- She Walks This Earth
from
A Love Affair: The Music of Ivan Lins
She's a soulful flower in the garden
She's bobbing in the sunlight
And flirting with her eyes
The way she walks by
I see a wave of colour
Moving like an angel
Trailing butterflies
Give me water
Give me inspiration
I want to speak now, but I can't find a word
So unforgiving is my infatuation
Now that I know she walks upon the Earth
She walks this Earth
I am restless and burning with desire
And every other heartbeat I beat just for her
I see her smiling
Full is my emotion
This is no illusion
But how can I be heard?
Give me water
Give me inspiration
I want to speak now, but I can't find the words
So unforgiving is my infatuation
Now that I know she walks upon the Earth
She walks this Earth
Give me water
Give me inspiration
I need to hold her like no one else before
So unforgiving is my infatuation
Now that I know she walks upon the Earth
She walks this Earth
Lyrics: www.sting.com
Absolutely love this song!! Sting is so so smooth!!!!!!!!
The English lyrics are by veteran pop singer Brenda Russell, and I think I read a story once about how she dashed off these lyrics just in time for Sting to learn and record them. Pretty good. The English lyrics are much more romantic and sensual than Lins's Portuguese lyrics, which seem more impressionistic and poetic and are about nature, I think.
Agreed. I speak Portuguese and you are correct in your assessment... Muito bom!!!!
Perfeita, isso que é música, não essas bostas de hoje em dia!
This is pure hypnosis allready......pure hypnosis.Sting is amazing....
Used to sing this to my beautiful baby daughter...cant wait to see you again baby
mine's deaed... ... ... but i can relate....much love
@@joebrownell3738 So is mine. Can relate. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I definitely prefer this version, with all my respects to Ivan Lins, who is one of the best songwriter of our time.
i love this song!
Ivan lins é muito fera!
Me too!
Sting won a Grammy for this song. Very well deserved.
It’s only proper and deserved
Impresionante este "She Walks This Earth" en la voz de Sting (@OfficialSting) como homenaje a Ivan Lins (@ivanlinsoficial), y que abría en el 2000 el álbum "A Love Affair: The Music Of Ivan Lins" bajo la producción de Jason Miles (@JasonMiles). El tema le daba a Sting el Premio Grammy (@RecordingAcad) a la 'Mejor Interpretación Vocal Pop Masculina' y era la versión en inglés de "Soberana Rosa" que no había sido grabada aún. #GrammyWinner #Bossa #SmoothVocal.
Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of the feelings I first feel when I fall in love....breathless and overwhelmed with emotions...like a thirsty man that needs to drink in the sweet and fraegrent liquid that saturates and satifies!
yeah, my friend... it doesnt matter if you're american, english or brazilian like me... we, men, always fall in love.. and we also need a drink and a good song. this one is cool... sting from the police, a good rock band and ivan lins, a brazilian music singer and composer. this is cool. now, we just need some HEAVY METAL
Its 15th Dec 2023 today and our 44th Anniversary - And I dedicated this gorgeous rendition to my "Queen Bee" of all these years [Despite Breast Cancer and more] A trooper if ever there was! All that is good to you!
I found this (A Love Affair: The Music of Ivan Lins) compilation CD of Lins' music at the public library; put it on in the car, and ordered my own copy as soon as I got home. On radio I'd heard the song Sting does & knew the sax had to be Michael Brecker, but the whole project is just gleaming with brilliance. This youtube has the sequence (playlist order) mixed up, but you'll want your own anyway so just go ahead, treat yourself & order one too! Grover, Chaka, Freddy Cole, Vanessa W - just ALL the performances are exquisite.
She Walks This Earth (Soberana Rosa)
She's a soulful flower in the garden
She's bobbing in the sunlight
And flirting with her eyes
The way she walks by
I see a wave of colour
Moving like an angel
Trailing butterflies
Give me water
Give me inspiration
I want to speak now, but I can't find a word
So unforgiving is my infatuation
Now that I know she walks upon the Earth
She walks this Earth
I am restless and burning with desire
And every other heartbeat I beat just for her
I see her smiling
Full is my emotion
This is no illusion
But how can I be heard?
Give me water
Give me inspiration
I want to speak now, but I can't find the words
So unforgiving is my infatuation
Now that I know she walks upon the Earth
She walks this Earth
(with by example the great musians Vinnie Colaiuta and Marcus Miller)
...everything he does is smoooth , in my opinion... ... .... .... .....he holds back nothing and gives everything...right up front!
This is the best recording by Sting, about three laps ahead of any of the rest.
This is a smooth jazz favorite of mine!!!
He’s absolutely incredible!!! I love his music 🎶
What a beautiful song I have always loved this song by the one & only Mr.Sting.
My dear Sting ! You are Amazing ! Kiss from Portugal 😘😊😘

Can't get enough of this!
I remember an ex and I listening to this on a warm spring night, and dancing together as the moon shone in the windows. We parted amicably and I have many happy memories of our time together, and that evening spent dancing to this tune stands out. Many warm, happy feelings associated with this song, and hopes of other memories waiting to be made.
If you've never listened to the music of Ivan Lins, do so now! Don't walk...RUN!
la había escuchado anteriormente. No sabía que Sting la había interpretado. Una gran canción cantada por un gran cantante.
I met Sting at a club where I danced and used to imagine he sang this song about me. I say "met" but I didn't realize who he was at the time; he approached me in the dim and din and had thought he said his name was "Steven." I say, "You know, when you smile like that, you look a lot like Sting..." He says: "Oh really? Is that a good thing?" I start professing my undying love, deifying Sting - TO STING!! -completely unaware until later. Good thing, too. If I'd known, I'dve been paralyzed.
Lucky girl, I loved your story, good for you !!
If you have ever been fortunate to have "A love of your life", then this song would be for her.
Big thanks to Brenda Russell for writing amazing lyrics to Ivan Lins' music. Brenda,you are a genius !!
A good story on how this happened...not as easy as it sounds
She was pretty popular in Brazil at one point…”Piano in the Dark” got a lot of airplay
Ivan, Michael, and Sting. Yes!
I read was grateful twice for this comment, once for for the info and once more when i realized it was Ed Calle himself :)
This song takes me away, Sting is awesome
This is a true masterpiece - awesome!
Fantastic song ! Sting sings it much better than the author Ivan Lins, although Ivan perfect too !
All versions I've heard are beautiful.
obra perfecta!
An absolutely beautiful love story!!
*Sorry, and this is purely being biased. I like the Sting version because they play it where I used to work at the RAINFOREST CAFE. Finally, found it cause I could never make out the lyrics cause it was so damn loud at the place.
Love this song! Love Sting!!
Ivan Lins carries the torch once held by Tom Jobim ... and Sting's cover is a good match. Velas Icadas is my favorite by Lins, but I don't think Sting quite has the range for that melody line.
Listen to the version by the composer - Ivan Lins. It's great.
Michael Brecker plays this tasteful and ear tickling tenor saxophone solo. RIP Michael
u. got that sting. ZIP. NORTH PHILADELPHIA. 🍓. MANISON. ✌
Being a Sting and The Police fan, if I had not been in Phoenix listening to smooth jazz 95.5 kyot, I may have never heard this one.
What could I say? I think we have to kind of over thinking the method of Kodály....
Cheers, Mia
I produced this song and the album as well. Ivan has been a long time friend and collaborator..I tell the story of how this came together in my upcoming book.lMusical Biography..Grammy winner as well...
You did a great job!!!!
This song is right up Sting's alley. Suits his voice very well.
A pity the instrumental part is a bit too well polished and boring.
An awesome song. Really well put together!
amazing ....much much better than Adele....honestly.
Hard to meet a so “spatial” guy as Sting here on earth. 😊
MARCUS MILLER AND STING WOW
I heard this song a few years ago when I called somewhere,and they put me on hold,and this song was played.I recognized the voice,and knew it was Sting.Then I discovered it was him.great song through and through.
