Night and Day
Yearning Melodies: Embracing Love in Night and Day
Lyrics
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
Describes a rhythmic sound akin to the beat of a tom-tom in the jungle.
When the jungle shadows fall
Refers to the time when shadows cast by trees in the jungle become prominent.
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
Compares the sound of a clock ticking to the rhythm of time passing.
As it stands against the wall
Portrays the image of a clock placed against a wall.
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
Compares the rhythmic sound of raindrops falling after a summer shower.
When the summer shower is through
Depicts the aftermath of a summer shower when rain has stopped falling.
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Suggests an internal voice repeatedly thinking about a specific person.
Night and day, you are the one
Expresses that the person addressed is consistently in the speaker's thoughts both day and night.
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Emphasizes the exclusivity of the person's importance regardless of the time or place.
Whether near to me, or far
Indicates that the proximity of the person is irrelevant to the speaker's feelings.
It's no matter darling where you are
States that the location of the addressed person holds no significance.
I think of you, night and day
Reiterates constant thoughts about the person addressed during both night and day.
Day and night, why is it so
Questions the reason behind the incessant yearning for the addressed person.
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
Highlights the persistent longing for the person regardless of the speaker's location.
In the roaring traffic's boom
Mentions thinking about the person even amidst noisy urban traffic.
In the silence of my lonely room
Contrasts the solitude of the speaker's room with thoughts of the addressed person.
I think of you, night and day,
Reiterates the continuous thoughts about the addressed person during night and day.
Night and day, night and day
Repeats the idea of constant thoughts about the person throughout night and day.
Under the hide of me
Describes an intense internal feeling or desire hidden within the speaker.
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
Expresses an intense, unfulfilled longing or desire within the speaker.
And it's torment won't be through
Implies that this internal struggle or desire will persist until fulfilled.
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Expresses the desire to spend a life dedicated to making love to the addressed person.
Day and night, night and day
Repeats the cycle of thoughts about the person both day and night.
