little satchel
Samamidon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can tocuh our little satchel
On my head
Come lay your little hand
You will be
My own true lover
I will be your loving little man
Run to the house
Bride of mine you'll ever be
If he says no
Come back and tell me
And i'll wait till you'll get free
When you'll get free
Well then we'll get married
Look how happy we will be
Or we'll go to california
Any place you want to go
I wish i was a little angel
Over these prison walls i would fly
Fly oh back
To the arms of my darling
Stay at home and there i would die
As you can see
I'm no little angel
Neither have i wings to fly
I'll go back all broken hearted
Weep and moan until i die
Under my bed
You can touch our little satchel
On my head come lay your little hand
You will be
My own true lover
I will be your loving little man
.....
Then we'lll get married
Look how happy we will be
Or we'll go to california
The song "Little Satchel" by Samamidon tells of a romantic encounter between two individuals who plan to get married. The lyrics describe an embrace between the two lovers, with the singer inviting his partner to touch their little satchel, likely a gift or symbol of their love. The singer pledges his love to the other person, promising to be their faithful companion. He also offers to do anything for his lover, even flee to California if they desire to do so. The song then takes a melancholic turn and shifts into the perspective of the singer, who wishes he were an angel so he could fly over prison walls and reunite with his beloved. However, he leaves the listener with the sentiment that he will remain devoted to his lover no matter what the future holds.
The lyrics to "Little Satchel" emphasize the enduring nature of love and the lengths that people will go to be with one another. The singer's willingness to run away with his beloved or die brokenhearted emphasizes the strength of his love. Despite the bittersweet ending, the song leaves the listener with a sense of hope and demonstrates the power of connection between two people.

Under my bed
There's something hidden under the bed
You can touch our little satchel
The hidden thing is a small satchel that can be accessed
On my head come lay your little hand
Come closer to me, put your hand on my head
You will be My own true lover
I want you to be my lover for real
I will be your loving little man
I want to love you properly, like a little man would
Run to the house And ask your papa Bride of mine you'll ever be
Ask your father if he'd allow you to be my bride
If he says no Come back and tell me And i'll wait till you'll get free
Come back to me when he denies us and I will wait for you
When you'll get free Well then we'll get married Look how happy we will be
Once you're free, we'll get married and be happy
Or we'll go to california Any place you want to go

I wish i was a little angel
I wish I could be an angel
Over these prison walls i would fly Fly oh back To the arms of my darling
If I were an angel, I'd fly over these walls to my lover's arms
Stay at home and there i would die
I'd rather be with my lover in their arms or die at home
As you can see I'm no little angel Neither have i wings to fly
Sadly, I am not an angel and can't fly
I'll go back all broken hearted Weep and moan until i die
I'll go back disappointed, crying and heartbroken, and stay that way until I die
Under my bed You can touch our little satchel On my head come lay your little hand
Again, I mention the satchel under the bed and ask you to come closer to me
You will be My own true lover I will be your loving little man
And again, I convey that I want to love you properly as your man

Repeating the idea of our happiness when we get married or go to California
