Sofi Mkheyan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
It is often that I wonder
Why women love men
And I look back and I wonder
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
Gonna build me another castle
On a mountain so high
So then I can see my true love
As she passes by.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
--- Instrumental ---
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
I know you of old
You have robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and of gold.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July
These lyrics are a combination of different verses from traditional folksongs. The first verse is a variation of a popular American folk song called "The Cuckoo", which tells the story of a bird that is seen as a symbol of love and happiness but is not given water until a particular day. This can be interpreted as someone holding back their love or affection until they feel the time is right.
The second verse shifts gears and becomes more introspective, reflecting on the complex relationship between men and women. It's a universal question that has been asked throughout the ages and the singer admits to not having an answer. This can be seen as a nod to the complexity of love and relationships.
The third verse is about wishing to build another castle on a mountain so high that the singer can see their true love as she passes by. This speaks to the desire for distance and space in relationships, and maybe even a slight fear of intimacy or commitment.
The fourth verse is a reference to a traditional playing card ballad, "Jack of Diamonds". In the ballad, the Jack of Diamonds is portrayed as a thief and a scoundrel who steals from the singer. This verse could be seen as a comment on the untrustworthiness of love and relationships, and how they can sometimes feel like they are taking advantage of us.
Overall, the song seems to be grappling with the complexities of love and relationships, and the emotions that come along with them. It touches on themes of love, fear, distance, and trust, all through the lens of traditional folksongs and ballads.
