Chris De Burgh - The Bridge [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
They stood on the bridge together
And watched the river flow
And to pledge themselves forever
A place where lovers go
To fix a lock upon the bridge
And each would have a key
That told of their eternal love
The way that it must be

[Chorus]
And with this key, she said I give
My soul, my love, my heart
And if the lock should go from here
Then I will know that we must part

[Verse 2]
Oh but soon he had to leave her
To be a soldier far away
And she would go down to the cathedral
And every morning pray
To light a candle for her love
To bring him safely home
But on the day the letter came
She knew that he was gone

[Chorus]
With trembling hands, she opened it
To read the words which said
"It is with deep regret we must
Inform you that he's missing, believed dead"

Oh, oh …

[Verse 3]
She stood on the bridge at midnight
And watched the river flow
And the lock was in her fingers
Into the water she would go
But in the distance heard a voice
Calling out her name
And as he ran to her, she fell
In his arms again

[Chorus]
And with this key I gave, he said
My soul, my love, my heart
And when I saw the lock was gone
I knew that we could never be apart
No, oh …
We will never part!
