Confessions Tour

(Spoken)
I'm gonna tell you about love
Let's forget your life
Forget your problems
Administration, bills, and loans
Come with me

In the evidence of its brilliance
(3x)

(Spoken)
In the demonstration of this evidence
Some have called it religion
This is not a coincidence
Would you like to try

Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride there in mission style
Would you like to try
Let me be your guide
Put aside your pride
Future lovers hide love inside their eyes

In the evidence of its brilliance
(3x)

Love controlled by time
Future lovers shine for eternity
In a world that's free
Put away your past
Love will never last
If you're holding on to a dream that's gone

(Spoken)
I'm gonna tell you about love
Would you like to try

In the evidence of its brilliance
(3x)

(Spoken)
There's no love like the future love
Come with me

Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride there in mission style
Would you like to try

[In the evidence of its brilliance] (repeat in background)
Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride there in mission style
Would you like to try
(2x)

Brilliance (repeat, fading)

In the evidence of its brilliance

There's too much confusion
It's all an illusion
There's too much confusion

Down, down, down in your heart
Find, find, find the secret
Turn, turn, turn your head around
Baby we can do it, we can do it all right

Do you believe in love at first sight
It's an illusion, I don't care
Do you believe I can make you feel better
Too much confusion, come on over here

Chorus:
Can we get together
I really, I really want to be with you
Come on, check it out with me
I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too

I searched, I searched, searched my whole life
To find, to find, find the secret
And all I did was open up my eyes
Baby we can do it, we can do it all right

Do you believe that we can change the future
Do you believe I can make you feel better

(chorus 2x)

It's all an illusion
There's too much confusion
I'll make you feel better
If it's bitter at the start
Then it's sweeter in the end

Do you believe in love at first sight
It's an illusion, I don't care
Do you believe I can make you feel better
Too much confusion, come on over here

(chorus)

Chorus2:
Can we get together
I really want to be with you
Come on, check it out with me
I hope you feel the same way too

It's all an illusion
There's too much confusion
I'll make you feel better
If it's bitter at the start
Then it's sweeter in the end

I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you

I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

Chorus 1:
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last

You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold

Chorus 2:

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat
Next to mine

Oooh, oooh, oooh

You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours 'till the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide

(Chorus 2)

Like a virgin, ooh, ooh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?

(Spoken)
There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste

I haven't got much time to waste, it's time to make my way
I'm not afraid of what I'll face, but I'm afraid to stay
I'm going down my own road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight til I find a place of my own

Chorus 1:
Are you ready to jump
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump

We learned our lesson from the start, my sisters and me
The only thing you can depend on is your family
And life's gonna drop you down like the limbs of a tree
It sways and it swings and it bends until it makes you see

Chorus 2:
Are you ready to jump
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to, are you ready

(Spoken)
There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that you wait, the more time that you waste

I'll work and I'll fight til I find a place of my own
It sways and it swings and it bends until you make it your own

I can make it alone
I can make it alone
I can make it alone [my sisters and me]
I can make it alone [my sisters and me]
(repeat)

(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall

Chorus:
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me

I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me

(Chorus)

Chorus 2:
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know

(Chorus)

(Chorus 2)

Just one kiss on my lips
Was all it took to seal the future
Just one look from your eyes
Was like a certain kind of torture

Once upon a time
There was a boy and there was a girl
Just one touch from your hands
Was all it took to make me falter

Chorus:
Forbidden love
Are we supposed to be together
Forbidden love, forbidden love
Forbidden love
We sealed our destiny forever
Forbidden love, forbidden love

Just one smile on your face
Was all it took to change my fortune
Just one word from your mouth
Was all I needed to be certain

Once upon a time
There was a boy and there was a girl
Hearts that intertwine
They lived in a different kind of world

(chorus)

Just one kiss [Five]
Just one touch [Four]
Just one look [Three]
[Two]
[One]

(chorus 2x)

Just one kiss [Five]
Just one touch [Four]
Just one look [Three]
Just one love [Two]
[One]

(Chant)
Im nin'alu

daltei n'divim
Daltei marom

lo nin'alu

(7x)

Staring up into the heavens
In this hell that binds your hands
Will you sacrifice your comfort
Make your way in a foreign land

Wrestle with your darkness
Angels call your name
Can you hear what they are saying
Will you ever be the same

Chorus:
Mmmmmm
Im nin'alu, Im nin'alu
Mmmmmm
Im nin'alu, Im nin'alu

Remember, remember, never forget
All of your life has all been a test
You will find the gate that's open
Even though your spirit's broken

Open up my heart
And cause my lips to speak
Bring the heaven and the stars
Down to Earth for me

(Chant)
Im nin'alu
daltei n'divim

(chorus 2x)

(Chant)
El chai

El Chai, mareimawm al kawruvim

Kulawm b'rucho ya'alu

Wrestle with your darkness
Angels call your name
Can you hear what they are saying
Will you ever be the same

(chorus 2x)

(Chant)
El chai

El Chai, mareimawm al kawruvim

(Spoken)
The generous truly know
What will be given
Even if it does stop, you know
The gates of heaven are always open
And there's this God in the sky and the angels
How they sit, you know, in front of the light
And that's what it's about

Es gibt verschiedene Übersetzungen für den hebräischen Teil, da sich selbst die Gelehrten über die wahre Bedeutung des über 1000 Jahre alten Textes streiten. Hier einige Übersetzungen zur Auswahl, zuerst die, die Madonna selbst angibt:

If all of the doors of all of the generous peoples' homes are closed to you, the gates of heaven will always be open.

If the doors of the generous are closed, the doors of the Heights are not closed. The Living God reigns over the cherubs. In his spirit, all will rise.

If there be no mercy left in the world, the doors of heaven will never be barred. The Creator reigns supreme, and is higher than the angels. All, in His spirit, will rise.

Je suis désolée (French, "I am sorry")
Lo siento (Spanish, "I'm sorry")
Ik ben droevig (Dutch, "I am sad")
Sono spiacente (Italian, "I am sorry")
Perdóname (Spanish, "Forgive me")

(fade in)
I've heard it all before
(12x)

Chorus:
I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say "forgive me"
I've seen it all before
And I can't take it anymore

You're not half the man you think you are
Save your words because you've gone too far
I listened to your lies and all your stories

[I listened to your stories]
You're not half the man you'd like to be

(chorus)

Don't explain yourself 'cause talk is cheap
There's more important things than hearing you speak
You stayed because I made it so convenient

[I made it so convenient]
Don't explain yourself, you'll never see

Gomen nasai (Japanese, "I am sorry")
Mujhe maph kardo (Hindi, "Please forgive me")
Przepraszam (Polish, "I'm sorry")
Slicha (Hebrew, "Forgiveness")
Forgive me

[Sorry] (repeat in background)

I've heard it all before
(15x)

(chorus)

(begin chorus in background)
Don't explain yourself, 'cause talk is cheap
There's more important things than hearing you speak

(chorus continues in background)

You can call me a sinner
Or you can call me a saint
Celebrate me for who I am
Dislike me for what I ain't
Put me up on a pedestal
Or drag me down in the dirt
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But your names will never hurt

I'll be the garden, you'll be the snake
All of my fruit is yours to take
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because

Chorus 1:
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop

Cleopatra had her way
Mata Hari, too
Whether they were good or bad
Is strictly up to you

Life is a paradox
And it doesn't make much sense
Can't have the "femme" without the "fatale"
Please don't take offense

Don't let the fruit rot under the vine
Fill up your cup and let's drink the wine
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because

Chorus 2:
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop
No no, You know

(2x)

No no, you know
(3x)

I'll be the garden, you'll be the snake
All of my fruit is yours to take
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because

Chorus 2:
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop
No no, You know

(2x)

No no, you know
(3x)

I don't like cities, but I like New York
Other places make me feel like a dork
Los Angeles is for people who sleep
Paris and London, baby you can keep

Baby you can keep
(7x)

Chorus:
Other cities always make me mad
Other places always make me sad
No other city ever made me glad
Except New York
I love New York
I love New York
I love New York

If you don't like my attitude, then you can 'F' off
Just go to Texas, isn't that where they golf
New York is not for little pussies who scream
If you can't stand the heat then get off my street
Get off my street

Get off my street
You get off my street
(3x)

(chorus)

I love New York

[Get off my street, get off my street]
(3x)

Get off my street
You get off my street
(3x)

Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

Chorus:
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one

(chorus)

Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light

Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
Through the endless years

She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe

And I feel
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Quicker than a ray of light she's flying
Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying

Now I can tell you about success, about fame
About the rise and the fall of all the stars in the sky
Don't it make you smile
Let it will be
Just let it be
Won't you let it be

Now I can tell you about the place I belong
You know it won't last long
And all those lights they will turn down
Let it will be
Oh let it be
Just let it be
Won't you let it be

Now I can see things for what they really are
I guess I'm not that far
I'm at the point of no return
Just watch me burn

Let it will be
Just let it be
Oh let it be
Let it will be [Just let it be]
Just let it be [Let it will be]
Oh let it be [Got to let it be]
Oh let it be [Won't you let it be]

Now I can tell you the place that I belong
It won't last long
The lights, they will turn down

[Oh let it be]
[Oh let it be]
[Oh let it be]
Won't you let it be
[Oh let it be]
You got to let it be
[Just let it be]
Anyone can see
[Won't you let it be]
Let it will be

Just watch me burn
Oh let it be
Just let it be
Won't you let it be
Won't you let it be [Just let it be]
Oh let it be [Let it will be]
Just let it be [Got to let it be]
Won't you let it be [Won't you let it be]
Won't you let it be

Now I can tell you [Oh let it be]
Tell you, tell you, tell you, tell you [Just let it be]
About success, about fame [Won't you let it be]
About fame, about fame [Won't you let it be]
About fame, about fame

Oh let it be
Just let it be
Won't you let it be

I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly a game
Some things cannot be bought

I got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools so gladly

And now I find
I've changed my mind

Chorus:
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love

I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone

I had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt so happy

(chorus)

Mmmmm, ooohhh, mmmmm
Famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one-night stand, no far-off land
No fire that I can spark
Mmmmm, mmmmm

(chorus)

Now I find I've changed my mind
This is my religion

I can't remember
When I was young
I can't explain
If it was wrong
My life goes on
But not the same
Into your eyes
My face remains

Chorus:
I've been so high
I've been so down
Up to the skies
Down to the ground

I was so blind
I could not see
Your paradise
Is not for me

Autour de moi (all around me)
Je ne vois pas (I don't see)
Qui sont les anges (who the angels are)
Surement pas moi (certainly not me)
Encore une fois (once again)
Je suis cassée (I am broken)
Encore une fois (once again)
Je n'y crois pas (I don't believe it)

(chorus)

There is a light
Above my head
Into your eyes
My face remains

(chorus)

I can't remember
When I was young
Into your eyes
My face remains

Into your eyes
My face remains

(chorus 2x)

(Spoken)
Hey Mister D.J.

Do you like to boogie-woogie

Do you like my Acid Rock

Hey Mister D.J.
Put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music starts
I never wanna stop
It's gonna drive me crazy

Music

Chorus:
Music makes the people come together
Music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel
[Never gonna stop]

Don't think of yesterday
And I don't look at the clock
I like to boogie-woogie

uh, uh
It's like riding on the wind
And it never goes away
Touches everything I'm in
Got to have it everyday

Erotica, romance (repeat)

My name is Dita
I'll be your mistress tonight
I'd like to put you in a trance

If I take you from behind
Push myself into your mind
When you least expect it
Will you try and reject it
If I'm in charge and I treat you like a child
Will you let yourself go wild
Let my mouth go where it wants to

Give it up, do as I say
Give it up and let me have my way
I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck
I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to ...

I'd like to put you in a trance, all over
Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body (repeat 2x)
Erotic, erotic

Once you put your hand in the flame
You can never be the same
There's a certain satisfaction
In a little bit of pain
I can see you understand
I can tell that you're the same
If you're afraid, well rise above
I only hurt the ones I love

Give it up, do as I say
Give it up and let me have my way
I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck
I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to ...

I know you want me
I'm not gonna hurt you
I'm not gonna hurt you, just close your eyes

Como puede ser verdad (How could it be true?)

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Chorus:

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita (The beautiful island)
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Te dijo te amo (He said to you, "I love you")
I prayed that the days would last
They went so fast

(Chorus)

I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

(Chorus 2x)

La la la la la la la
Te dijo te amo (He said to you, "I love you")
La la la la la la la
El dijo que te ama (He said that he loves you)

You must be my Lucky Star
'Cause you shine on me wherever you are
I just think of you and I start to glow
And I need your light
And baby you know

Chorus:
Starlight, starbright first star I see tonight
Starlight, [starbright] make everything all right
Starlight, starbright first star I see tonight
Starlight, [starbright] yeah

You must be my Lucky Star
'Cause you make the darkness seem so far
And when I'm lost you'll be my guide
I just turn around and you're by my side

(Chorus)

Come on shine your heavenly body tonight
'Cause I know you're gonna make everything all right

You may be my lucky star
But I'm the luckiest by far

Time goes by so slowly
(5x)

Chorus:
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call, baby, night and day
I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you

Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
No time to hesitate
Those who run seem to have all the fun
I'm caught up, I don't know what to do

Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
I don't know what to do

(Chorus 2x)

Ring ring ring goes the telephone
The lights are on but there's no one home
Tick tick tock it's a quarter to two
And I'm done, I'm hanging up on you

I can't keep on waiting for you
I know that you're still hesitating
Don't cry for me 'cause I'll find my way
You'll wake up one day, but it'll be too late

(Chorus 2x)

Every little thing, every little thing
I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call, waiting for your call
I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you

Time goes by so slowly
(3x)

So slowly
(12x)
I don't know what to do

(chorus 2x)

Every little thing, every little thing
I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call, waiting for your call
I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you
