COCONUT TREE

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

I’VE BEEN TO PARIS AND LONDON
IT’S ALL WORK THERE’S NO FUN
PUSHING, SHOVING ALL AROUND
NOBODY’S HAPPY I’LL BE BOUND

I’VE BEEN TO MOSCOW AND TO TORONTO
NEVER SEEN SO MUCH SNOW
THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO BE
10 BELOW IS NOT FOR ME

THE SEA THE SUN AND THE COCONUT TREE
THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO SEE
THERE’S NO BETTER PLACE TO BE
THE SEA, THE SUN AND A COCONUT TREE

ONE THING I’M SURE OF
I NEED SOME MORE OF
ENCORE, ENCORE OF
THE SEA THE SUN AND THE COCONUT TREE


I BEEN TO TOKYO AND NEW YORK
ALL THEM SIGNS SAY STOP DON’T WALK
I JUST WANT TO FLY AWAY
BACK TO WHERE THE STEEL BANDS PLAY

THAT IS ALL THAT I WANT TO SAY

THE SEA THESUN AND A COCONUT TREE
THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO SEE
THERE’S NO BETTER PLACE TO BE
THE SEA, THE SUN AND THE COCONUT TREE

ES:

Yo no juego
Ya sabe que tu y yo somos más que amigos
Ya sabes que ésta noche te vas conmigo
Y vamo' a pasarla bien
Y vamo' a pasarla bien

Dime donde es que tu estas

Vamo' a perrear toa' la noche
Hasta las huesos

Delirando en cada esquina

I don't play
You know that you and I are more than friends
You know that tonight you're going with me
And we're gonna have a good time
And we're gonna have a good time

Tell me where is it that you are
That I'm coming to you
We're gonna party all night long
To the bone
Tell me where is it that you want
That I'll take you
Don't play hard to get, mami
Don't play hard to get

How nice it is
Dancing really close
How nice you move
You move that little body
How nice it is
Dancing really close
How nice you move
You move that little body

You got me crazy
You got me freaky
Oh moving that tiki tiki
I'm gonna capture you like Pokemon
You're my obsession
I'm diabetic without insulin
Delirious at every corner
For your love
For your love

You came alone
But today
With me you're leaving baby
With me you're leaving
You came alone
But today
With me you're leaving my love
With me

How nice it is
Dancing really close
How nice you move
You move that little body
How nice it is
Dancing really close
How nice you move
You move that little body

Tell me where is it that you are
That I'm coming to you
We're gonna party all night long
To the bone
Tell me where is it that you want
That I'll take you
Don't play hard to get, mami
Don't play hard to get

Get in position
And show me those skills
That you know how to do
I'm a gentleman
That's why you go first
Pour yourself that drink
I'll be waiting for you on the way out

How nice it is
Dancing really close
How nice you move
You move that little body
How nice it is
Dancing really close
How nice you move
You move that little body

ES:

Ella después de la disco se calentó
En medio de la noche salió el sol
Y yo probé sus labios
Y ahí mismo quedé
Y la verdad no sé
Explicarte cómo fue
Si fue su cara o fue su pelo
Yo solo sé que quiero repetir de nuevo

Que bien lo hicimos esa noche
Nos devoramos en el coche
Y tú con tu perfume Dolce
Y nos pasamos fue un derroche
Toda la noche

Hicimos el amor después de la tertulia
De apellido Caliente, de nombre Julia
Una princesa aunque no venga de Asturias
Pero que fue salvaje controlar sus uñas
Y nos devoramos en el asiento trasero
La pasión a full los sentimientos bajo cero
Estaba mojada parecía un aguacero
Dice que soy su juguete y no quiero salir del juego
Y yo quiero repetir, no hay otra que le pueda competir
Cuando yo me voy ella me hace venir

Que bien lo hicimos esa noche
Nos devoramos en el coche
Y tú con tu perfume Dolce
Y nos pasamos fue un derroche
Toda la noche

Oooooooo, ooooo
Contigo mami lo repito
Una y otra vez
Oooooooo, oooooo
Tu eres la que me vira el mundo
Y me pones al revés
Oooooooo, ooooo
No quiero que te vallas
Ay mami quédate
Oooooooo, oooooo
Si tú eres la manzana
Entonces yo te morderé

Me lo hizo en la escalera
Me lo hizo en la piscina
Me lo hizo dentro del auto
Esa mujer es divina
Me gusta como camina
Me gustan toa' sus locuras
Yo con ella me caso
Está demasiado dura

Que bien lo hicimos esa noche
Nos devoramos en el coche
Y tú con tu perfume Dolce
Y nos pasamos fue un derroche
Toda la noche

Oooooooo, ooooo
No quiero que te vallas
Ay mami quédate
Oooooooo, oooooo
Si tú eres la manzana
Entonces yo te morderé




EN:

She got heated up after the disco
In the middle of the night the sun came out
And I tasted her lips
And right there I stayed
And the truth is I don't know
I can't tell you how it was
If it was her face or her hair
I only know that I want to repeat it again

What a good time we had that night
We devoured each other in the car
And you with your Dolce perfume
And we went on and on it was great
All night long

We made love after chatting
Her last name Caliente, her first name Julia
A princess though she didn't come from Asturias
But it was wild to control her nails
And we devoured each other in the back seat
Passion at full throttle feelings below zero
She was wet like a storm
She says I'm her toy and I don't want to get out of the game
And I want to repeat, there's no other that can compete with her
When I leave she makes me come

What a good time we had that night
We devoured each other in the car
And you with your Dolce perfume
And we went on and on it was great
All night long

Oooooooo, ooooo
With you mami I'd repeat it
Over and over again
Oooooooo, oooooooo
You're the one that flips my world
And you turn me upside down
Oooooooo, oooooo
I don't want you to go away
Oh mami stay right here
Oooooooo, oooooooo
If you're the apple
Then I'll bite you

She did it to me on the stairs
She did it to me in the pool
She did it to me in the car
That woman is divine
I like the way she walks
I like all her crazy ways
I'll marry her
She's too good

What a good time we had that night
We devoured each other in the car
And you with your Dolce perfume
And we went on and on it was great
All night long

Oooooooo, oooooo
I don't want you to go away
Oh mami stay right here
Oooooooo, oooooooo
If you're the apple
Then I'll bite you

ES:

estoy cansada y no lo entiendo
intento expresarlo con palabras
y al final salen bostezos

el miedo
de verme en un espejo
y disociar entre la imagen
y entre lo que en si proyecto

casi ni veo cine
desecho mis deseos
ya no hago lo que quiero
porque nunca tengo tiempo
y me lamento
y lo único pienso
es que me come la ciudad
y que me enreda el pelo el viento

pensé que amar sería suficiente
pero me siento sola y peleada con mi mente
no creo en mi talento como antes
no soy la que era antes
no soy suficiente
o soy demasiado grande
no soy nada fuerte
o es que tengo mucho aguante
no recuerdo nada lo que es sentirme bien
con el alma llena como un niño
que empieza a correr

pinto todo de color pastel para creer
que algún día la ternura me va a devolver
todo lo que el tedio y lo que el daño me han quitado
las horas de un sueño malgastado
pinto todo de color pastel para creer
que algún día la ternura me va a devolver
todo lo que el tedio y lo que el daño me han quitado
las horas de sueño que las noches me han robado
las horas de sueño que las noches me han robado
las horas de sueño que las noches me han robado

tal vez el camino equivocado
sea siempre el que me ha conquistado
ya tengo el enigma descifrado
el tiempo se pasa muy despacio

no busco na' de nadie
la suerte no me sobra pero siempre se comparte
escribo versos con punto y a parte
porque un punto y seguido implica motivos pa' seguir adelante
pero tranquilas que aquí mando yo
el agua limpia todo y últimamente está lloviendo un montón
no quiero sentir ni un remordimiento nunca más
la sensación que mas me pesa es la de recordar

algún día estaré bien lo puedo asegurar
sentirme a mí misma es suficiente pa' avanzar
igual que el pie que se siente a sí mismo al andar
igual que dos enamorados dentro de un maizal
escribo para mí y para reafirmar
que puede que algún día este cigarro se apague sin más
y no lo entenderás por no haber querido preguntar

ya no te sientas mal por mí me he cambiado de piel
a veces tu recuerdo incluso me sabe a miel
he estado imaginándome que es lo que quiero ser
y solo busco ser más gata que nunca y correr
y correr y correr y correr
y correr


pinto todo de color pastel para creer
que algún día la ternura me va a devolver
todo lo que el tedio y lo que el daño me han quitado
las horas de un sueño malgastado
pinto todo de color pastel para creer
que algún día la ternura me va a devolver
todo lo que el tedio y lo que el daño me han quitado
las horas de sueño que las noches me han robado



EN:

I'm tired and I don't understand
I try to put it into words
and in the end yawns come out

the fear
of seeing myself in a mirror
and dissociate between the image
and between what I project

I almost don't watch movies
I discard my desires
I no longer do what I want
because I never have time
and I lament
and the only thing I think
is that the city eats me up
and that the wind is tangling my hair

I thought that loving would be enough
but I feel lonely and at odds with my mind
I don't believe in my talent like before
I'm not what I used to be
I'm not enough
or I'm too big
I'm not strong at all
or is it that I have too much endurance
I don't remember what it's like to feel good
with a soul as full as a child
who starts to run

I paint everything in pastel colors to believe
that someday tenderness will return to me
all that boredom and hurt have taken away from me
the hours of a wasted dream
I paint everything in pastel colors to believe
that someday tenderness will return to me
all that boredom and hurt have taken away from me
the hours of sleep that the nights have stolen from me
the hours of sleep that the nights have stolen from me
the hours of sleep that the nights have stolen from me

maybe the wrong path
is always the one that has conquered me
I already have the enigma deciphered
time goes by very slowly

I'm not looking for anything from anyone
luck is not enough for me but I always share it
I write verses with a full stop, new paragraph
because a full stop, no new paragraph implies reasons to keep going on
but don't worry I'm in charge here
water cleans everything and lately it's been raining a lot
I don't want to feel a single remorse anymore
the feeling that weighs me down the most is the one of remembering

someday I'll be alright I can assure you
feeling myself is enough to move forward
just like the foot that feels itself when walking
just like two lovers inside a cornfield
I write for myself and to reaffirm
that maybe someday this cigarette will go out just like that
and you won't understand because you didn't want to ask

don't feel bad for me anymore I've changed my skin
sometimes your memory even tastes like honey to me
I've been imagining what I want to be
and I'm just trying to be more cat than ever and run
and run and run and run and run
and run

I paint everything in pastel colors to believe
that someday tenderness will return to me
all that boredom and hurt have taken away from me
the hours of a wasted dream
I paint everything in pastel colors to believe
that someday tenderness will return to me
all that boredom and hurt have taken away from me
the hours of sleep that the nights have stolen from me

Saw a vision
Within my broken sleep
Looming shadows
Feels like they’re watching me
Pick up my baggage
Strap it onto my back
It’s been a long long road back home But I am coming for you
We will run
Faster than our lungs Living like we’re young Treading ground Chasing down the sun We’re lovers on the run
I won’t chase the past Cos these moments count
I pull you to my chest
Where our heart beats met
Once that fear taught me
Then became my god
But it’s been a long long road back home From the ghost shaped shadows
From the mist in the meadows
They’re chasing hard
I’m running faster
They’re chasing hard
I’m running faster
From the ghost shaped shadows, shadows, From the mist in the meadows

Now I find you hidden in my dreams
A secret place that just belong to us

Now I find you hidden in my dreams
A secret place that just belong to us

There’s no way out
You feel good
You feel nice
Now you fly
There’s no way out
You feel good
You feel nice
Now you fly

Alas, winter has passed;
Spring comes on fast;
May flowers bloom.
A new tune to call forth a day;
New love hail new way;
For us all.
Arise! Dab sleep from your eyes;
Make way for strange times;
Advance to the sky!
Gone frost on pane;
Tomorrow we regain;
Days will be long.
For who knows what tales will unfold;
To be free of cold;
And the long winter’s night.
Alas, winter has passed;
Spring comes on fast;
Spring comes on fast.
