Lemonella Citronella
Whispers of Love Across Oceans
Lyrics
She lives beyond this madness
Expressing that she exists outside the chaos or confusion.
Across the sea
Indicating that she is located across the sea.
And if the winds are blowin'
Suggesting that her arrival depends on the direction of the wind.
She sails to me
Implies that she comes sailing when the winds are favorable.
Lemonella
Repeating her name "Lemonella" and emphasizing it with musicality.
Le Le Lemonella
-Citronella
-Si Si Si
-Pitch perfect is her voice and
Describing her singing as perfectly tuned.
She sings alone
She sings alone, and the singer feels a connection when she reaches him emotionally ("in the zone").
As soon as she can reach me
-I'm in the zone
-Well her tongue is as sharp as nails
Portraying her with sharpness in speech and blue nails and eyes, suggesting uniqueness and possession.
And her nails are all blue
-Well her blue eyes
-They are spinning fast
-But they're mine at last
-Palm trees and ukuleles
Describing her simple desires, palm trees and ukuleles, and expressing hope for her to leave the island and be with the singer.
Is all she needs
-One day she'll leave this island
-And come live with me
-Well maybe she has forgotten me
Speculating on the possibility of her forgetting the singer, but a reminder that he's waiting for her every day.
Someone else will smile and she
-Might let go and reach for him
-But then something inside her will say
-Remember the boy that you saved
-He's waiting for you every day
-Every day
-Every day
