Honey
Yearning Whispers: Embracing Distance in Kett Câmara's 'Honey'
Lyrics
Hey you
Addressing someone with "Hey you."
Over there
Referring to a person located "Over there."
You know I don’t think it’s fair
Expressing a sense of unfairness or dissatisfaction.
You
Repeating the address to "You."
To be
Expressing a feeling of distance and separation from the person addressed.
So far away from me
-That far away from me
-And how should my mind be clear now
Pondering on the difficulty of maintaining a clear mind.
If all I think about
Obsessive thoughts about the possibility of meeting the person this year, expressing worry and doubt.
Is if I’ll see you this year
-That’s my worry that’s my doubt
-That’s my worry that’s my doubt
Reiterating the worry and doubt as significant concerns.
And if I’d get to
Imagining the scenario of finally reaching the person and addressing them affectionately as "honey."
If I’d get to you
-I’d say honey
-I’d say honey
-Finally
Expressing a sense of relief or accomplishment.
Yes if I’d get to
Continuing the imagination of reaching the person and addressing them affectionately as "honey."
If I’d get to you
-And I hope we figure it out
Expressing hope for resolving the situation or relationship.
Cause if it
Desire to take action, run to the person, and declare feelings loudly.
Was up to me
-I would run to you
-And shout out loud
-You’re the one I wish to be with
Emphasizing the person as the desired companion.
You’re the one I wish to be with
Reiteration of the person as the preferred partner.
And if I’d get to
Repeating the scenario of reaching the person and addressing them affectionately as "honey."
If I’d get to you
-I’d say honey
-I’d say honey
-Finally
Reiterating a sense of relief or accomplishment.
Yes if I’d get to
Continuing the imagination of reaching the person and addressing them affectionately as "honey."
If I’d get to you
-I’d say honey
-I’d say honey
-Finally
Concluding with a sense of finality or resolution by using "Finally."
