Issa(pronounced eeee-sah) (formerly known as Jane Siberry, born October 12, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario) is most famous for her early 1980s new wave hits such as "Mimi on the Beach", "I Muse Aloud" and "One More Colour". Internationally, she is best known for her 1993 album When I Was a Boy.Following the commercial failure of her 1995 album Maria, Siberry founded her own independent label, Sheeba Records. She has released all of her subsequent material on that label. Her public profile has been lower since she became an independent artist; however, she retains a devoted cult following. Early in 2006, she closed her Sheeba office, then sold and gave away nearly all of her possessions -- including her home and instruments.

Slow Tango Lyrics

Jane Siberry

On the sixth day
When the word came
We began our journey
We would not break the promise
Lonely
Hasten to the shoreline
Just in time to see them sail away

All the times when we lay sleepless
And the weather made no sense
Challenge your hands to capture
These landscapes, holy days
Landscapes of dunes and red skies

There is only one horizon
Rolling thunder
This wilderness of longing
Tangled up forever
Hold me for a while my love
I can hardly hear you
Heal me, feel my love

So I find your breast against mine
Is this the slow tango?
I have no regrets my love

I let you press
I forget the rest
But I feel it like the rushing dove
That beats against the hands of time
With pounding heart... again

Is this the slow tango?
I have no regrets my love
