ORIGINAL SONGTEXTE
Well ...
In this life I've seen everything I can see, woman
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun
And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sitting watching picture slides
But I never seen nothin' like you
[Chorus 1]
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Woman ...
Do ya, do ya want my face?
I need it
Do ya, do ya want my mind?
I'm sayin'
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Well I heard the crowd singin' out of tune
As they sat and sang 'Auld Lang Syne' by the light of the moon
I heard the preacher bangin' on the drums
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothing like you
In the country where the sky touches down on the field
She lay her down to rest in the morning sun
They come-a-runnin' just to get a look
Just to feel to touch her long black hair
They don't give a damn
But I never seen nothin' like you
[Chorus 2]
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Woman ...
Do ya, do ya want my face?
I need it
Do ya, do ya want my mind?
I'm sayin'
Do ya, do ya want my love?
[Verse 3]
Well, I think you know what I'm trying to say, woman
That is, I'd like to save you for a rainy day
I've seen enough of the world to know
That I've got to get it all
To get it all to grow
[Final Chorus]
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Come on now
Do ya, do ya want my face?
I need it
Do ya, do ya want my mind?
All right, yeah
Do ya, do ya want my love?
[Outro]
Oh, look out
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Oh-oh
ÜBERSETZUNG
Na ja ...
In diesem Leben habe ich alles gesehen, was ich sehen kann, Frau
Ich habe Liebende gesehen, die Hand in Hand durch die Luft fliegen
Ich habe Babys gesehen, die in der Mitternachtssonne tanzen
Und ich habe Träume gesehen, die vom Himmel über mir kamen
Ich habe alte Männer gesehen, die an ihren eigenen Gräbern weinen
Und ich habe Schweine gesehen, die sich Dias ansehen
Aber so was wie dich hab ich noch nie gesehen
(Refrain 1)
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Frau ...
Do ya, do ya want my face?
Ich brauche es
Do ya, do ya want my mind?
I'm sayin'
Do ya, do ya want my love?

[Strophe 3]
Nun, ich glaube, du weißt, was ich sagen will, Frau
Das heißt, ich möchte dich aufsparen für einen regnerischen Tag
Ich habe genug von der Welt gesehen, um zu wissen
Dass ich alles kriegen muss
Um alles zu kriegen, um zu wachsen
(Schlusschor)
