Pale Sunday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And singing â??la, la, lalaâ?¦ la, la, la laâ??
I don't know where she comes from
But the way she plays, makes me feel happy
How I'm feeling happy
For a while I close my eyes
But I open them again
I'm afraid that she goes (that she goes away)
Who's that girl playing a white tambourine?
And singing â??la, la, la la la, la, la laâ??
I need to know where she comes from
If she lives in this world
I'm feeling so happy
How I'm feeling happy
Then I run across the square
Near her I finally say how wonderful she is
Then she smiles and gives me a kiss
The song "The White Tambourine" by Pale Sunday talks about a girl who is playing a white tambourine and singing "la, la, lala, la, la, la, la" in a way that makes the singer feel happy. The lyrics suggest that the singer does not know where the girl comes from but her performance on the tambourine has a positive effect on him. He feels like he's flying when he closes his eyes and listens to her play. However, he is afraid that she will go away when he opens his eyes again.
The chorus repeats the question "who's that girl playing a white tambourine?" but this time with added emphasis on the need to know where she comes from. The singer is desperate to find out if this girl exists in the real world and if she does, he's feeling happy. The bridge of the song talks about how the singer musters up the courage to run across the square to tell the girl that she's wonderful. In return, the girl smiles and gives him a kiss, suggesting that she appreciates the singer's admiration.
The song lyrics are uplifting and playful, with a sense of wonder and excitement. It's a tribute to the power of music and how it can transform our mood, even if only for a moment. The white tambourine and the girl playing it are used as symbols of the joy that music can bring to our lives.

Who's that girl playing a white tambourine?
I'm curious about the identity of the girl playing a white tambourine.
And singing â??la, la, lalaâ?¦ la, la, la laâ??
She is humming a tune which sounds like la, la, lalaâ?¦ la, la, la la.
I don't know where she comes from
I'm unaware of her origin.
But the way she plays, makes me feel happy
The girl's tambourine playing brings me joy.
How I'm feeling happy
I feel quite content.
For a while I close my eyes
I shut my eyes tightly.
And I feel that I can fly
I experience a sensation of flying through the air.
But I open them again
I uncover my eyes.
I'm afraid that she goes (that she goes away)
I don't want her to leave my sight.
I need to know where she comes from
I am anxious to find out more about her origins.
If she lives in this world
I wonder if she is a resident of this planet.
Then I run across the square
I sprint across the plaza.
Near her I finally say how wonderful she is
I finally express how magnificent I think she is.
Then she smiles and gives me a kiss
She returns my admiration and gives me a peck on the cheek.
