Black burn, I feel so alone
without you boy - jedey
now I 'm here hanging out in the street
thinking about reactions over actions
walking on the sky of my dreams
Come, come, my baby come
I will show you the world
jedey, jede-de-dey
Come, come, my baby come
I will cover your nightmares
jede-de-de-de-dey
Come, come, my baby come
I will love you forever
jodoh-o-o-jode-de-gey
Come, come, my baby come
I will not let you go-o-o-o-o
My love, I just feel so lost
without you boy - jedey
I, I'm yours even if time has passed
Take me away from this impetuous world
leaving this jail of my mind
Come, come, my baby come
I will show you the world
jedey, jede-de-dey
Come, come, my baby come
I will cover your nightmares
jede-de-de-de-dey
Come, come, my baby come
I will love you forever
jodoh-o-o-jode-de-gey
Come, come, my baby come
I will not let you go-o-o-o-o
My soul, my soul is in Africa
with you boy
Come, come, my baby come
I will show you the world
jedey, jede-de-dey
Come, come, my baby come
I will cover your nightmares
jede-de-de-de-dey
Come, come, my baby come
I will love you forever
jodoh-o-o-jode-de-gey
Come, come, my baby come
I will not let you go-o-o-o-o
My soul, is in Africa
with you boy - jedey
Looking at the stars on this diamond sky
Giving you my smile
So you can keep it on your mind
Floating on your blazing eyes
Come, come, my baby come
I will show you the world
jedey, jede-de-dey
Come, come, my baby come
I will cover your nightmares
jede-de-de-de-dey
Come, come, my baby come
I will love you forever
jodoh-o-o-jode-de-gey
Come, come, my baby come
I will not let you go-o-o-o-o
BLACK BURN= could it be that she feels like she has a burn on her heart? That burn would be black because it is caused by a black boy who lives in Africa, as she later says. But that's only a guess.
HANGING OUT= Just going round for fun or to kill the time in bore.
COME= /kʌm/, but she pronounces it /kɒmə/, probably because she is trying to immitate some African accent.
COVER YOUR NIGHTMARES= A nightmare is a bad dream, and if I cover them for you, I am making them disappear or at least making you feel better. Or at least that's what I suppose she means (very enygmatic these lyrics)
IMPETUOUS= Intense, using violent forces.
JAIL= (BrE spelling: gaol) Prison.
SOUL= Spirit.
BLAZING= Shining strongly; burning violently.
