Song Lyrics:

[Bono=Normal; Pavarotti=Italics]

Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with the 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, ooo-hoo-hoo
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take 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 giungera

Here she comes, ooo-hoo-hoo
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown

Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colours
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 to Mecca
Is there a time to be a beauty queen

Here she comes, ooo-hoo
Beauty plays the clown
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 giungera
L’amore…
E non so piu pregare
E nell’amore non so piu sperare
E quell’amore non so piu aspettare

[Translation of the above]
It’s said that a river
Finds the way to the sea
And like the river
You shall come to me
Beyond the borders
And the thirsty lands
You say that as a river
Like a river…
Love shall come
Love…
And I’m not able to pray anymore
And I cannot hope in love anymore
And I cannot wait for love anymore
[End of Translation]

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

O lijepa, o draga, o slatka slobodo
O lijepa, o draga, o slatka slobodo
O lijepa, o draga, o slatka slobodo

[Translation of the above Croation]
Oh beautiful, oh dear, oh sweet freedom
