The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Tus labios de seda son la luz de mi condena
Nena, te quiero besar
No puedo evitarlo, tengo que encontrarlos
Nena, te salgo a buscar
Tus labios de seda en lo bajo se me enredan
Y empañan los vidrios de mi corazón
Pintados de rojo, son el fuego que recojo
Y que a mi mente hacen volar
Tus labios de seda son la luz de mi condena
Nena, te quiero besar
Quiebra la cintura, en la calle tu figura
Nena, te quiero probar
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena, dámelo
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena
Cuando veo el perfume en tus ojos
Y mi boca te besa la piel
Melodías derramas sobre mi sien
Y la abeja se ahoga en la miel
Y el motor suena diferente
Melodías derramas sobre mi sien
Camino solo, no tengo ganas
De llegar al poste del 53
Barrio de flores, si tus colores
Pudieran darle a mi boca una sonrisa otra vez
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena, dámelo
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena, dámelo
Cuando veo mi boca en tu piel
Y me llevo tu risa en la mente
Y amanece
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás, ah
Nena, te quiero besar
No puedo evitarlo, tengo que encontrarlos
Nena, te salgo a buscar
Tus labios de seda en lo bajo se me enredan
Y empañan los vidrios de mi corazón
Pintados de rojo, son el fuego que recojo
Y que a mi mente hacen volar
Tus labios de seda son la luz de mi condena
Nena, te quiero besar
Quiebra la cintura, en la calle tu figura
Nena, te quiero probar
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena, dámelo
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena
Cuando veo el perfume en tus ojos
Y mi boca te besa la piel
Melodías derramas sobre mi sien
Y la abeja se ahoga en la miel
Y el motor suena diferente
Melodías derramas sobre mi sien
Camino solo, no tengo ganas
De llegar al poste del 53
Barrio de flores, si tus colores
Pudieran darle a mi boca una sonrisa otra vez
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena, dámelo
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena
Dame, te digo, nena, dámelo
Cuando veo mi boca en tu piel
Y me llevo tu risa en la mente
Y amanece
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás
Tus labios de seda, no quiero perderlos jamás, ah

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
