North Wind
Texas Bill Strength Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she was fair to see
I fell in love with that pretty little girl
She fell in love with me
I kissed her on her dimpled chin
While stars in heaven did play
But along came a-howlin′
That old North wind
North wind
North wind
Bring my baby back again
North wind
Where did she go?
Nobody but you will ever know
It seems I hear her calling me
And when I answer back
I find it's just that old North wind
Whistling around my shack
Each night before I go to sleep
Down on my knees I pray
That the old North wind′ll come a-howlin' by
And carry me away
North wind
North wind
Bring my baby back again
North wind
Where did she go?
Nobody but you will ever know.

Well, once I met a pretty little girl
I met a girl who caught my eye and was attractive
And she was fair to see
She was beautiful
I fell in love with that pretty little girl
I became enamored with her and had strong feelings of love
She fell in love with me
She reciprocated my feelings and also fell in love with me
I kissed her on her dimpled chin
I expressed my affection for her by kissing her on her chin
While stars in heaven did play
This romantic moment happened as if it were orchestrated by the stars above
But along came a-howlin′
Suddenly, there was an intense and loud noise
That old North wind
This noise was caused by the strong gusts of wind from the North
And carried her away
The wind took my beloved away from me
North wind
I am addressing the wind and calling it by its name
Bring my baby back again
I am imploring the wind to bring my beloved back to me
Where did she go?
I am asking the wind where it took my love
Nobody but you will ever know
I realize that only the wind knows where my beloved has gone and no one else
It seems I hear her calling me
I feel like I can hear my beloved's voice calling out to me
And when I answer back
I respond to her call
I find it's just that old North wind
However, the source of the sound is not my beloved, but the same pesky North wind
Whistling around my shack
This wind is making a high-pitched sound around my home
Each night before I go to sleep
Every night, before I lay down in bed
Down on my knees I pray
I kneel in prayer and seek divine assistance
That the old North wind'll come a-howlin' by
I hope that the North wind will blow hard once more
And carry me away
This time, I wish to be taken away by the wind instead of losing my beloved to it

昨日も今日も北風が強いのでフト… 中学の頃に初めて聞いた記憶 もはや60年以上前 日本では変てこな声の(失礼)お兄さんが歌ってた 懐かしいな
@TXcosmos
@M Yoko ~ ヘンテコな声のお兄さんて誰でしたか？ 思わず笑ってしまいましたよ。 小坂一也のことですか？ 神戸のジャズ喫茶に出ていたBlue Cowboysと言うバンドの石橋イサオさんがいい声でNorth Wind を唄って居ました。のちに平尾昌章ひきいるAll Stars Wagon というバンドにスカウトされて関東に出てきました。1959年1960年の頃の大昔のことですがこの間の様に思い出されます。良い時代でした。日本人が人間らしく生きていた頃です。
