Lyrics
(Verse 1 - Solo Voice, building)
I come from where the rivers run so cold and deep (Fiddle weeps)
You come from where the sun-drenched cities never sleep
I know the words for snow, a hundred names or more (Whispered "Sníh," "Lumihiutale")
You know the waves and how they kiss a golden shore
We might not share a mother tongue, a common tale
But feel the rhythm rising, it will never fail
(Chorus - Full Band kicks in: Drums, bass, layered strings, enthusiastic backing vocals)
Let the violins cry out! (Hej!)
Let the people shout! (Hej!)
In every tongue, a single sound
The whole world spinning 'round
手をつないで (Te o tsunaide - Hold hands)
一起跳 (Yìqǐ tiào - Dance together)
Под этот ритм (Pod etot ritm - To this rhythm)
One sky, one beat tonight!
(Verse 2 - Voice with more rhythmic, spoken-word elements, keeping the energy high)
From the cafés of Paris, "Allez, viens!"
To the streets of Rio where the samba has no end
A Greek chorus singing "Ópa!" as the glasses start to cling
A Gaelic voice soars up, makes the heart want to take wing
We build a tower of Babel from our hopes and from our dreams
And the music is the mortar, or so it seems
(Chorus - Even bigger, with more orchestral swells and call-and-response)
Let the violins cry out! (Hej!)
Let the people shout! (Hej!)
In every tongue, a single sound
The whole world spinning 'round
手をつないで (Te o tsunaide)
一起跳 (Yìqǐ tiào)
Под этот ритм (Pod etot ritm)
One sky, one beat tonight!
(Bridge - The music softens slightly, the violin takes a melodic lead. The singer's voice is more sincere, building in intensity.)
The language of the mother, hush now, nyugi (Peace)
The language of the lover, mon amour, habibi
The language of the dancer is a stomp and a spin
The language of the fiddler is the place we all begin!
And the language of the heart? It doesn't need a word...
...it's the loudest sound you've ever heard!
(Build - The drums roll, the strings crescendo. The tempo subtly increases.)
(Final Chorus - Explosive energy. "Na zdrowie!" shouted over the music. Full orchestral and folk instrumentation.)
Let the violins cry out! (Hej! Hej!)
Let the people shout! (Oi! Oi!)
In every tongue, a single sound
The whole world spinning 'round
手をつないで (Te o tsunaide)
一起跳 (Yìqǐ tiào)
Под этот ритм (Pod etot ritm)
ONE SKY, ONE BEAT TONIGHT!
(Outro - The music keeps pumping, but begins to fade, repeating the core idea.)
One beat... tonight...
Siempre... (Always)
Всегда... (Vsegda - Always)
永远的 (Yǒngyuǎn de - Forever)
...just one beat.
