for that love i don't know how to wait anymore




beauty wears the crown...
... beauty plays the clown...


pavarotti solo...

you say that the river
finds the way to the sea
and like the river
you will come to me
beyond the borders
and the dry lands
you say that like a river
like a river...

the love will come
the love...
and i don't know how to pray anymore
and in love i don't know how to hope anymore
and for that love i don't know how to wait anymore...


miss sarajevo; u2/passengers

Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away.
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day.
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
Is there time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear.
Here she comes, heads turn around
Here she comes, to take her crown.
Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell.
A time for different colours
Different names you find hard to spell.
Is there a time for first communion
A time for East 17
Is there time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen.
Here she comes, beauty plays the clown
Here she comes, surreal in her crown.
Dici che il fiume trova la via al mare
Che come il fiume giungerai a me
Oltre i confini e le terre assetate
L'amore giungerà, l'amore
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare.
Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees.
Is there a time for laying tables
When the night is set to freeze.
O lijepa, o draga, o slatka slobodo,
[dar u kom sva blaga vi--nji nam bog je do...]

This song was inspired by a documentary; also called 'Miss Sarajevo'... which covered a beauty pageant held in war-torn Yugoslavia, with guns firing all around... the end of the song Bono recites "O lijepa, o draga, o slatka slobodo... " which means oh beautiful oh sweet freedom; verses written by the Croatian famous writer Ivan Gunduli.

a time for everything...

there is an appointed time for everything and there is a time for every event under heaven... a time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted... a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build up... a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance... a time to throw stones, and a time to gather... a time to embrace, and a time not to... a time to search, and a time to give up as lost... a time to keep, and a time to throw away... a time to tear apart, and a time to put back together together; a time to be silent, and a time to speak... a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace...
ecclesiastes 3:1-15
