Mermaid of Salinas
Dive into Ecstasy with the Enchanting Tale of the Salinas Mermaid
Lyrics
Give me your shimmy shimmy
Expressing a desire for a lively dance or movement
Hooray, hooray!
Celebrating or expressing joy
Tap tap, tap, tap
Emphasizing a rhythmic or percussive sound
Ole!
A Spanish exclamation often used to express excitement
I'm in the hotbox
Referring to being in a confined, intense, or heated situation
Sweet mermaid of Salinas
Addressing an imaginary or symbolic mermaid from Salinas
We have just the sea between us
Highlighting the geographical separation between the speaker and the mermaid
You've seen inside my mind
Implying a deep connection, as the mermaid has seen the speaker's inner thoughts
Your magic so sublime.
Commending the enchanting and splendid qualities of the mermaid's magic
Sweet mermaid
Reiterating the affectionate address to the mermaid
Sweet mermaid
-Sweet mermaid
-I'm in the hotbox
Repetition of being in an intense or heated situation
I'm in the hotbox
-In the hotbox, in the hotbox
-Sweet mermaid of Salinas
Reaffirming the mermaid's connection, suggesting she brings life to the world
The world comes alive
Describing the vivacity or liveliness of the world in the presence of the mermaid
As I dive into your eyes
Metaphorically diving into the mermaid's eyes, emphasizing intimacy
Just you and me, just you and me
Emphasizing exclusivity and intimacy between the speaker and the mermaid
Just you and me
-I'm in the hotbox
Repetition of being in an intense or heated situation
I'm in the hotbox
-I'm in the hotbox
