Lola
Rubettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
Music we make with our lips when we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet and we'll go
Flyin' high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
The lyrics in the Rubettes' song Lola are a romantic ode to love and how it can be expressed through different ways. From the beginning, the singer describes how the sound of the lover's sigh is like the melody of the Lullaby of Birdland. It's a beautiful and tender way of illustrating the effect the lover has on the singer. The singer admits that they can't find words that accurately reveal their feelings. Love is mysterious, and it's difficult to communicate it in a way that captures its essence. But the singer finds solace in the magic of music and how it can express what can't be put into words.
The next verse references the two turtle doves – a common symbol of love and heartache – and how they express their love with their coos. The singer compares their sonic love-making to the passionate kissing that they share with their lover. The chorus is a throwback to the Lullaby of Birdland in the beginning, but with a romantic twist. The singer pleads for their lover to whisper softly and kiss them, so they can fly high in birdland. The weepy old willow is a representation of how the singer will cry if their lover ever leaves them. The final line of the chorus encapsulates all the feelings of the singer; it's all because they are in love that they can fly high in birdland.
Line by Line Meaning
Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I
I associate the sound of Birdland's lullaby when you sigh
Always hear when you sigh
Every time you sigh, I hear the lullaby of Birdland
Never in my wordland
There's no better way to express how I feel
Could there be ways to reveal
I can't find any words to describe my feelings for you
In a phrase how I feel
I need more than just words to express my emotions
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Do you know the sound of two love birds
Bill and coo when they love?
That's how we sound when we are in love
That's the kind of magic
Our love is like a magic that music can create
Music we make with our lips when we kiss
The sound of our lips when we kiss creates beautiful music
And there's a weepy old willow
I see a sad tree that cries
He really knows how to cry
It knows how to express sadness through tears
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
I would be as sad as the weeping willow if you say goodbye
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
If you leave me, I'll be as sad as the weeping willow
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Whisper sweet words of love to me like a lullaby from Birdland
Kiss me sweet and we'll go
Let's kiss and go to a happy place
Flyin' high in Birdland
Let's soar high in our love like in Birdland
High in the sky up above
We'll be up in the sky, higher than the clouds
All because we're in love
Our love is what will take us high up in the sky
