Sei hai paura
Piangera'
E dentro gli'occhi tuoi
la &.
Il correrera'
e' l'asiugero'&.
Il sole rivertrai
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
(Mary)
When you're down and out, when you're on the street
When evening falls, when it falls so hard I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes, oh yeah, and pain is all, all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
(Andrea) I will lay me down,
(Mary) I will lay me down
(Both)
Sail on silver girl, sail on by.
Your time has come to shine
(Andrea)
All you dreams,
(Mary) All those dreams are on their way.
(Both)
See how they shine.
(Mary)
Oh-oh
If you need a friend, if you need a friend&
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down, I will lay me down.
(Both)
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
I will ease your mind
I will ease your mind
I will ease your mind
I will ease your mind
I will ease your mind.
(Both) I WILL EASE YOUR MIND.
(Mary) I will ease your mind.
About Bridge over Troubled Water (feat. Andrea Bocelli)
Mary J. Blige's rendition of "Bridge over Troubled Water" features Andrea Bocelli, blending her signature gritty R&B vocal style with the tenor's classical crossover approach. This collaboration merges the soulful depth of Blige's career-defining work with the polished grandeur of Bocelli, creating a recording that transcends genre boundaries. The track draws upon the original 1970 composition by Simon & Garfunkel, reimagining its themes of resilience and emotional support through a modern lens. By pairing Blige's raw, emotive delivery with Bocelli's soaring high notes, the song exemplifies the power of cross-genre duets in contemporary music. It stands as a testament to Blige's ability to reinterpret classic material while maintaining her distinct artistic identity within the hip-hop and soul landscape.
