Will Tura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoe groot mijn liefde is
Ik weet niet uit te leggen
Hoe dikwijls ik je mis
Geen enkel liefdewoordje
Raakt ooit over m'n mond
Maar weet je stille waters
Hebben de diepste grond
Kon je maar kijken
Tot diep in m'n hart Angelina
Dan zou je zien hoe je naam
Daar in't groot staat te lezen
Met meer dan duizende woorden
Van liefde zo zacht
Als je maar even kon kijken
Tot diep in m'n hart
Ik zou niet kunnen zeggen
Waarom ik van je hou
Ik weet niet uit te leggen
Wat me bevalt in jou
Want over liefde spreken
Is iets wat ik vermijd
Het is nochtans geen teken
Van onverschilligheid
Kon je maar kijken
Tot diep in m'n hart Angelina
Dan zou je zien hoe je naam
Daar in't groot staat te lezen
Met meer dan duizende woorden
Van liefde zo zacht
Als je maar even kon kijken
Tot diep in m'n hart
The song "Angelina" by Belgian singer Will Tura is a heartfelt expression of love for a woman named Angelina. The singer begins by admitting that he can't express the full extent of his love for her - he doesn't have the words for it. He also feels the pain of missing her when she's not there, and though he keeps his feelings to himself, he reveals that his love for Angelina is deep.
The singer then expresses a wish - that Angelina could see into his heart and understand the intensity of his feelings for her. He imagines that if she could look inside, she would see how her name is written in large letters, with more than a thousand words of tender love. He ends the song by acknowledging that he doesn't know why he loves Angelina or what it is about her that draws him to her, but he knows that talking about love is not a sign of indifference - it's just not something that comes naturally to him.

No sweet words of love
Raakt ooit over m'n mond
Ever escape my lips

Although it's not a sign
Van onverschilligheid
Of indifference
