Cherry Oh
Seeed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh cherry, oh cherry, oh baby
Don't you know I'm in need of thee?
If you don't believe it's true
What have you left for me to do?
Look how long I've been waiting
For you to come right in
And now that we are together
Please make all my joys come over

Whoah
Whoah

In deinem Garten lieg ich und warte
Schau zu dir hoch, sondier die Lage
Spätsommerlicht gibt dir deine Farbe
Du wirfst dich für mich in feinste Schale
Hab mich im Blick, brauch Zeit und Glück
Denn ich weiß, du wirst nicht so einfach gepflückt (Oh no)
Bist dahin lieg ich hier und zähl die Tage
Yeah ay yeah

Oh cherry, oh cherry, oh baby
Can't you see I'm in love with you?
If you don't believe I do,
Then why don't you try me?
I will never let you down
I will never make you wear no frown
If you say that you love me madly
Oh babe I will accept you gladly

Whoah (Mein Früchtchen)
Whoah (hey)

Cherry, oh Baby, steh hier mit roten Ohren
Will was großes sagen, hab's irgendwo verloren.
Baby, ich schwärm für dich, du bist ein Stern für mich
Ich mach mich zum Idioten, das mach ich gern für dich
Schon seit einem Jahr geh ich neben dir, steh ich neben dir
Wir nehmen den gleichen Bus, hast du dich nie gefragt
Wer wirft diesen Schatten auf den Weg vor dir?
Ich war gleich verliebt, weiche Knie
Du bist die heißeste Kirsche am Baum, einfach süß
Steig über'n Zaun, will dich klauen, doch ich weiß nicht wie
Oh, vielleicht hängst du zu hoch und ich erreiche dich nie

Oh cherry, oh cherry, oh baby
Don't you know I'm in need of thee?
If you don't believe it's true
What have you left for me to do?
Look how long I've been waiting
For you to come right in
And now that we are together
Please make all my joys come over

Whoah
Whoah
