Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I believe it was with you there on the beach in Lisabon
Or was it there that time in Paris,
With a bowl of fresh mocha ice cream
Or could it have been with the two of us
over the sea in that hot-air balloon
Shalalie Shalala
Shalalie Shalala
Shalalie Shalala it’s there when I get up in the morning
I’m in love with you
That’s why I soon forget everything
And I don’t remember
Shalalie Shalala
Shalalie Shalala, that’s about how it goes
I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love ……..it easily shows
It’s also quite possible that I was on a plane to Oslo with you
Or was it coming from a bar in this alley when we where in Trinidad
Or with a fine glass of wine on that little terrace in Berlin
Or was it Moscon where I got my first kiss from you
How come I... How come I
How come I How come I
How come I don’t remember
Shalalie Shalala
Shalalie Shalala, I can’t get it out of my head
Shalalie Shalala
Shalalie Shalala it’s there when I get up in the morning
I’m in love with you
That’s why I soon forget everything
And I don’t remember
Shalalie Shalala
Shalalie Shalala, that’s about how it goes
Shalalie Shalala
Shalalie Shalala, I can’t get it out of my head
Shalalie Shalala
Shalalie Shalala it’s there when I get up in the morning
I’m in love with you
That’s why I soon forget everything
And I don’t remember
Shalalie Shalala
Shalalie Shalala, that’s about how it goes
Shalalie Shalala
Shalalie Shalala Yes, I remember now! …..!
