On A Little Street In Singapore
Moonlit Love on Singapore Streets
Lyrics
On a little street in Singapore
Setting the scene on a small street in Singapore.
With me, beside a lotus covered door
The narrator is with someone near a door adorned with lotus flowers.
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
Describing the romantic ambiance with moonlight on the person's face.
How pale the hands that held me in embrace
Noting the paleness of the hands that embraced the narrator.
My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar (Shalimar, Shalimar)
Expressing the narrator's journey, with sails carrying the perfume of Shalimar.
With temple bells that guide me to her shore
Reference to temple bells guiding the narrator to the person's shore.
And then I hold you in my arms
The narrator holds the person in their arms.
And love the way I loved before
Expressing a familiar and beloved feeling of love.
On a little street in Singapore (in Singapore)
Reiterating the setting, emphasizing the location in Singapore.
And then I hold you in my arms
Repeating the embrace and love from earlier in the song.
And love the way I loved before
Continuation of expressing the enduring nature of love.
On a little street in Singapore (in Singapore)
Reiteration of the setting, emphasizing the street in Singapore.
On a little street in Singapore
Restating the scene on the small street in Singapore.
With me, beside a lotus covered door
Reaffirming the presence of the person near the lotus covered door.
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
Describing the romantic atmosphere with moonlight on the person's face.
How pale the hands that held me in embrace
Repeating the observation of the paleness of the hands that embraced the narrator.
On a little street in Singapore
Restating the location on the small street in Singapore.
Baby, beside a lotus covered door
Endearment, emphasizing the person's presence near the lotus covered door.
