Two Sleepy People
A Cozy Tale of Love and Yawns: Two Sleepy Souls in Paris
Lyrics
Here we are out of cigarettes
They are out of cigarettes.
Holding hands and yawning
They are holding hands and yawning, indicating tiredness.
Look how late it gets
It's getting late.
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
They are two sleepy people as the dawn is breaking.
And too much in love to say goodnight
Despite being tired, they are too much in love to bid each other goodnight.
Here we are in the cozy chair
They are sitting in a cozy chair, picking on a wishbone, creating a comfortable atmosphere.
Picking on a wishbone from the Frigidaire
They are picking on a wishbone from the Frigidaire, a casual and domestic scene.
Two sleepy people with nothing to say
Both are too sleepy to engage in conversation.
And too much in love to break away
Despite having nothing to say, their love is strong, preventing them from breaking away.
Do you remember the nights we used to linger in the hall?
Recalling the nights they spent lingering in the hall.
Father did not like you at all
Father disapproved of the speaker.
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall?
Reflecting on the reason for marrying in the fall.
To rent this little nest and get a bit of rest
The purpose was to rent a nest and get some rest.
Well, here we are just above the Seine
They are above the Seine River, setting the scene.
Foggy little fella,drowsy little dame
Describing themselves as a foggy little fella and a drowsy little dame.
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
They are still two sleepy people at dawn.
And too much in love to say goodnight
Despite being tired, their love prevails, and they can't say goodnight.
Do you remember the nights we used to linger in the hall?
Reiterating the nights spent lingering in the hall.
Father did not like you at all
Father's disapproval is recalled.
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall?
Reflecting again on the reason for marrying in the fall.
To rent this little nest and get a bit of rest
Reiterating the purpose of marrying: to rent a nest and get rest.
Well, here we are just above the Seine
They are still above the Seine River.
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame
Describing themselves once more as a foggy little fella and a drowsy little dame.
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
They are still two sleepy people at dawn.
And too much in love to say goodnight
Despite the tiredness, their love prevents them from saying goodnight.
Bon soir, bon nuit
Ending with a simple "Good evening, good night" in French.
