Broken Tale
Sophie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a chance
The dream became reality
Take a chance
It was fantasy
I will see
Winter stars above me
In the night
Sweet embrace
I will see
The future come above the blast
I can wean the human cries
Cryin' so high
I feel my heart in no hurt
And I'm fine
Myself forever
Let me love forever
You sweetheart, forever
Let me love forever
My lover dreams
Let me love forever
You sweetheart, forever
Let me love forever
This broken tale
Take a prayer
Let me harder into you
Take the path
I pray only
I can see
A country full of flowers
I can see
The light forever
Let me love forever
You sweetheart, forever
Let me love forever
My lover dreams
Let me love forever
You sweetheart, forever




Let me love forever
This broken tale

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sophie's song Broken Tale seem to express the idea of taking a chance and following one's dreams, even in the face of adversity. The first verse speaks of a dream becoming reality, and the second verse mentions seeing winter stars and a future above the blast - perhaps implying a difficult or uncertain situation. The chorus repeats the phrase "let me love forever" to express a desire for enduring and unconditional love, despite the brokenness or imperfection of the situation ("this broken tale").


The lyrics also contain religious imagery, such as the mention of prayer and a country full of flowers - which could represent a sort of Edenic paradise or heaven. The phrase "I can wean the human cries" suggests a desire to alleviate suffering and bring comfort to others. The repetitive and dreamy quality of the lyrics reinforces the importance of imagination, escapism, and hope in the face of hardship.

I just listened to it recently on fantasy radio, one of the best italo records I've ever heard.

Such a sweet track this one! The vocalist on this track appears to be Elisabetta Pancera and the producers are, of course, Mauro Farina & Giuliano Crivellente. Italo Disco β™₯

@aricarphotomuc

You can hear mauro Farinas voice aswell on the main chorus from what i can hear

@greek8goddess

or Elena Feretti, don't know if it's the same person

@Parko-dv3vg

Que buena mΓΊsica en las discotecas de 1986.

@julianratering8500

This is so mellow and melancholic, Parisian vibe... Just beautiful

@Bauglir100

Sophie's vocals also remind me of Shelby Flint (the singer of the various songs from Disney's The Rescuers). Same for the song "Faces" by Clio. It makes me wish Shelby had pursued a career in italo/synth music back during the 1980s.
