Smooth
Dolapdere Big Gang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My mu equita my spanish harlem mona lisa
Your my reason for reason
The step in my groove
And if you say this life aint good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth
Chorus
And just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart make it real
Or else forget about it
I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it would be a crying shame
In every breath and every word I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio you hear my rhythm from your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round
The first verse of the song "Smooth" by Dolapdere Big Gang sets the mood for a hot summer day, as the singer declares that it's "like seven inches from the midday sun." The lyrics then proceed to talk about a love interest who has a way with words that can melt anyone's heart, but still manages to stay cool. The singer calls this person his "mu equita," which translates to "little doll," and his "Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa." The love interest is the reason behind the singer's reason and the step in his groove.
The bridge of the song talks about how the singer would give up everything if his love interest thinks that their life together isn't good enough. He promises to change his life to better suit their mood because of how "smooth" they are. The chorus compares the love interest to the ocean under the moon and expresses how the singer feels the same emotions from them as the ocean. The love that the singer feels for their love interest is "smooth," and they ask for their heart, but if the love interest can't give it, then they should forget about pursuing a relationship.
The second verse talks about how the singer would be devastated if their love interest were to leave them. They hear their name being called out in every breath and every word, and they feel the turning of the world so soft and slow when they're around them. The lyrics signify how the love interest has a powerful impact on the singer's world.

very interesting interpretation, i just think you shouldve dropped the "latin feel" entirely. like, the piano feels way out of place. just my 2 cents. lots of potential here
