🇰🇿 "Stranger in a Stranger's Land" Dimash Kudaibergen (of Kazakhstan) is a phenomenon. His range, control, stage presence... amazing. Been following him for years now, since his opening a competition in China with a song in French. He dared to sing in French, Italian, English and Mandarin and placed 2nd. This performance from 2021 is sung in English! Very good English, I may add (one of Dimash's many languages; doubt he's ever found one he didn't like). It shows off his talents. But the lyrics... speak to me. I'm in Thailand. It's a strange land to me. The language, the culture, sharing a place with someone... all new. New chance to know who I am ... yeah. If I have the strength to begin again ... a real concern. Somewhere in my heart in ancient times I wandered Through these valleys I have climbed among these hills Faces from a past, I'm haunted by their memories Lives and loves I've lost I feel them in me still ... I sat in UD Town yesterday surrounded by smells, the heat, the calm ... as if I had been here many times. It was uncanny. Embraced in a way I've felt before but without the memory of when or where. Lyrics: New ground far as I can see New ground underneath my feet Stranger in a stranger's land New chance to know who I am If I have the strength to begin again Somewhere in my heart in ancient times I wandered Through these valleys I have climbed among these hills Faces from a past, I'm haunted by their memories Lives and loves I've lost I feel them in me still New ground far as I can see New ground underneath my feet Stranger in a stranger's land New chance to know who I am If I have the strength to begin again New ground far as I can see New ground underneath my feet Stranger in a stranger's land New chance to know who I am If I have the strength to begin- New ground far as I can see New ground underneath my feet Stranger in a stranger's land New chance to know who I am If I have the strength to begin again Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Igor Krutoy / Sharon Mary Vaughn |
