Java Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
j'aimerais être le Christ sur la croix
infidèle je mérite d'être pendu
à ton collier d'argent
j'attendrai religieusement
que la souffrance afflige
à mon corps en age
au dessus du corsage
et quand craqueront mes phalanges
alors je serai perdu
et en saut de l'ange
je plongerai dans l'inconnu
OOh Nadya
j'aimerais être la main de Fatima
infidèle je mérite d'être pendu
à ton collier d'argent
là j'attendrai religieusement
que tu te recouvres d'un voile
pour faire naître le mirage
et dans l'obscurité
je parcourerais les dunes en ermitage
sentant sous mes phalanges
le duvet qui se hérisse
j'irai jusqu'au sommet
embrasser l'oasis
OOh Rebecca
j'aimerais être l'étoile de David
infidèle je mérite d'être pendu
à ton collier d'argent
là j'attendrai religieusement
que la nuit se fige
dégraffant ton corsage
comme Dieu le fit à Moïse
tu m'ouvriras le passage
et je serai l'éclairage
qui guideras nos ombres
pour ce lointain voyage
vers l'origine...

In the song "Samba do Jerusalem," Java expresses his desire and devotion to three different women: Maria, Nadya, and Rebecca. He begins by wishing to be the Christ on the cross because he feels he deserves to suffer for being unfaithful to the women. He hopes to feel physical pain so intense that he loses consciousness, and in dying, he will jump into the unknown. In the second verse, he wants to be the hand of Fatima, a symbol of protection in Islamic culture, and wait for her to cover herself in a veil to create an illusion. He would then wander through the dunes, feeling the sand under his fingers until he came to an oasis to kiss it. In the third verse, he speaks to Rebecca and wishes to be the Star of David, a symbol of the Jewish people, and wait for her to open up to him like God opened up the Red Sea to guide him. He would then provide light to guide their shadows on a journey towards the origin of the world.
Java's lyrics capture the intertwined nature of religious symbols and love in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures. In each verse, he attributes a religious symbol to a woman and wishes to be part of that symbol to be with her. He uses religious symbols from Christianity, Islam, and Judaism to express his longing and devotion to these women. However, throughout the song, he acknowledges his infidelity, which he believes warrants punishment. He uses religious symbols to express his desire for reconciliation and salvation. Overall, the song seems to be a reflection of the complicated nature of love and faith and their intertwined nature.
