Miss Sarajevo Lyrics

Miss Sarajevo lyrics

Is there a time for keeping a 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 

 A 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 walk for cover 

 A time for kiss and tell 

 Is there a time for different colors 

 Different names you find it hard to spell 

 

 Is there a time for first communion 

 A time for east 17 

 Is there a time to turn the mecca 

 Is there a time to be a beauty queen 

 

 Here she comes 

 Beauty plays the crown 

 Here she comes 

 Surreal in her crown 

 

 (Pavarotti) 

 Dici che il fiume 

 trova la via al mare 

 E come il fiume 

 giungerai a me 

 Oltre i confini 

 e le terre assetate 

 Dici che come fiume 

 come fiume 

 L'amore giunger 

 L'amore 

 E non so pi pregare 

 E nell'amore non so pi sperare 

 E quell'amore non so pi aspettare 

 

 English translation: 

 

 You say that the river 

 finds the way to the sea 

 And as the river 

 you'll come to me 

 Beyond the borders 

 and the thirsty lands 

 You say that as river 

 As river 

 Love will come 

 Love 

 And I cannot pray anymore 

 And I cannot hope in love anymore 

 And I cannot wait for love anymore 

 

 (Bono) 

 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
