The Merciful One
Zohar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've got a lot to learn
Lovin' you is playing with fire
And I might get my fingers burned
If I'm not the right one for you, baby
Don't keep me in the cloud too long
But try to let me down, kind of easy
When the right one comes along
I might find my trouble soon
Lovin' you is courtin' destruction
Like playin' games with my own due
If I'm not the right one for you, baby
Don't let me build my home too strong
But try to break it to me gently
When the right one comes along
When the right one comes along
Zohar's song The Merciful One is a lyrically intense song about love and the risks associated with it. The opening lines, "Holdin' you my spirits go up high, but I've got a lot to learn," indicate the euphoria that love can bring, but also the potential for challenges and lessons to be learned. The song then goes on to detail the potential dangers of love, with lines like "Lovin' you is playing with fire, and I might get my fingers burned" and "Lovin' you is courtin' destruction, like playin' games with my own due."
However, despite these warnings, the singer still desires to be with their love interest. They ask to be let down easy if they are not the right one, but still acknowledge the difficulty in doing so. The chorus repeats the phrase "When the right one comes along," indicating that the singer is still hopeful that they will find their perfect match in the future.
Overall, Zohar's The Merciful One is a song that explores the complexities of love and the risks that come with it.

Holdin' you my spirits go up high
Being close to you lifts my mood and makes me happy
But I've got a lot to learn
However, I still have a lot to discover and understand about you
Lovin' you is playing with fire
Being in love with you is risky and dangerous
And I might get my fingers burned
And I may suffer the consequences of my actions
If I'm not the right one for you, baby
If I am not the person you are looking for
Don't keep me in the cloud too long
Don't give me false hope or keep me in a dreamlike state for too long
But try to let me down, kind of easy
Instead, be gentle in letting me down if it doesn't work out
Kissin' you is askin' for trouble
Kissing you is engaging in something that could lead to problems
I might find my trouble soon
And I may encounter difficulties in the near future
Lovin' you is courtin' destruction
Loving you is like flirting with the prospect of destruction
Like playin' games with my own due
It's like I'm playing a dangerous game with my own destiny
Don't let me build my home too strong
If we're not meant to be together, don't let me get too invested in building a life with you
But try to break it to me gently
Try to let me down without hurting me too much
When the right one comes along
When the person who is right for me shows up

The most memorable song from the Buddha Bar I cd.

I've had this CD for years. I bought it for this song. I love how the drumming is quick, but the vocals are soulful.

Thank You So Much for the translation!
In my mind, I figured he was singing about a woman who loved her home and village n country so fiercely, she would pretend 2b a boy to join the fight if anyone messed with them, and she would become the best warrior in the entire legion..but then her family arranged her marriage now shes just an everyday wife n mother and nobody knows her secret 馃懜馃徑
