This post is to thank my dear friend, Karen, for her kind words and friendship on another thread. :-)
The video above is Hans Zimmer's "Now We Are Free”. I recently have had and watched its DVD quality (Live 2017) and love it and would like to share it here. Unfortunately, when I cut the video (to upload somewhere else and post its link here), its quality is lost too much. So I searched on youtube and found just this one (live 2016) that was closed to what I have. Still, its quality is still not so good. I'm really about that. But the singer's voice (not Lisa Gerrard) is still amazing.
I also read somewhere that the language and lyrics of the song “Now We Are Free” in Gladiator is only a special made-up language that Lisa Gerrard has used since she was a child to “talk to God.”
Wow! I thought it was some kind of ancient language. And it's always one of my most favorite songs of all time even I have not idea what it means.
I've just found its translation somewhere on the net (which I don't know if it's correct or not, as it was Lisa Gerrard 's made-up language, then, how could someone knew its meaning?):
Almighty Freedom
Almighty freer of the soul
Be free
Walk with me
Through the golden fields
So lovely
Lovely
We regret our sins, but...
We sew our own fate and
Under my face I remain feeble
Under my face, I smile
Aaahh)
Even alone/afraid
Under my face I will be waiting
Run with me now soldier of Rome
Run and play in the field with the ponies
.....
Almighty Freedom
Almighty freer of the soul
Be free
Be free
And imagine
Free with peace at last
It's lovely
It's lovely, this land
No one can believe or understand
How far I came just for my lovely family
I should have been there
with them when the world crashed down
But now they rest with me.
I'll never forget
How I felt that moment
I became free.
P.S. Finally my 1,000 posts. Another 2,500 posts left to struggle with so that I will catch up with Karen. Mmm...maybe in the next life?
