Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ari-Ari-Aria

I was on my knees and I prayed that she

Would show me through the light

Give her everything, she was like a dream

Reflectin' the moonlight

And I know that she could be bad for me

But I'm so damn hypnotized

She said, "I want your body"

(She said, "I want your body")

Madonna, virgin fallen

(Madonna, virgin fallen)

Sinful, no, I would never

(Sinful, no, I would never)

Sing to me, my forever Aria

Drink me, the eternal bond

Eat me, let me be your god

Save me with your Aria

Ari-Ari-Aria

When I'm alone, I feel her touch

A lethal sacrifice

So when she calls my name

I'll be by her side every night

Her melody's infectin' me

But I still long for Ari-Ari-Aria

She said, "I want your body"

(She said, "I want your body")

Madonna, virgin fallen

(Madonna, virgin fallen)

Sinful, no, I would never

(Sinful, no, I would never)

Sing to me, my forever Aria

Drink me, the eternal bond

Eat me, let me be your god

Save me with your Aria

Ari-Ari-Aria

She sings, "Ahh"

She sings, "Ahh"

She sings, "Ahh"

She sings, "Ahh"

Drink me, the eternal bond

Eat me, let me be your god

Save me with your Aria

Ari-Ari-Aria

Drink me, the eternal bond

Eat me, let me be your god

Save me with your Aria

Ari-Ari-Aria

Drink me (Ah), the eternal bond

Eat me (Ah), let me be your god

Save me (Ah) with your Aria

Ari-Ari-Aria

Key Grammar Structures

• I was on my knees and I prayed that she would show me through the light.

  ➔ Past continuous + past simple + reported clause

  ➔ Combining 'was on my knees' (past continuous) with 'prayed' (past simple) shows simultaneous past actions, and 'that she would show me' introduces a reported clause.

• I know that she could be bad for me.

  ➔ Modal verb 'could' for possibility

  ➔ The word 'could' softens the statement, expressing uncertainty or potential risk rather than certainty.

• She said, 'I want your body.'

  ➔ Direct speech with reporting verb

  ➔ The reporting verb 'said' introduces direct speech marked by quotation marks, preserving the speaker’s exact words.

• Sing to me, my forever Aria.

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ The imperative 'Sing' gives a direct command or request addressed to 'my forever Aria'.

• Drink me, the eternal bond.

  ➔ Imperative + appositive phrase

  ➔ 'Drink me' uses the imperative form, and 'the eternal bond' acts as an appositive explaining or renaming the command’s idea.

• When I'm alone, I feel her touch.

  ➔ Present simple with time clause

  ➔ The time clause 'When I'm alone' sets the condition for the main clause 'I feel her touch' in the present simple.

• Her melody's infecting me.

  ➔ Present continuous contraction

  ➔ The contraction 'melody's' stands for 'melody is', showing an ongoing action using the present continuous.

• Save me with your Aria.

  ➔ Imperative with prepositional phrase

  ➔ 'Save me' uses the imperative mood directed at the listener, and 'with your Aria' adds the means by which salvation occurs.
