Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beside me in the night
You touched me and calmed my fear
Turned darkness into light
I woke and saw you there
Beside me as before
My heart leapt to find you near
To feel you close once moreTo feel your love once more
Your strength has made me strong
Though life tore us apart
And now when the night seems long
Your love shines in my heart
Your love shines in my heart
The lyrics to "Once Upon A Time In The West" by Ennio Morricone, as performed by The Filmscore Orchestra, convey a sense of intense longing and emotional connection between two individuals. The opening lines describe waking up to find someone special next to the singer, someone who brings comfort and dispels fear. The touch of this person turns darkness into light, symbolizing their ability to bring positivity and hope into the singer's life.
As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the singer and this person have been separated by life's challenges. Despite the hardships they have faced and the time they spent apart, their love remains strong. The night, which represents a metaphorical period of difficulty and loneliness, becomes bearable because of the love that still resides in the singer's heart. This love acts as a source of strength, allowing the singer to endure and overcome the struggles they face. It becomes a beacon of light in the darkness, providing comfort and solace.

I woke and you were there
Upon awakening, I discovered your presence
Beside me in the night
Right by my side during the darkness

C’est une musique qui m’émeut aux larmes
D’une tristesse et mélancolie infinie et puis arrive ce moment de légèreté et de joie incroyable
Il y a tout dans cette composition
La vie … comme dans ce film
On passe par toutes les émotions
Et la flûte de pan va tellement bien à ces enfants de la balle
Perdus , errants et en même temps plein de vie de ressources et d’intelligence
Comme seule la rue sait enseigner souvent
Bref un chef d’œuvre de ces 2 génie ennio morricone et sergio leone

@@partouche3000 I love your comment about you cat you named noodle. It fits so much to this kids ( in the movie) wild cats that became tigers growing up
That makes me think about this group of friends real clan or gang
In the bad times and the good times
And also the betrayed of one strong sebjects friendship , brotherhood, suffering , and betrayal
Very strong , like biblical in a way
Yes again a masterpiece
Joy and sense of humor also
That we don’t find that much in the godfather
Another master piece
But much darker and realistic I guess , which is ok for me
The big difference, if we can compare those movies , is the soundtrack
Francis Coppola didn’t have ennio Morricone ….

I am from Turkey. I'm 22 years old and I cry every time I listen to this song. When I was a kid, I watched movies with my father every night. I remember the old days. I see how painfully human beings are losing their humanity day by day. I see how meaninglessly emotions disappear. This is very embarrassing for us. I try to nourish my soul by watching these beautiful movies and listening to these beautiful songs.

How this was never nominated for an Oscar is beyond the pale
@francescoarrighi-ku9gm
The editing by the producers distroyed the movie ... and it was a commercial flop and it was pushed away from any competition; in the complete version it's a masterpiece. Morricone made a lot of soundracks that deserved to be awarded (the mission, the untouchables, nuovo cinema paradiso, Malena, a lot of italian movies of the '60s and '70s... but for some strange reason it was never fully considered.

@@francescoarrighi-ku9gm 100%, idiotic producers stepping on the precious toes of a true genius of an artist — Sergio. Sergio and Ennio’s combination is akin to Christopher Nolan and Han Zimmer
