Coldplay - Orphans Lyrics






(I want to know when I can go)
(Back and get drunk with my friends?)

Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka

Rosaleem of the Damascene
Yes, she had eyes like the moon
Would have been on the silver screen
But for the missile monsoon
She went, "Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo"
Indigo go up to heaven today
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom
She say

I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know when I can go
Back and be young again

Baba would go where the flowers grow
Almond and peach trees in bloom
And he would know just when and what to sow
So golden and opportune
He went, "Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo"
Tulips the colour of honey today
It's true true, woo woo oo-oo-oo
With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom
He say

Oh I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know when I can go
Back and be young again (yeah)

Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
Cherubim seraphim soon
Come sailing us home by the light of the moon

Oh I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know when I can go
Back and feel home again

Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
I guess we'll be raised on our own then
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
I want to be with you 'til the world ends
I want to be with you 'til the whole world ends

Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom

    Here we have a direct reference to the bombings that happened in the Syrian capital, Damascus, in April 2018; it's when Britain, the US, and France attacked the city, leaving many dead children and adults; one of those is the character mentioned here; her name was Rosaleen.

    Coldplay seem to take more and more "inspiration" from other artists. After "Talk", clear homage paid to Kraftwerk, now comes this song: please listen to "Sole sole" by Eugenio Bennato... Also listen to the original song sung by all Stuttgart stadium while Napoli won there the UEFA Cup in 1989

  69. m.... h....

    Who disliked this song..."I want to know...."

    s.... t....

    Too late, I already have.

    s.... t....

    @Ena Lo generally the people who don't like politics in their music. I am honestly really disappointed in this cd, definitely glad I didn't buy it. It's fine to have a particular opinion/belief, but don't base your entire album on it. Course that's just my opinion

  72. S.... K....

    Come saling us home by the light of the noon.

  73. C.... C....

    ❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁😘😘😘

  74. R.... W....

    Wish i was young again...

  80. d.... 5....

    “I wanna be with you til the world ends, I wanna be with you til the whole world ends!” It’s enough to make a grown man cry...

  81. S.... a....

    This song is filled with so much adventure, freedom and sentimentalism. It makes me want to wander the Scottish highlands, climb Mt. Everest and enjoy the views from up above an Iceladic vulcano....
    It makes me wanna feel alive...

  82. L.... T....

    Mind me of mary Ann Ross wife

    I remember them from my childhood, when my brother showed me the scientist
    Back then i was kinda dancing to the scientist, now i'm crying to this
    And now i'm dancing to orphans, trying to forget about all the madness in my life

    At the end of the day, Coldplay was with me through every minute of my 'adult' life
