Description
The dance floor seemed frozen between the past and the present. Somewhere between the shelf with rice and the line for "Four Roses," a small miracle happened - a meeting that lit up garlands inside. Everything seems ordinary: the supermarket, the fluorescent lights, the music crackling slightly from the speakers... but they have their own soundtrack - with a light funk drive, the aroma of basmati rice, and a smile that makes the air warmer. She spins like vinyl, he picks up the rhythm as if he's been rehearsing this moment for a long time. And there's so much confidence in this carefree groove that even the words "new" don't sound like a risk, but a promise of something real. It's not the blues - it's a soft, tart jam made of coincidences, flirting, and a little bit of fate.
Lyrics and translation
Original
She's singing Maria, Maria.
She needed a familiar song, but I needed a re-up on before that drum.
Arms swinging like a preacher 'cause I been knowing it's calm when I'm with you.
She turned me to a believer when I can't decide. Got four roses in hand.
We in the Keefoo's line.
I know you wanted McLovin before that feeling subsides. She was more than enough.
So it's a good thing, gone, if I got you.
I know it's something new.
We ain't singing the blues.
I wanna see this through.
All the party purveyors are walking in, but one invitee with a grin kinda floats like the wind as she two-steps inside, spinning, pirouetting with a glide.
I invited you specifically to take the bait, and you smile later confiding that you couldn't wait. All the magic and charisma got us moving like a thriller. You a
P. Y. T. , baby, be my lastin' date. The Righteous Brothers, others and others,
Laurels and Hardys, two folks at parties, Cokes and Bacardis, curry, basmati, Sonny
Chiba in karate.
These appearances of camaraderie, but I'm telling anybody that the girl I just met won't leave me with regret and -ain't a- -So it's a good thing, gone, if I got you.
-Yeah. -I know it's something new.
Something new.
We ain't singing the blues.
-Yeah. -I wanna see this through. Hey.
It's a good thing, gone, if I, if I got you.
It's a good thing, gone, if I got you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
