Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers - Abdul and Cleopatra [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Richman

Abdul's not seen Cleopatra
It's been almost now a year
How I wonder where she's at-ra
And I wish the old girl were here
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra in the early morning sun
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one

You know, I love Cleopatra
I'm just grateful that I know that old girl
Even though I wonder where she's at-ra
As I wander through this world
And Abdul yearns for Cleopatra, Abdul takes her or takes none
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one

All right, Leroy, tell them...

Well, Cleopatra, take my patience and test it
Cleopatra, take your time as ye may
My time has been well-spent
I done cleaned up my tent
You'll like it when you see it someday

I will wait for Cleopatra
For I know my time must come
And I'm gettin' ready for wherever she'll be at-ra
Cause I'm gettin' stronger now and not so dumb
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra in the early desert sun
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one
