are Glosoli
And I see you, powerful and majestic
And here you are Glosoli
And I see you, a symbol of hope and possibility

Thank you for the English lyrics. So frustrating when I can’t understand what’s being sung. This is beautiful.

Sarah Brightman takes my breath away with her talents and puts me on cloud infinity! When I first learned about her, I immediately fell in love with everything about her music. She's gotten me through some very dark times, and I'm so thankful to be blessed enough to walk this existence in her graces.
