Edie Carey - I Never Thought I'd Say This... [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

After 20 years and 3,000 miles
I've finally found my home
And now I live in legends of
Days gone by
Amongst the crumbling
Glories of Rome

And now I find myself
Speaking in foreign tongues
Of future, love, and wedded bliss
Even though I swore
I'd never be among the ones
Who spoke of things like this

But now you're standing
Right in front of me
In all of your purity and grace
And though they all told me it would be this way
I have not the strength to face that

Somehow after all who came before
I still believe in true love
And if you kiss my forehead
One more time
I think I'll have to marry you

So we've got a year
In which to tell this tale
Of a love that could not be
And harsh reality is more
On my trail
With every passing week

And oh my love
Have you heard of little Italy'
It's in the city where I thrive
We could find humble refuge there
And keep this love alive

But somewhere in between
Lies Ireland
Sown with my roots
And your dreams
And we'd let the great green swallow us so willingly
So willingly because

Somehow after all who came before
I still believe in true love
And if you kiss my forehead
One more time
I think I'll have to marry you

Do you remember that perfect day'
It was that once-in-a-lifetime kind
We didn't even care
When the old man walked by
And heaven was that hillside

You know it's strange
But I can see us
When we're old and gray
But happy with our lives
We'll interrupt our talk of Sascha
With shared contented sighs

But who are you to make me
Think these thoughts'
You know this isn't like me
It goes against all
That I've been taught
But I'll try hard
And I'll try hard
And I'll try hard
To let it be

Somehow after all who came before
I still believe in true love
And if you kiss my forehead
One more time
I think I'll have to marry you
