Tora! Tora! Tora!
Numero Uno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was walking in the sun
And the day had just began
I saw her walk around the beach
Her perfect body within reach
And when I heard what she had to say
She took my hand and we walked away

Tora, Tora, Tora
I will stay with you tonight
All night
Tora, Tora, Tora
You will stay with me tonight
All night
Tora, Tora, Tora

We stayed together for a night
She disappeared out of sight
And as I walked around the sand
A different lady took my hand
And when I heard what she had to tell
My heart began to melt

Tora, Tora, Tora
I will stay with you tonight
All night
Tora, Tora, Tora
You will stay with me tonight




All night
Tora, Tora, Tora

Overall Meaning

At first glance, the lyrics of Numero Uno's song Tora Tora Tora may seem to be about a series of romantic encounters. However, upon closer inspection, there could be a deeper message about the fleeting nature of love and the impermanence of relationships. The opening lines paint a picture of a sunny day at the beach and the singer seeing a beautiful woman. The use of the phrase "perfect body within reach" may suggest a shallow physical attraction, and the following lines about the woman taking the singer's hand and walking away with him could indicate a casual hookup or fling.


The chorus, which repeats the words "Tora Tora Tora," seems to serve as a kind of refrain or mantra, perhaps echoing the singer's desire for excitement or adventure. However, the line "I will stay with you tonight, all night / You will stay with me tonight, all night" could also be interpreted as a plea for connection in a world where intimacy is fleeting.


The second verse introduces another romantic encounter with a different woman, suggesting that the singer is a bit of a player or not looking for anything long-term. The final line, "My heart began to melt," could indicate that this encounter was different or more meaningful than the first.


Overall, the lyrics of Tora Tora Tora seem to touch on themes of desire, fleetingness, and the search for connection in a world that can be isolating and transitory.

I was walking in the sun
Whilst I was outside, the sun was shining.


And the day had just began
It was early in the morning, and the day had just started.


I saw her walk around the beach
I perceived a woman wandering on the beach.


Her perfect body within reach
I noticed her stunning figures, as if I could touch it.


And when I heard what she had to say
I listened to her words with eagerness.


She took my hand and we walked away
She held my hand, and we departed from where we were standing.


Tora, Tora, Tora
This is a repeated phrase in the song, most likely for emphasis or effect.


I will stay with you tonight
I will remain in your company throughout the night.


All night
For the entirety of the evening and into the morning.


You will stay with me tonight
You will stay near me during the night.


We stayed together for a night
We remained together in each other's company for an evening.


She disappeared out of sight
She vanished from my view.


And as I walked around the sand
While I was wandering on the beach.


A different lady took my hand
Another woman approached me and held my hand.


And when I heard what she had to tell
After I listened to what she had to say.


My heart began to melt
I experienced a rush of emotion and began to feel overwhelmed.

I was born in 1978, and I was 6 years old when this song appeared, but still in the 90s we danced to it at discos. There are few songs that you remember after 30-40 years.
