Tell Me When
Dj Bo Bo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When can I hold you, hold you, hold you in my arms?
Tell me when,
Tell me when.
When can I love you, love you,
The way I want to do?
Tell me when.
Tell me when.
Tell me when are you gonna
Show me that tomorrow is my day?
Tell me when are you gonna
Hold me since tomorrow's far away?
When can I hold you, hold you, hold you in my arms?
Tell me when.
Tell me when.

This is a story
About you and me.
Everything we did will
Stay in our memory.
So alone, so lost in the dark,
And you will ever be placed in my heart.
When can I hold you?
When can I love you?
Kiss you, I gotta live my love without you.
Now is time to be telling you the truth;
Girl my love is JUST FOR YOU!

Do it to me,
Only one more time.
Touch me, hold me.
Let your heart be mine.
Take me back in time.
Make me forget.
Turn the world over.
Never would it met.
You said the words
That I love to hear.
Here was star shining bright,
When you are near.




You all of my heart.
We will never be apart.

Comprei meu primeiro cd em 1998 do Dj Bobo. Como era uma dificuldade enorme encontrar algo dele no Brasil... Dois anos depois tinha 5 cds dele mas era extremamente raros aqui no Rio Grande do Sul. Quem lembra dos cds que vinham pela gravadora TOCO INTERNACIONAL?
