Sweet Kiss
Yaima Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had the stars
Of the darkest night
And diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all
For your sweet kiss
That's all I'm wishing to be owning
(From Bob Dylan- "Spanish Boots")

The lyrics of Yaima's song "Sweet Kiss" are simple and straightforward yet incredibly powerful. The lyrics begin by expressing a desire for something so unimaginably vast and infinite as the stars of the darkest night and diamonds from the deepest ocean. However, the idea of forsaking all of that to own just a sweet kiss is what makes the lyrics so special. It is a reminder that sometimes the simplest things in life are the most valuable and that often what we seek is already right in front of us.


The song's overall theme seems to be about the longing for pure, simple and genuine love. The lyrics express a longing for something that is intangible- a kiss that holds within it the promise of love, affection, and devotion. The message of the song is that the greatest treasure one can have is the love and connection they share with others. The song is a reminder that no amount of wealth or status can bring true happiness and that we should focus on the things that truly matter in life, such as love and human connections.


Line by Line Meaning

If I had the stars
If I possessed the stars in the sky


Of the darkest night
On the darkest of nights


And diamonds from the deepest ocean
As well as diamonds found in the deep ocean depths


I'd forsake them all
I would give up all those treasures


For your sweet kiss
Just for the chance to taste your lips


That's all I'm wishing to be owning
It's the only thing I desire to have
