"Miss Sarajevo" lyrics - BRIAN ENO

BRIAN ENO
"Miss Sarajevo"

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 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 (ooh-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 time to be a beauty queen?

Here she comes
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

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

===Translation of the Italian:===

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 like 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
