Baga Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
It is often that I wonder
Why women love men
And I look back and I wonder
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
Gonna build me another castle
On a mountain so high
So then I can see my true love
As she passes by.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
--- Instrumental ---
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
I know you of old
You have robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and of gold.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July
The lyrics of Baga Sound's song "2012" may seem disconnected but can be interpreted as a reflection of personal thoughts on love, nature, and priorities. The first stanza is about the beauty of nature, particularly the cuckoo bird, but it is also about the need for patience and withholding gratification until the right time. The second stanza is a musing on the complexity of love and the differences between men and women. The third stanza is about personal aspirations and ambitions, expressed through the desire to build a castle on a mountaintop to get a better view of the world and the singer's true love. The final stanza is a reference to the Jack of Diamonds, a traditional folk song symbolizing deceit and thievery.
The song's themes of nature, love, and ambition are not uncommon in folk music, but Baga Sound's interpretation of them provides a unique perspective. The contrast between the beauty of the cuckoo bird and the delayed gratification of giving it water on a specific date can be seen as a metaphor for the rewards of patience and discipline. The ambiguity in the second stanza can be interpreted as the singer's realization that love is complex and nuanced, and that understanding it fully is a lifelong pursuit. The third stanza, about building a castle on a mountaintop, can represent the idea of reaching for one's dreams and hitting a new level of success. The final stanza, about the Jack of Diamonds, can be interpreted as a warning to not let greed and desire for material gain overcome personal moral values.
