South American
Chasing Dreams in South American Rhythms
Lyrics
Got a letter from a long lost cousin of mine
Received a letter from a distant cousin who owns a piece of land in Argentina
Who owns a little piece of heaven in the argentine
Describing the cousin's ownership of a heavenly place in Argentina
It's a different planet, its a different place
Emphasizing the unique nature of the place as a different planet
He calls it out of this world without traveling to space
Referring to the cousin's place as extraordinary, "out of this world," without space travel
Its not just a lesson in geography
Stating that it's not merely a geography lesson
No equation to unravel algebraically
Rejecting the idea of solving it algebraically, suggesting a mysterious or emotional connection
It's written in the wind and on the tropical sea
Expressing that the essence is in the wind and tropical sea
From south of the equator it keeps callin' to me
Feeling a calling from the region south of the equator
South American well you know I would
Expressing a desire to be in South America
South American if I only could
Reiterating the desire to be in South America if possible
I wanna be, I wanna be going back
Expressing a strong wish to go back to South America
You only get to heaven if you chase your dreams
Highlighting the importance of chasing dreams to reach heaven
Let the paparazzi flash, let the tabloid scream
Ignoring media attention and gossip, focusing on personal goals
Ive been around too long to care what anyone says
Indicating resilience against criticism due to long experience
I'm hungry and I'm doing lunch with Cameron Diaz
Casually mentioning a lunch meeting with Cameron Diaz
South American shes got that tango look
Describing a woman from South America with a tango look
South American shell read you like a book
Suggesting that the woman can read people well
I wanna be, I wanna be going back
Expressing the desire to go back to South America
It rolls off my tongue like a magical phrase
Describing the phrase "South American" rolling off the tongue like magic
A simple translation this message conveys
Stating that the message is simple and easily understood
Gimme that, gimme that south American girl
Expressing a desire for a South American girl
I wanna be, I wanna be where its at
Reiterating the wish to be where it's happening, possibly in South America
South American I'm not on some trip
Clarifying that the desire is not a fleeting experience or trip
South American I just long for a ship
Affirming a deep longing, not just a passing phase
A sailing boat or anything that floats
Expressing a desire for any floating vessel to return to South America
Going back
Reiterating the strong desire to go back to South America
