Ding Dong
Nylon Beat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ei leopardi pääse pilkuistaan
Tai käärme taivaaseen
Hei ootko valmis kaiken kohtaamaan
Minkä teen

On pikajuna helppo pysäyttää
Mun jarrut irrotin
Päin rakkautta täytyy rysäyttää
Kummankin

Seurakunta turhaan tuijottaa
Ding Dong, näin on
Mustaa morsianta ei ne saa
Ding Dong, tahdon

Kuin hai yön syviin vesiin kulkeutuu
Mä uin sua etsien
Vain muumio se holviin sulkeutuu
Minä en

Seurakunta turhaan tuijottaa
Ding Dong, näin on
Mustaa morsianta ei ne saa
Ding Dong, tahdon

Seurakunta turhaan tuijottaa
Ding Dong, näin on




Mustaa morsianta ei ne saa
Ding Dong, tahdon

Line by Line Meaning

Ei leopardi pääse pilkuistaan
A leopard cannot change its spots


Tai käärme taivaaseen
Or a snake cannot fly to heaven


Hei ootko valmis kaiken kohtaamaan
Hey, are you ready to face everything


Minkä teen
That I do


On pikajuna helppo pysäyttää
A bullet train is easy to stop


Mun jarrut irrotin
I removed my brakes


Päin rakkautta täytyy rysäyttää
We must crash into love


Kummankin
Both of us


Seurakunta turhaan tuijottaa
The congregation stares in vain


Ding Dong, näin on
Ding Dong, that's how it is


Mustaa morsianta ei ne saa
They can't have a black bride


Ding Dong, tahdon
Ding Dong, I want to


Kuin hai yön syviin vesiin kulkeutuu
Like a shark that swims into the deep waters of the night


Mä uin sua etsien
I swim searching for you


Vain muumio se holviin sulkeutuu
Only a mummy is locked in a vault


Minä en
But not me
