Now let the day
Just slip away
So the dark night may watch over you
Velvet blue
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
Come and dream the night with me
Nocturne
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 there 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 lay
It will give way
When the dark night delivers the day
Nocturne

It embraces your heart and your soul

Jangan takut

When the night draws near
Dan memenuhi Anda dengan impian dan keinginan
And fills you with dreams and desire
Seperti anak kecil yang tertidur
Like a child asleep
Sangat hangat, sangat dalam
So warm, so deep
Anda akan menemukan saya di sana menunggu Anda
You will find me there waiting for you

This song has a mysterious feeling and I believe everything is connected with one way or another.
@dinojiang9742
Because they are, indeed.
@morganpirate9127
There are mysteries we are not meant to solve. But we are meant to enjoy.
Relax.
For a moment drift away into one of those mysteries, you will not be hurt. Just travel through that one night in true true love and trust.

Scientifically speaking, everything is connected.

It's like a mother singing a lullaby to a child who died of illness. I can feel sadness and grief.

This is the Norwegian winner in European song contest years back, but without lyrics. It's an instrumental, only few words in the end. Love the original! Proud of my country and Secret garden 🇧🇻
@MollyAnnaD
Love how Norway always comes with music on Eurovision that represents their country. I also liked Christine Gulbrandsen alvesangen. ❤
