LALALA
Tatu18 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Úgy szeretnék egyszer én is
Valaki lenni
Úgy szeretnék egyszer én is
Kaviárt enni
Úgy szeretnék egyszer én is valami drága cuccot venn,
Úgy szertnék egyszer én is...

Volt néhány álmom,

Néhány tévedésem,
És néhány tervem, mai megbukott,
Már nem is tudom, hogy mit beszélek, csak énekelem azt, hogy:
Lalalalala....

Úgy szeretnék egyszer én is
Kisgyerekeket bántani,
Részeg, kanos matrózok előtt transzfesztitát játszani
Melegítő nadrágban struccot hajtani,
Kérlek ne röhögjetek rajtam,
Ezek a Karesz álmai!

Volt néhány álmom,
Néhány tévedésem,

És néhány tervem, ami megbukott, már nem is tudom, hogy mit beszélek, csak énekelem azt, hogy:
Lalalalalaaaaaa....

Overall Meaning

In the song "Lalala" by Tatu18, the lyrics depict a longing to be someone or have something that feels out of reach. The opening lines express a desire to one day be someone important, to have the luxury of eating caviar, and to possess expensive things. The repetitive phrase "Úgy szeretnék egyszer én is" emphasizes this longing for a different life or social status.

The next lines acknowledge that the singer has had dreams, made mistakes, and had plans that didn't work out. They are now unsure of what they're talking about but continue singing the "lalalalala" melody, suggesting a sense of uncertainty and resignation. The lyrics imply that despite the longing for a different life, they are unable to articulate or pursue it effectively.

The following verse takes a more absurd twist, expressing a desire to harm children, perform as a transvestite in front of drunken sailors, and train an ostrich while wearing track pants. The mention of "Karesz álmai" suggests that these dreams belong to a character named Karesz, potentially adding an element of humor or self-awareness in recognizing the unrealistic nature of these desires.

Overall, the lyrics of "Lalala" reflect a mix of longing, disillusionment, and whimsical fantasies, creating a juxtaposition between genuine desires for a better life and unrealistic dreams.
