AURORA - Black Water Lilies Lyrics






When I am on a boat
I float I know I can never drown
I see underwater land
The wind, the wind is the only sound

Take your hand and I go under
I'm under and above
Take your hand and I go under
I'm under and above

On the river
I'm floating in
Underwater
I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies

In the river
I'm floating in
Underwater
I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies

Black water lilies

Arms are reaching for
My arms I can see no more
We dance as we float around
We head towards the ocean floor

Take your hand and I go under
I'm under and above
Take your hand and I go under
I'm under and above

On the river
I'm floating in
Underwater
I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies

In the river
I'm floating in
Underwater
I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies
A thousand black water lilies

I am warm
Crawling out
I am reborn

Water lilies
Water lilies
Water lilies
Water lilies

    aún no supero que la vi en vivo y no dejé de llorar en todo el concierto :( te amo aurora wey

  2. L.... B....

    The gesture at the end when she hides behind her arms are so beautiful. It’s like:
    -I just exposed my vulnerability by voice and smile. You were nice but there’s something I have to protect!

  3. D.... V....

    Sublime talent, wonderful wonderful person. Love her so much...
    Cutest bean in the world

    OHH EMMM GGGGEE SHE'S THE BEST SINGER AND THE HIGH NOTES SHE REALLY DID IT O MAY GHAD😵😵😵😵😍😍😍😍😍😍

  7. K.... J....

    3:30 I love how the musicians nod their head in sync during the long "oooo" when the note gets higher, and aurora is just singing there while standing still. It's as if Aurora is the falling drop of water, and the ripple effect happens to the musicians, and then continued by the cheering audience. It gives me goosebumps everytime.

  8. L.... S....

    Creepy but I like it cause I'm creepy too

    L.... S....

    Lame Shake Her early songs can be a bit eerie that’s true

  9. J.... A....

    Here music is so beautifule she doesn't even need autotune her voice is just ethereal

  10. J.... M....

    3:13 from here to the rest of the song is my favorite part

  11. C.... K....

    When I'm on a boat
    I float, I know I can never drown
    I see underwater now
    The wind is the only sound

    Take your hand when I go under
    I'm under and above
    Take your hand when I go under
    I'm under and above

    On the river
    I'm floating in
    Underwater
    I'm diving into the ocean
    A thousand black water lilies


    Black water lilies

    Arms are reaching forward
    My arms, I can see no more
    We dance as we float around
    We head towards the ocean floor

    Take your hand when I go under
    I'm over and above
    Take your hand when I go under
    I'm over and above

    On the river
    I'm floating in
    Underwater
    I'm diving into the ocean
    A thousand black water lilies

    And the river
    I'm floating in
    Underwater
    I'm diving into the ocean
    On thousand black water lilies

    I am warm, crawling out
    And I am reborn

    Water Lilies

    "Lírios D'água Pretos"


    Quando eu estou em um barco
    Eu flutuo, eu sei que nunca posso me afogar
    Eu vejo debaixo d'água agora
    O vento é o único som

    Pego a sua mão quando eu vou para baixo
    Eu estou além
    Pego a sua mão quando eu vou para baixo
    Eu estou além

    No rio
    Eu estou flutuando
    Debaixo d'água
    Estou mergulhando no oceano
    Mil lírios d'água pretos

    Lírios d'água pretos

    Braços estão chegando para a frente
    Meus braços - Eu não vejo mais
    Nós dançamos enquanto flutuamos por aí
    Nos dirigimos para o chão do oceano

    Pego a sua mão quando eu vou para baixo
    Eu estou além
    Pego a sua mão quando eu vou para baixo
    Eu estou além

    No rio
    Eu estou flutuando
    Debaixo d'água
    Estou mergulhando no oceano
    Mil lírios d'água pretos

    Eu estou flutuando
    Eu me lembro
    Debaixo d'água
    Estou mergulhando no oceano
    Sobre mil lírios d'água pretos

    Estou quente, me rastejando
    E eu renasci

    Lírios d'água

  53. H.... M....

    I prefer this performance of this song to the studio. Something about the audio on this one.

    H.... M....

    listen to the acoustic version of the song... Amazing

  54. K.... W....

    I love the album versions but her live performances especially this concert are so much more emotional

  55. j.... ....

    I came here to see if she could hit the high note at the end, and she did. Flawless.

    j.... ....

    listen to the acoustic version of the song... Amazing

  56. J.... C....

    The last vocal note is just magical. It is the perfect ending.

  57. D.... D....

    Aurora was inspired to write this song after a dream, saying in an interview:

    “Black Water Lilies was a dream I had. The melody was playing in the background. And I was dreaming that there was a hand, and I grabbed it, and it took me underwater. And there was a river, unter the water, running down. And I floated on the river, under the water, and I came to this magic place with lots of black water lilies – floating on the water – which was underneath the water. It was a very strange dream. When I woke up I ran straight to the piano and wrote the song.”

  58. A.... A....

    KEEP SMILING AURORA💓😭

  59. R.... E....

    Never gets old truth be told we all feel like we are drowning and our existence is flooding the world but nobody seems to care

  60. C.... M....

    Aurora sings our hope

  61. G.... A....

    My favorite Aurora song! I don't know why it touches me so deeply! <3

  66. R.... S....

    TODOS DEVERIAM ESCUTAR ESSA MÚSICA, MEU DEUS

  67. I.... B....

    essa música me deixa extasiado, é tão profunda e linda

  68. M.... H....

    I'm here for the high note at the end. Is she human?

    M.... H....

    eu r stew pid nope

  69. Z.... ....

    I just want to trap her with a net, put her in a bottle. And keep her to myself forever.

  70. Z.... ....

    Every song is just incredible. Her live performance is Amazing as well.

  71. G.... N....

    She takes everbody with her to the final surreal note.

  87. s.... p....

    Sentimientos inexplicables 💕
