LALALA
Anni B Sweet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh the hands of time won't stop for me
And I've asked a thousand hundred times
And my mouth won't do what my mind is ordering.

Well you've said that I'm, that I'm still quite young
Then why am I feeling old
And the days are passing by with a hurry inside
Laaaaa dirara ra riraaaaaaaa
Laaaaa dirara rariraaaa

And the guy above who I don't believe
And they're telling me that he can't hear me
Well I can't see any change in my routine

And the memories taking place in me
Feeling like a guitar string
And it sounds so, so... so out of tune

Laaaaa dirara ra riraaaaaaaa
Laaaaa dirara rariraaaa-aaaa

The hands of time won't rough for me
And I've asked a thousand hundred times
And my mind won't do what my mouth is ordering

Well you've said that I'm, that I'm no too old
Then why am I feeling young
And the days won't ever ever ever pass





Laaaaa dirara ra riraaaaaaaa
Laaaaa dirara rariraaaa-aaaa...

Overall Meaning

The song "Lalala" by Anni B Sweet is an introspective piece that delves into the frustration of feeling stuck in life despite desperately wanting to move forward. The opening lines "Oh the hands of time won't stop for me / And I've asked a thousand hundred times / And my mouth won't do what my mind is ordering" speak to the feeling of helplessness that comes with trying to control one's own life. The singer feels like time is passing them by and they can't seem to catch up, and the frustration is further compounded by the fact that they can't seem to express their feelings or desires properly.


The second verse continues the theme of feeling stuck, highlighting the disconnect between the singer's age and how they feel. They feel old and tired despite being told they are still young. The line "And the days are passing by with a hurry inside" adds to the sense of urgency and desperation that the singer is feeling.


The chorus, with its repetitive "Laaaaa dirara ra riraaaaaaaa / Laaaaa dirara rariraaaa" serves to underscore the feeling of being trapped in a cycle, unable to break free. The last verse echoes the sentiments of the first, with the singer reiterating that they feel like they are not in control of their own life.


Overall, "Lalala" is a poignant and relatable song that captures the frustration of feeling like life is passing you by, despite desperately wanting to move forward.

Yo no sé como esta chica no ha triunfado más!! si esta canción es preciosa!

@joserra67

Si que es sorprendente que no haya tenido más éxito y repercusión, porque tiene, sin duda, una de las mejores voces del panorama musical español...
