Suzanne Vega - Daniella - Текст песни

Daniella, she sits by the tree in the playground

Sometimes we go there and the children all play

But no one can tell me just where is daniella

When she looks in the distance that way

Daniella, your hair is growing wild like a jungle

Like a garden of ivy thats been blown by the wind

In the morning we brush it and tie it with a ribbon

And in the evening it has flown loose again

In the afternoon when the day seems forever

And the night feels like never then she will sigh

But no one can tell me just where is daniella

When her thoughts wander off to the sky

Ilanas her friend, she runs fast like a squirrel

She has big brown eyes and sometimes she cries

But she stops very soon and they both play together

Making castles and strawberry pies

And sometimes daniella believes shes a sparrow

She sits by the window and eats sunflower seeds

She watches the rain and the birds on the rooftops

Often I wonder just what she sees

In the afternoon when the day seems forever

And the night feels like never then she will sigh

Oh no one can tell me just where is daniella

When her thoughts wander off to the sky

(1976)
