My Cherrie Amour
Ehukai Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

La la la la la la, La la la la la la

My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour, distant as the milky way
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never noticed me
My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la

Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la

The final line of the chorus "You're the only girl my heart beats for, how I wish that you were mine" encapsulates the overall sentiment of the song - the singer's intense desire to be with this person despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

The second verse talks about the various places where the singer has been near their love interest but never noticed. The line "That behind that little smile I wore" suggests that the singer may have tried to catch their attention before, but to no avail. The repetition of "La la la la la la" throughout the song adds to the dreamy and wistful tone of the lyrics.

Overall, "My Cherrie Amour" is a poignant expression of unrequited love and the hope that one day the singer's feelings will be reciprocated.
