Mamma Mia
DJ Ensamble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city
In the sun I feel like sleeping
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breath and time to live
Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city
It's elusive
Call it glitter
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone
I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow
When it's dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream
It's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach
Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city
The lyrics of DJ Ensamble's song "Mamma Mia" describe the excitement and energy of a summer night in the city. The first stanza sets the scene of a city at night, with the singer waiting for the sun to rise after dancing in the dark. They sing about the joys of being in a city during the summer, where they can stroll through the moonlit streets and have intimate moments in public places.
The second verse describes the warmth of the sun and the singer's impatience for the night to begin again. They describe the strange attraction of the city at night, with a "giant dynamo" drawing them towards it. They revel in the feeling of being surrounded by like-minded people who share their excitement and energy.
The final verse reflects on the fleeting nature of the experience. The night may be exciting and exhilarating, but it's also a dream that's out of reach. As the first birds start to sing and the sun begins to rise, the energy of the night fades away, leaving behind only scattered driftwood on the beach.
Overall, the song captures the excitement and energy of a summer night in the city, with its unique blend of excitement and transience.
