Hola Frank
Sumo Lyrics

Hello Frank, how're you doing?
The singer greets Frank and asks how he is

Sunday morning blues, you know
Feeling melancholic on a Sunday morning is common

Just ain't the best
It is not the best feeling

When you just want to lie down
The melancholic feeling makes one want to rest

And have a good rest
And get some good sleep

'Cause the nerves kind of get to you
The feeling of being overwhelmed affects one's nerves

When you feel kinda small
The feeling makes one feel small and insignificant

And all those things moving
Things seem to be in motion

Up and down against the wall
As if moving up and down against the wall

Then you tie on that bandana
The singer ties on a bandana

And you feel kind of tough
The bandana makes the singer feel tough

People know you know
Others know that the singer knows how to handle tough situations

That life is really of rough
The singer believes that life is tough

And your mama comes and hits you
The singer's mother hits him with a plastic telephone

With a plastic telephone
A telephone made of plastic

And she's gone and told you
The mother tells the singer

You're not even home
That he is not at home

And she has called you
The mother has called

On that telephone
On the telephone

Your mum said you weren't home
The mother informed others that the singer was not home when he was

She called you on the telephone
She called the singer on the telephone while he was at home

Oh mama, what did you do?
The singer questions his mother's actions

She thinks I'm with her
The mother thinks the singer is with someone else

I'm gonna get blue
The singer is becoming depressed

I'm gonna cut my throat
The singer is having suicidal ideations

I'm gonna smash my head
The singer is feeling overwhelmed

I'm gonna jump into the bath
The singer considers the possibility of drowning

I'm gonna lie in bed
The singer is feeling defeated

Well anyway that never happened
None of the above self-destructive behaviors happened

Because, one day
The situation changed

Religion came to stay
The singer found religion

Oh yeah, religion come to stay
Religion became a permanent part of the singer's life

Oh yeah, bad vibes they've gone all away
Religion has helped the singer overcome negative feelings

Alright what you tell rastafar
The singer is asking what Rastafarian people believe

I tell you God there in the heaven
The singer confirms the belief in God in heaven

And he looks after you
God takes care of individuals

And that's what they say
According to common belief

Well I'm telling you from
The singer is sharing his opinion on religion

The southern United States of America
From the southern USA

The God and Christ are in your body
The singer believes that God and Christ live within individuals

And they're living with you
God and Christ coexist with individuals at all times

Dominus vobiscum, spiritu tuum
Latin phrase translated to: The Lord be with you, and with your spirit

All right, let's pray!
The singer invites listeners to pray together

Let us pray! Po po po
The singer repeats the call to prayer with a fun tone

Let us pray. A ja ja ja
The singer repeats the call to prayer with a joyful tone

Let us pray! Baby pray for us
The singer invites others to pray for them

Jesus Christ, won't You pray for us?
The singer asks Jesus to pray for them

I think we're there
The singer believes they have expressed everything they wanted to say

Oh, no! maybe not
The singer realizes they may have missed something

(Doesn't matter)
The singer is indifferent to the possibility of having missed anything important

Keep on well, you know
In spite of everything, it is important to keep going

These songs get kinda long
The singer acknowledges that their songs can be long

Specially when they call me on the telephone
Especially when someone interrupts them on the phone

Well I've forgotten what I thought
The singer lost their train of thought

So I think I'll just go on and sign this
The singer decides to bring the song to a close

Oh, baby, stand by me
The singer requests support from someone they love

Oh no no
No, it's not like that

No woman no cry
The song references a well-known Bob Marley song called 'No Woman, No Cry' which suggests that without problematic women in one's life, one will not have to cry as much

Oh, no no
No, not like that

La rubia tarada!!!
Spanish phrase that translates to 'the crazy blonde!!!'
