This is about the beauty pageant held at the height of atrocities in Sarajevo. It’s from the U2/Eno side project Original Soundtracks, under the pseudonym Passengers. The opera guy is Luciano Pavarotti. Here are the Italian lyrics translated into English, pure Bono:
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
Truly miss Pavarotti. In his later years, he did some pop music with other artists–so cool. I really went back in time, hearing him, hearing the Italian, starting crying at the word “love” in Italian, bittersweet memories, more Chiron healing–Thanks for sharing this.
that would be “MISTER opera” to you, eric!
:-)) that guy heh
“the opera guy”
hahahahahahahaha!
Chiron simply grew weary of life.
