The Game
Oscar and the Wolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A moon bow over bedlam
All your tranquil years oppugned
As a crown of stars circles you
Like a Fleischer Brothers cartoon
Summer is dead in the water
And the danger that keeps you alive
Is the danger that wants to kill you
No, no two ways out of here
Happy birthday
To the never get out of this now
Or the here you've been
No two ways
When the nowhere game begins
Nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere
Dying to be living proof
Of something survived in your youth
But the lights come on for saturday
And don't go out until yours do
No, no two ways out of here
Happy birthday
To the never get out of this now
Or the here you've been
No two ways
When the nowhere game begins
Nowhere
The never get out of this now
Happy birthday
Nowhere, nowhere
I know where
Nowhere
I know where
Nowhere
I know where
Nowhere
I know where
Nowhere
I know where
Nowhere
I know where
Nowhere
The lyrics of Oscar and the Wolf's song The Game capture the feeling of being in love. The chorus, "Sondela baby, Sondela ngikubone, Sondela baby, Plus my Potoza i'game be on a hundred" repeated throughout the song, means "Come closer baby, let me see you, come closer baby, plus my game is on a hundred." This verse is about the singer's desire to be close to his lover and the confidence he feels when he is with her.
The first verse, "Sengaze kushon'ilanga, Senzana nento eyodwa akubusisekanga, Awu ngibhorekile mina, Awu libalele ngaphandle" means "I have never seen such a thing before, We don't have anything that can crush us, Oh, I am in love with you, Oh, let's get out of here." This verse is about the feeling of being in love for the first time and feeling like nothing can break that love. The singer wants to leave everything and just be with the one he loves.
The rest of the song is about how the singer would do anything for his love and how nobody can love him like she does. Overall, the song is about the happiness and confidence that come with being in love.

Sengaze kushon'ilanga
I have never seen such a beautiful day
Senzana nento eyodwa akubusisekanga
There is nothing else that can bless me like this
Awu ngibhorekile mina
I'm in a hurry
Awu libalele ngaphandle
Look outside
Se'ngabam' nandi kabuhlungu
We're not happy with sadness
Ek'se asambe solwandle
Let's go to the ocean
Asenzizinto zabelungu
We do things differently
Plus my Potoza i'game be on a hundred
My 'Potoza i'game' is at 100% efficiency
Sondela baby
Come closer baby
Sondela ngikubone
Come closer, let me see you
Awu nansimihlola yami
My heart beats fast
Sekozekushon'ilanga
Every time I see the sunset
Abakuvumeli uhambe nami
Those who agree can come with me
Abanomona hhayi ungabanaki baby
Those who aren't sure, it's better for them not to come
Ebusuku nemini...aaaii kushisa kubanda hhayi
Day and night...it burns like fire
I will be fighting for you my baby
I'll always be there for you
Nobody can love me no, no, no
No one can love me like you do
Let's keep it one hundred
Let's be real
You're tired, your boyfriend be bugging
You're tired, your boyfriend is annoying you
And all he wanna do is take you clubbing
All he wants to do is take you to a club
How do you make that a husband?
How can someone like that become your future husband?
The life that we living is different
Our life is different
We do not care about image
We don't care about appearances
As long as we know that we living
As long as we're alive
All that you need is some loving
All you need is love
Awu phuma langa sikothe kuwe ngithanda konke
Come out, my love, I love everything about you
Phuma nana siwalk'e sungathatha konke
Come out, let's walk and take everything in
Sungangigwaza ngaphel' amagama for you
I'll never run out of words for you
Ngazilanda zonke ng'funga mang'angisoze
I'll travel the world and still think of you
Ncungathatha lonke vuma sambe sonke
We'll take everything together
Phuma Langa sikothe
Come out, my love

Tüm yaz bu adamları dinleyip bu şarkıyı aralık da duymak. Utanç adlı eser resmen ... enfes bir parça olmuş
@alperaka3847
Dün de Vokswagen Arena yıkıldı bu parçayla. We love you a lot Oscar and the Wolf. It's not just love, it's adoration, and devotion. Always be there, create, and inspire us. Your fans in Turkey are not just fans. There's a bond between us, and we know you feel it. Come again in the spring, and in summer as well. Thumbs up!
