Wicked
The Wizard and I Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you
No I don't want to fall in love
This world is always gonna brake your heart
No I don't want to fall in love
with you
What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing you do
To make me dream of you
No I don't want to fall in love
This world is always gonna brake your heart
No I don't want to fall in love
This world is always gonna brake your heart,
with you
The world was on fire, no-one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
No and I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I'll never dream that I lose somebody like you, no
Now I want to fall in love
This world is always gonna brake your heart
Now I want to fall in lust
This world is always gonna brake your heart,
with you
Nobody loves no-one
The lyrics to "Wicked Game" by The Wizard and I speak to the powerful and often destructive force of desire. The opening lines suggest a sense of chaos and desperation in the world, with the singer feeling helpless and alone. However, the introduction of the object of desire – the person who can save them – offers a glimmer of hope. The repetition of the line "I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you" underscores the intensity of this attraction and suggests that the singer was not expecting to feel this way.
Despite this attraction, the singer is cautious and conflicted. The repeated refrain of "No, I don't want to fall in love" shows their reluctance to fully open themselves up to the potential heartbreak that comes with romantic relationships. However, the pull of desire is so strong that the singer ultimately gives in, declaring "Now I want to fall in love." The contradictory emotions of the song – desire, caution, hope, and fear – create a complex portrait of the human psyche and the difficult choices we often face when it comes to matters of the heart.

El mago y yo
Estoy bien o fue un sueño
Quiero entender como fue
Que una maldición
hoy resulta un don
Un talento que me llevará al mago
Si quedo bien
Pues quedo bien
Cuando vea el mago
Lo que valgo aquí
Lo que verá el mago
Se pactó en cuanto nací
El no juzgará mi aspecto
No señor, él tiene un rango
Este mago tiene visión
No es un tonto munchkilando, no
El me dirá ya veo quien eres tú
La vida al fin nos unió
Y surge un gran par
El mago y yo
Cuando vea al mago
A otra verán
Lo que verá el mago
Y te respetaran
Tu hermana te presume
Y tu papá también
En todo oz nos adoran
Ir con el mago te hace bien
Tal vez tengo un don o es maldición
Pero por algo pasó
Seremos sin igual
El mago y yo
Un día dirá, oye elphaba
Que tal si alguien tan superior
Que alguien tan buena es su interior
Fuera hermosa en su exterior
Si no estás bien con tu coloración
Yo te ofrezco una solución
Que tal si digo que voy a desverdesacer hoy
Que importa si soy verde, rosa o gris
Y le diré como no
Que par tan especial
El mago y yo
Que par tan especial
El mago y
Sin límite
Me veo hoy sin límite
Y vislumbro un futuro como una predicción
Y si, la visión no es clara
Lo sé, se ve muy rara
Pero habrá un día aquí
Un gran festejo en todo oz
Y todo es por mi
Me veo junto al mago
Muy contenta he de vivir
Por dentro siento algo
Que me hace derretir
Será siempre así y así seguiré
Y diran hasta donde llegó
Verán que soy capaz
Van a quererme más y más
Él es el rey, yo soy su as
El mago y yo

Cynthia Erivo is gonna blow us away with her version. I mean, I saw a set video that shows her belting the final "The Wizard... And I!!!" that features the camera pulling away from her. Anyone else ready for Thanksgiving when Part 1 comes out?
