Little Angel
Nastasia and Nina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It feels like summer
Your feet in the water
You care about nothing
All the girls got a secret
And they won't tell
But your mother always sees you crying
When you're by yourself
You don't stay play after school
You go straight down to the water
And bury your bones in the sand
Everyone's looking at you
Just a few more days lying
Come January
So play
Play
Hey, little angel
You're not alone
Your mother's in the yard watching
Your little one
The lyrics to "Little Angel" by Nastasia and Nina speak to the innocence and vulnerability of a young child, represented by a little angel. The song creates a vivid image of a carefree summer day, with the angel enjoying the water and seemingly having no worries. However, there is an underlying sense of secrecy and sadness. The girls around the angel have their own secrets, refusing to share them, but the angel's mother can see the tears that the angel sheds when alone.
The lyrics highlight the angel's detachment from typical school activities, instead opting to spend time by the water, burying their bones in the sand. This behavior might show the angel's desire for freedom and escape from the pressures of growing up too fast. The mention of everyone looking at the angel suggests that they possess a certain enchanting quality that draws attention. The lyrics conclude with a reassurance that the angel is not alone, as the mother is watching over them from the yard, ensuring their safety.

Hey, little angel
Greeting to the innocent and pure child
It feels like summer
A sense of warmth and joy surrounds you
Your feet in the water
Enjoying the immersive experience of being in the water
You care about nothing
You possess a carefree and blissful mentality
All the girls got a secret
The other girls have undisclosed truths
And they won't tell
They choose to keep those secrets hidden
But your mother always sees you crying
Despite hiding, your mother is aware of your tears
When you're by yourself
In lonely moments, your sorrow becomes evident
You don't stay play after school
You prefer not to engage in school activities
You go straight down to the water
Instead, you head directly to the water
And bury your bones in the sand
You immerse yourself fully in the beach experience
Everyone's looking at you
All eyes are focused on you
Just a few more days lying
Only a short period of time spent lounging
Come January
When January arrives
So play
Enjoy and have fun
Play
Engage in playful activities
Hey, little angel
Reiteration of the greeting
You're not alone
You have company and support
Your mother's in the yard watching
Your mother is attentively observing you
Your little one
Referring to yourself as the young and innocent child
