Aan Mijn Darling
Will Tura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ver van hier
wijd ik iedere dag
een liefdeslied
aan een meisje
(to my darling)
wonderzacht
(to my love)
(i sing a song)
heel mijn hart
ik weet dat een liefdesbrief haar dolgelukkig maken zou
want nu denkt ze misschien
dat ik niet meer van haar hou
maar ik weet geen mooie woorden neer te leggen
op papier
mijn gevoelens moet je raden in mijn muziek
maar mijn darling
(but my darling)
is ver van hier
(is not here)
en ze hoor niet eens
(she doesn't hear)
mijn melodie
en de woorden
(and the love words)
die ik zing
(that I sing)
gaan verloren in de wind
(are gone forever in the wind)
oh, mijn darling
(oh my darling)
jij raadt het nooit
(you never know)
maar ik hou van jou
(that I love you)
en mis je zo
aan mijn darling
(to my darling)
ver van hier
(to my love)
wijd ik iedere dag
een liefdeslied
aan mijn meisje
(to my darling)
wonderzacht
(to my love)
schenk ik in dit lied
(I sing a song)
heel mijn hart
(with all my heart)
maar mijn darling
(but my darling)
is ver van hier
(is not here)
en ze hoort niet eens
(she doesn't hear)
mijn melodie
(my melody)
en de woorden
(and the love words)
die ik zing
(that I sing)
gaan verloren in de wind
(are gone forever in the wind)
oh, mijn darling
(oh my darling)
jij raadt het nooit
(you never know)
maar ik hou van jou
(that I love you)
en mis je zo...
(end)
lyric sync. by william
The song "Aan Mijn Darling" by Will Tura is a heartfelt love letter in the form of a song. The lyrics express the singer's longing for his beloved, who is far away from him. Every day, he dedicates a love song to her, but he knows that his efforts might be in vain, as the song might not reach her ears. He wishes he could write a love letter to her, but he can't find the words that would do justice to his feelings.
The singer acknowledges that a love letter could make his darling happy, but he believes that his music can convey his emotions more effectively. He admits that he misses her dearly, and his love for her is unwavering. He hopes that someday his love will find a way to reach her and she will know how much he cares for her.
The song is a beautiful tribute to love in its purest form. It captures the intense feeling of yearning and the agony of separation with soulful music and touching lyrics.
