Piece of Love – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

Delve into the soulful R&B sounds of Guy's "Piece of My Love" to explore the English language through themes of love, vulnerability, and commitment. This song offers a fascinating look into idiomatic expressions related to love, such as giving "a piece of one's heart," and provides insight into how nuanced emotions are conveyed in English lyrics. Its rich narrative about partial emotional availability makes it a compelling track for understanding conversational and emotional English in a musical context.

[English]

Piece of love

the time that you shine

is all I ever dreamed about.

Tomorrow something is going to change.

That is the feeling that I get.

I hurry all the way to you, who waits for me in the mirage,

glancing over to the town filling with colors.

I run out to you.

Yes, I felt the winds of love.

When I meet you, suddenly,

this stolen heart of mine throbs.
