Sway
Lenka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Lenka's "Sway" is a romantic and whimsical song about the power of dancing and the connection it can create between two people. The song begins with the upbeat rhythm of the marimba, which sets the tone for a playful and fun dance. The lyrics encourage the listener to dance with the singer, to sway together like the lazy ocean hugs the shore. The singer then asks to be held close and swayed more as they bend and sway like flowers in the breeze.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the real magic is when these two people dance together. The singer insists that even though there may be other dancers on the floor, their eyes will only see each other, and only they have that "magic technique" that creates the special connection they share. The violins in the background create a sense of enchantment, and the singer is thrilled by the way the other person can make them feel. The song closes with a final request to be "swayed smooth, sway me now," the music fading out as if they have found their perfect rhythm together.
Overall, "Sway" is a beautiful and uplifting song about the power of dancing and the intimacy it can create. The lyrics are simple and romantic, capturing the feeling of being swept away by the music and the person you're dancing with. It's a perfect song for a slow dance with a loved one, or just for swaying around the room on your own.

When marimba rhythms start to play
As the music begins with the marimba rhythms, I am ready to dance.
Dance with me, make me sway
Dance with me and let me feel the rhythm of the music all around me
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me closely and let me feel the gentle ebb and flow of your movements
Hold me close, sway me more
Stay close to me and let's keep dancing, moving to the music as one
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Just as a flower bends and sways in the wind, let's move naturally and fluidly together
Bend with me, sway with ease
Let's move together with ease and grace, as if we've been dancing together our whole lives
When we dance you have a way with me
Your movements when we dance are so captivating and enchanting, they draw me in completely
Stay with me, sway with me
Stay here with me, dancing and swaying together, lost in the moment
Other dancers may be on the floor
There may be other dancers around, but my focus is solely on you
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Despite the other dancers, I am completely fixated on you and your movements
Only you have that magic technique

When we sway I go weak
As we dance and move together, I become completely weak in the knees, unable to resist your charm
I can hear the sounds of violins
The music is so beautiful and moving that I can actually hear the violins playing in my mind
Long before it begins
The music is so engrained in my soul that I can hear it even before it actually starts playing
Make me thrill as only you know how
Your movements and your energy when we dance gives me chills and thrills like no one else could
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Keep moving with me, swaying and dancing, smoothly and effortlessly, making this moment last forever

Нашла вот такой прекрасный перевод этой песни:
Когда заиграет маримба,
Пригласи меня на танец, чтобы мы покачивались в такт музыке.
Обними меня крепко,
Как ленивый океан обнимает берег. Потанцуй со мной...
Как цветок, обдуваемый ветерком,
Прогнись со мной, легко покачиваясь.
Ты знаешь, как вести меня в танце,
Останься со мной, танцуй со мной.
На танцполе могут быть и другие танцоры,
Но, дорогой, я вижу только тебя.
Только ты умеешь так вести женщину в танце -
Когда мы покачиваемся, меня охватывает дрожь.
Я слышу звуки скрипок
Задолго до того, как начинает звучать музыка.
Заставь меня трепетать одному тебе известным способом,
Будь со мной нежен, потанцуй со мной.
