I’m walkin’ down the street
I’m on that midnight beat
I’m on a lonely avenue
Baby, won’t you walk with me
Baby, won’t you talk with me
Oh that’s all I want you to do, now
Walk with me
Talk to me
Call your name out

Na Na, Na Na, Na Na
Na Na, Na Na, Na Na
Na Na, Na Na, Na Na, Natalia
Here on a summer night
I wanna kiss and hold you tight
Just the way we used to do
Walkin’ down the same old street
People that we used to meet
Such a long, long time ago, now
Walk with me
Talk to me
And I call out your name

On a magic night like this
I hunger for your kiss
On a magic night like this

Walk with me
Talk with me
Walk with me
Talk with me
Natalia, Natalia, Natalia
Natalia, Natalia, Natalia

Some of the lyrics to Natalia have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Van Morrison and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Natalia if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Natalia" means the words set to the music of Natalia, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Van Morrison. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Natalia and the lyrics to Natalia are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Van Morrison who came here looking just for the lyrics to Natalia, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
