Hia Leah - lyrics and discussion


Recommended Posts

Your misheard lyrics made me giggle Anne! :teehee:

 

Your English is so good but I guess it's hard when you're listening to a song on a video like that. I can never make heads or tails of the French stuff. :aah:

Well the sound on my netbook is awful and I was in a moving camping car as an excuse and my husband kept talking to me :aah: , how annoying :lmfao:

I did a better job with Good Gone Girl, even if I didn't get all of it either but I had it in a MP3 player and with good earphones :aah:

But when there's noise around I'm really bad at hearing...even when Mika was singing Elle Me Dit I had problems with it too :doh:

I hope I get my son's laptop when he changes his because the sound is much better on it :thumb_yello:

" Hia Leah….these are 2 words in arabic. Hia means “she” and Leah means “Mine”.

So the song is called she’s mine if it has the purpose of arabic meaning!"

 

Oh how sweet :wub2::wub2::wub2::wub2:

Thanks a lot Sookiee :huglove:

My hearing must be going bad... someone able to transcribe the 'added lyrics'?

 

You mean his little ad libs starting at around 2:13?

 

He says:

 

Maybe a little bit too hip for me. (But I love you that's all.)

 

Maybe a little bit too much gourmet coffee for me. (I love you that's all.)

 

But the boy behind the coffee stand next door gave me a free tea, so I love you, that's all.

 

I don't often get free tea. (That's all.)

 

Oh Williamsburg, I love you, that's all.

 

Oh, I love you. That's all.

 

Oh W burg, I love you, that's all.

 

Oh Brooklyn, I want to eat you. That's all.

 

New York City, I want to have you. That's all.

have these lyrics Hia Leah from Philadelphia (thanks to Lemontine) been posted here yet?

Philadelphia, I don't wanna leave

oh, nice to see ya, I don't wanna leave

It's a little hot here for me today

I ate a cheese steak before coming on stage today

I think that's why it showed down my brain a little bit

I met a mad man on the train today

He drank two vodka's and an orange juice and kept whistling to himself

And I looked at him and I thought 'that could be me'

Philadelphia, oh

Philadelphia, woah

Philadelphia, *whistle*

Philadelphia, tonight I love you that's all

Philadelphia, oh, I love you that's all

Philadelphia, I always loved you that's all

Oh, I'll always love you that's all

:wub2: so happy i got to see this song live

 

 

I really hope this song is on the new album, i'm dying to know what the lyrics for the section he kept changing will be

Oh, I remember that. And he kept whistling after that, didn't he? Wish we had video of that night, too. *sigh*

I had a chat with a friend about this song a while ago, and we noticed that it could be about a place as well as about a person - or even, the people in the audience. I think he's playing with this double meaning, you can interpret it either way.

 

It's funny, because it reminds me of when I was translating for Mika on stage in Bolzano and he wanted me to translate "Bolzano you are nice!" and I wasn't sure for a moment whether to translate it to address it to the audience or to the city - not sure anymore what exactly I was thinking, but my brain went "wtf does he want to say with that?!" :lmfao: ... it's clever to make a song out of this and add the double meaning in the lyrics from the beginning to the end.

 

I'm still a bit sad that I never got to hear Hialeah live, I like it a lot. :wub2:
