Stella
Pig & Dan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She looked into my eyes, into an outlaws soul
See, I'm a man on the run
She looked at me as I strapped on my gun,
She said to me, I'll be hanged by my neck for the crimes that I've done
Bounty Bounty run wanted man
When will I see you again?
I said I'm leaving one last time, one more bank
commit one last crime
And then I'm done
That's when I will see you again
Ikiwa waenda nyumbani mwenzangu
Mwambie Stella nimefungwa jela
Nilishikwa jana nikiiba hela
Sitting in my cell wondering what went wrong
I was robbing one last bank and now my grave is worn
I was shot as I run
Shot in the leg as I took out my gun
Now I am sitting here alone in my cell
Isolated and cold
Bounty bunty captured outlaw
When will I see you again?
when will I kiss you again?
In the silenec of my mind I've kissed that skin , those lips and those eyes
I've said to myself that I must try to find a way to see her again
Ikiwa waenda nyumbani mwenzangu
Mwambie Stella kesho naenda Kortini
The judge, He Looked at me and said You're done
He looked into my eyes, into an outlaw's soul
You were a man on the run
You terrorised and you killed with your gun
And now tommorrow you will hang by your neck for the crimes that you've done
Bounty Bounty Die wanted man
Has she come has she come to see me again?
And so I looked around the court
Tears in my eyes, I'm looking for my love
She wasn't there
And that's when I knew I would never ever see her again
That's when I knew I'd never ever kiss her again
Ikiwa waenda nyumbani, Mwenzangu
Mwambie Stella, Kesho wataninyonga
Mwambie Stella, Kesho wataninyonga
Mwambie Stella, bado ninampenda

Tell my love Stella that I have been imprisoned for stealing money

Reinforcing that I was a wanted man with a bounty on my head
Has she come has she come to see me again?
Wondering if she has come to visit me

Looking around the court for my love with tears in my eyes
She wasn't there
She did not come to see me for my trial
And that's when I knew I would never ever see her again
Realizing that I will never be able to see her again
That's when I knew I'd never ever kiss her again
Realizing that I will never be able to kiss her again
Mwambie Stella, Kesho wataninyonga
Tell my love Stella, tomorrow they will hang me
Mwambie Stella, bado ninampenda
Tell my love Stella, I still love her
