Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ride on the night
Sun becomes day
Day shall provide
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
God of my want, want, want
Lord of my need, need, need
Leading me on, on, on
On to the woman, she dance for the sun
God of my day, day, day
Lord of my night, night, night
Seek for the way, way, way
Taking me home
She callin'
Bring home my name
On the wings of a flea
Wind in the plains
Dance once for me
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
The lyrics to Diamond Neil's song Soolaimon can be interpreted in various ways, but the song seems to be a celebration of life and the beauty of nature. The singer urges someone to come and enjoy the beauty of the night as it turns into day. "Sun becomes day, day shall provide" suggests that the day brings its own blessings and provides for us. The repeated phrase, "Soo, soolaimon, Soolai, soolai, soolaimon" sounds like an African chant or a Native American song, adding to the feeling of celebration and joy.
The singer also speaks of God and the Lord, suggesting a spiritual connection to the world around us. The lines, "God of my want, want, want, Lord of my need, need, need" suggest that we have both desires and needs in life and that both are important. "Leading me on, on, on, On to the woman, she dance for the sun" suggests that the singer is being led on a journey, perhaps towards enlightenment or a deeper understanding of life.
The final lines, "She callin', Bring home my name, On the wings of a flea, Wind in the plains, Dance once for me" could be interpreted in various ways. It could be a call to a lover, a celebration of the beauty of nature, or a reference to a spiritual experience. Overall, the song suggests that life is something to be celebrated and that there is beauty and joy all around us.
