Frida Hyvönen - Oh Shanghai lyrics
[Frida Hyvönen - Oh Shanghai lyrics]
Our love is a flower that blossoms in China
Cigarettes in boxes with roses in crates
I write your short name on my wrist in China
Ink so black that night you're renamed
O-o-o oh… and trouble in the name
Oh Shanghai, who do you belong to?
Who do you care for and who do you forget?
Admit I got lost in your embrace
What to care for and what to forget?
Came another night and, slow
The wind rolled through Shanghai
Purple and green
The light under bridges and in the park
It's not like in my Russian days when
My brain shot with wit and style
But the bars are ours, and my heart is yours
And our love is a flower and a running horse
O-o-o oh… oh, stallion with your shiny
Polished black hooves
Oh Shanghai, who do you belong to?
Who do you care for and who do you forget?
Admit I got lost in your embrace
What to care for and what to forget?
The sparks outshine the stars when
Windmill scrapers in the sky
Fake of night and their burning
Clouds dark with their torch
It's on the ground, underground
Can you feel the underground
It's really not here, it's a little
Below to cover the holes, to cover the holes
Oooh… to say farewell to you
And to mean it too
Oh Shanghai, who do you belong to?
Who do you care for and who do you forget?
Admit I got lost in your embrace
What to care for and what to forget?
Cigarettes in boxes with roses in crates
I write your short name on my wrist in China
Ink so black that night you're renamed
O-o-o oh… and trouble in the name
Oh Shanghai, who do you belong to?
Who do you care for and who do you forget?
Admit I got lost in your embrace
What to care for and what to forget?
Came another night and, slow
The wind rolled through Shanghai
Purple and green
The light under bridges and in the park
It's not like in my Russian days when
My brain shot with wit and style
But the bars are ours, and my heart is yours
And our love is a flower and a running horse
O-o-o oh… oh, stallion with your shiny
Polished black hooves
Oh Shanghai, who do you belong to?
Who do you care for and who do you forget?
Admit I got lost in your embrace
What to care for and what to forget?
The sparks outshine the stars when
Windmill scrapers in the sky
Fake of night and their burning
Clouds dark with their torch
It's on the ground, underground
Can you feel the underground
It's really not here, it's a little
Below to cover the holes, to cover the holes
Oooh… to say farewell to you
And to mean it too
Oh Shanghai, who do you belong to?
Who do you care for and who do you forget?
Admit I got lost in your embrace
What to care for and what to forget?
