Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Once upon a time in South Africa

I turned to you under the bleeding moon

The ships were sailing in beneath the table top

It was 3 o' clock, the night was still

...

If we stayed at Joanna's for a night or two

Though she never really saw us

We were too consumed

We never even got to see the place

We were way too busy chasing down the place

I don't even wanna go out tonight

No, I've got you by my side

I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl

No, I've got you by my side

By my side

...

I got to know you better on the trampoline

Although I am aware I won't know everything

And it's a big jump, big jump

Pull yourself together, boy, you haven't got forever, boy

And if it feels like heaven, well

I don't even wanna go out tonight

No, I've got you by my side

I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl

No, I've got you by my side

I don't even wanna go out tonight

No, I've got you by my side

I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl

No, I've got you by my side

And it's a big jump, big jump

Pull yourself together, boy

Big jump, big jump

You haven't got forever, boy

Big jump, big jump

And if it feels like heaven, well

Now it feels like heaven and

When it feels like heaven, I

I don't even wanna go out tonight

No, I've got you by my side

I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl

No, I've got you by my side

I don't even wanna go out tonight

No, I've got you by my side

I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl

No, I've got you by my side

...

By my side

...
