Lyrics & Translation

[English]

When you're tired

And feeling small

When tears fill your eyes

I'll dry them all

...

’Cause I’m on your side

When times get tough

And friends are nowhere to be found

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

...

When you're down and out

When you're on the street

When evening falls so hard

I will comfort you

Yes, I'll take your part

When darkness comes

And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

...

Sail on, Silver Girl

Sail on by

Your time has come to shine

And all your dreams are on their way

See how they shine

Ooh, if you need a friend

I’m sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

...

Ease your mind

I will ease your mind

Ease your mind

...

[Italian]

When you're weary

And feeling small

When tears are in your eyes

I will dry them all

'Cause I'm on your side

When times get rough

And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

When you're down and out

When you're on the street

When evening falls so hard

I will comfort you

Yes, I'll take your part

When darkness comes

And pain, pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl

You sail on by

Your time has come to shine

And all your dreams are on their way

See how they shine

Ooh, if you need a friend

I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

Ease your mind

I will ease your mind

Ease your mind
