Wham Bam Shang-A-Lang
Silver Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Starry nights, sunny days
I always thought that love should be that way
Then comes a time when you're ridden with doubt
You've loved all you can and now you're all loved out
Ooh, ooh, baby, we've been a long, long way
And who's to say where we'll be tomorrow?
Well, my heart says no, but my mind says it's so
That we got a love, is it a love to stay?

We got a wham bam shang-a-lang
And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing
Wham bam shang-a-lang
And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing

Looking at you, I wanted to say
I think a little emotion goes a long, long way
Careful now, don't get caught in your dreams
Look out, baby, this is not what it seems
Ooh, ooh, baby, you've been so good to me
But please don't make it what it's not
Well, I thought we agreed on what we need
So listen to me, I'll tell you what we've got

We got a wham bam shang-a-lang
And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing
Wham bam shang-a-lang
And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing

I think you're seeing what I've been saying
'Cause I hear you singing to the tune I'm playing
And now that it's said and we both understand
Let's say our goodbye's before it gets out of hand so
Bye, bye, baby, I'd really like to stay
But we'll remember the best time in our life

We had a wham bam shang-a-lang
And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing
Wham bam shang-a-lang
And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing




Wham bam shang-a-lang
And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing

Overall Meaning

In the song, "Wham Bam Shang-A-Lang," the singer expresses their thoughts about love and how it should be both full of passion and also a long-lasting commitment, but sometimes it can be difficult to find both. There is a sense of indecisiveness, where the heart wants to stay, but the mind thinks it's best to move on. The lyrics show a recognition of the realities of love and relationships that can leave a person feeling unsure and confused.


The chorus of the song, which repeats twice within the lyrics, serves as a reminder of the excitement and thrill of love, even if it is short-lived. The chorus begins with "We've got a wham, bam, shang-a-lang, and a sha-la-la-la-la-la babe." The repeated phrase "sha-la-la-la-la-la babe," is a nod to the doo-wop style of the song and serves as a catchy hook to the listener.


Overall, "Wham Bam Shang-A-Lang" speaks to the complexities of relationships and acknowledges that sometimes a short and passionate fling is all we have.

Starry nights, sunny days
星の降る夜も,眩しい日差しの中でも

I always thought that love should be that way
ぼくは自分の恋がこのままであって欲しいと願っていた

Then comes a time that you're ridden with doubt
でも時が過ぎ,きみの中に疑いの心が募っていく

You've loved all you can and now you're all loved out
きみはきみにできるすべてのものを愛していたのに,その愛を今や遠ざけようとしている




0:26
Oooh-oooh baby, we've been a long, long way
ああ-ねえ,ベイビー。ぼくたちはずっとこの長い長い道を歩んできたんじゃないか

And who's to say where we'll be tomorrow
それなのに二人の明日は何処にあるのと誰が言うのかい

Well my heart says, no
ああ,ぼくも心ではこんな日が来るとは言いたくないよ

But my mind says, it's so
だけどぼくの気持ちの中にはそうなっても仕方がないのかなとも思えるのさ

That we've got a love
ぼくたちはまだ愛し合っているけれども

Is it a love to stay
この愛の中に本当に留まっていてもいいのだろうか




0:56
We've got a wham, bam shang-a-lang
ぼくたちはほんの行きずりの

And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing
ようなものになってしまったのかい

Wham bam shang-a-lang
ほんの通りすがりの

And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing
ような仲になってしまったのかい




1:16
Looking at you I wanted to say
君の瞳を見つめながら,ぼくは言いたい

I think a little emotion goes a long, long way
ほんのささいな感情の行き違いが,こんなに長い間にこじれてしまったのか

Careful now don't get caught in your dreams
どうしようもないことに陥らないよう,今は心を配るしかないのか

Look out baby this is not what it seems
良く考えてみてベイビー,本当はそんな事じゃないんだ




1:32
Oooh-oooh baby, you've been so good to me
ああ-ねえ,ベイビー。きみはずっとぼくによくしてくれたじゃないか

But please don't make it what it's not
だけど,どうかそうじゃないって決めつけないでくれないか

Well, I thought we agreed on what we need
ああ,ぼく達はお互いを必要としているって思っているはずだろ

So listen to me and I'll tell you what we've got
だからぼくの言うことを聞いて,ぼく達がいままでに築き上げてきたものを話すから




2:02
We've got a wham, bam shang-a-lang
だけどぼくたちは,ほんの行きずりの

And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing
ようなものになってしまったのかい

Wham bam shang-a-lang
ほんの通りすがりの

And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing
ような仲になってしまったのかい




2:35
I think you're seeing what I'm saying
たぶんきみはぼくが話している姿を眺めるのだろう

'Cause I hear you singing to the tune I'm playing
ぼくがこの曲を演奏するときに君がそれを口ずさんでいたから

Now that it's said and we both understand
でも今ではその歌詩はお互いが理解し話されたものとしてあるはずだ

Let's say our goodbyes before it gets out of hand
この事態が手に負えなくなる前にさよならを言うことになるのだろう




2:51
Bye, bye baby, I'd really like to stay
さよなら,ぼくのベイビー,本当はまだきみと一緒にいたかった

But we'll remember the best time in our lives
だけどぼく達はお互いの人生の中の最高の時を分かち合ったことはずっと覚えていくだろうね




3:05
We've got a wham, bam shang-a-lang
そしてぼくたちは,ほんの行きずりの

And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing
ようなものになってしまうのかい

Wham bam shang-a-lang
ほんの通りすがりの

And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing
ような仲になってしまうのかい

We've got a wham, bam shang-a-lang
そしてぼくたちは,ほんの行きずりの

And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing
ようなものになってしまうのかい

Wham bam shang-a-lang
ほんの通りすがりの

And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing
ような仲になってしまうのかい
