Lyrics
Oh Shanghai
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Ooooh… 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
Ooooh… 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 (?) 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?
