Turn Around
Eternal Yearning: The Poetic Dance of Love and Seasons
Lyrics
Barefoot girl has got a pretty jewel
Barefoot girl has a beautiful jewel.
Telling everyone about the way it shines
She proudly shares the brilliance of her jewel with everyone.
Barefoot boy is grinning like a fool
Barefoot boy is happily smiling.
Doesn’t really want to get her off his mind
He doesn't really want to forget about the barefoot girl.
Turn around the summer’s almost over
A signal to realize that the summer is coming to an end.
Turn around the summer’s almost gone
Reiterates the passing of summer, emphasizing its imminent departure.
Barefoot girl is buying winter clothes
The barefoot girl is preparing for winter, acquiring winter clothes.
Packing everything she owns and rides away
She packs all her belongings and departs.
Barefoot boy don’t care to see her go
The barefoot boy is indifferent about her leaving.
Would give anything if she would only stay
He wishes she would stay and is willing to sacrifice anything for it.
Turn around the summer’s almost over
Reiteration that summer is ending, prompting reflection.
Turn around until the winter’s gone
Encourages waiting until winter is over.
Midnight wind is blowing awfully hard
A description of a strong midnight wind.
Racing all the trains down along the track
The wind competes with trains along the tracks, symbolizing urgency.
Barefoot boy is standing in the yard
The barefoot boy stands in the yard.
Afraid to go and see the barefoot girl come back
He is hesitant to witness the barefoot girl's return.
Turn around the days are not so lonely
Encourages turning around to avoid loneliness.
Turn around before the summer’s gone
Suggests turning around before the end of summer.
Turn around before the night is over
Reinforces the idea of turning around before the night ends.
Turn around, no need to be alone
Emphasizes that there's no need to be alone; a call for companionship.
