?Dici che il fiume?
Miss Sarajevo is one of my all time favorites. Does anybody know if this has ever been played live? I've been to 4 U2 concerts - never saw them play this one. This is a rare song where Pavarotti's awesome voice is juxtaposed neatly with Bono's creative lyrics and the traditional U2 sound. Bono and Pavarotti teamed up to voice their protest against Massacres and Atrocities of the Bosnian war.

Pavarotti's stanza appears at the end of the song - probably the best part of the lyrics. The spirit of the song is lifted up through Pavarotti's passionate tune.

Is there a time for keeping a distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown

Is there a time to walk for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colors
Different names you find it hard to spell

Is there a time for first communion
A time for east 17
Is there a time to turn the mecca
Is there a time to be a beauty queen

Here she comes
Beauty plays the crown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown


Dici che il fiume
trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
e le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
come fiume
L'amore giunger
L'amore
E non so pi pregare
E nell'amore non so pi sperare
E quell'amore non so pi aspettare



You say that the river
finds the way to the sea
And as the river
you'll come to me
Beyond the borders
and the thirsty lands
You say that as river
As river
Love will come
Love
And I cannot pray anymore
And I cannot hope in love anymore
And I cannot wait for love anymore


Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
When the night is set to freeze
