Vampire Weekend - Bambina Lyrics






No time to discuss it
Can't speak when the waves
Reach our house upon the dunes

Time cannot be trusted
When the police come
They always come too soon

Life felt like heaven today
Like a foreign car thoughWe are American-made

I thought I'd probably stay
But before I know, I know

My Christian heart
Cannot withstand
The thundering arena

I'll see you when
The violence ends

For now, ciao ciao
Bambina

No signs of injustice
No signs but the flames that are filling up the room

But fire cannot be trusted

When the engines come
They always come too soon

  1. I.... P....

    Congrats on winning Best Alternative Music Album at the GRAMMYS, Vampire Weekend!

  3. M.... B....

    https://youtu.be/LtIayvwrlOk?t=1755 this is it live, this is the only song ive been unimpressed live... everything else is fire dont get me wrong

  4. l.... t....

    The best song to day one fans.
    The worst song on THIS record, only because it is the least inspired song.
    Not bad, but it's short for a reason.

  5. E.... G....

    Hello my dudes, can someone tell me what this song is about ?

  6. R.... B....

    My Buddhist heart
    Cannot withstand
    The thundering arena

  7. T.... B....

    Keeley Fischer was born on August 12, 1997.

  8. d.... r....

    This song is so darn catchy I can't help it. God.

  9. E.... J....

    Algun fan de Perú?

  10. J.... M....

    I was not feeling this new album, and then I was hit with this one minute and fourty four second masterpiece

  11. M.... P....

    Favorite song on FOTB...

  12. S.... J....

    103 seconds of music on fire

  13. M.... ....

    I loveeeee how they did the police siren in the first verse.
    This is one of my top 3 songs from the album x)

  14. M.... S....

    what a fantastic song!! So genius, so great! Puts me in a fantastic mood

  15. W.... P....

    I love this song but why is it above freaking A Punk on top tracks??? Is it really that famous????

  16. D.... R....

    Bye Bye Baby Girl

  17. A.... A....

    Bambina gone too soon.

  18. L.... C....

    how am i this late for this???!!

  19. A.... D....

    çok iyi

  20. A.... E....

    Someone knows more songs like this?

  21. B.... G....

    This album helped me to realize, I never liked Vampire Weekend, I liked Rostam (Batmanglij) - without hearing this extremely disappointing production by Ezra Koenig and his Vampire Weekend, I never would have found the seemingly endless list of heat that Rostam has continued to produce, from his OG works as Discovery, his Solo work, and fire collaboration with artists like Hamilton Leithauser.

    So Thanks Ezra and “Vampire Weekend” for showing your true colors on FOTB.

    B.... G....

    Brian Garoutte he worked on this album a bit

  22. d.... v....

    One minute and forty-three seconds is too short !

  23. S.... V....

    I'm sorry am I on crack or does this song sound exactly like Domino by Van Morrison??

  24. C.... D....

    primeiro br aqui fdp

  25. I.... a....

    I was listening to this and my bro called it faggot music. Is this true? Pls help

  26. N.... ....

    that autotune part puke

  27. L.... H....

    Q perfeita..

  28. S.... ....

    This song already holds a special place in my heart. After my first bad breakup I played this song on repeat and it helped me calm down through the anxiety and panic attacks. Whenever I listen to this, it makes me sad and melancholy but calm never the less. I'm back on my feet but whenever I'm getting overwhelmed, I play this and it never fails to ground me. Thank you Vampire weekend for giving me a way to cope

  29. I.... D....

    This may be the first time I’ve heard VW use Autotune. It’s really weird.

    I.... D....

    Technically Caliornia English used autotune.
    Also I think it still matched their sound pretty well, in their classic fun and kind of weird style

  30. K.... K....

    Terrible.

  31. P.... B....

    la wea mala, es como un trapp

  32. A.... i....

    Playing this on repeat

  33. M.... D....

    It sounds good but, what's he even saying?

  34. J.... S....

    This might be my favorite.

  35. L.... M....

    so good yet so short ):

  36. C.... V....

    Good band until this stupid lyrics

  37. I.... ....

    Speed in x1.25.

  38. T.... M....

    Bambina e Unbearably White são as melhores desse álbum

  39. A.... C....

    Ya me tiene harto los anuncios de Netflix pa alv

  40. R.... ....

    GAAAAAAAAY

  41. c.... c....

    We all demand an extended versión of this song.

  42. G.... G....

    I need 4 minutes of this...

  43. U.... 3....

    YOOOOO WHY DOES THIS SLAP SO HARD

  44. m.... g....

    que xuxa sus voces se escuchan como la maldita conchetumare, tienen autotune hasta pa los peos malditos conchetumares :)

  45. J.... G....

    this song came on in my youtube mix and i thought it was an ad before i looked at the screen

  46. N.... C....

  48. L.... H....

  49. U.... ....

  50. r.... ....

    They opened with this one in Dallas, and now I’m in love with all their music

  51. J.... F....

    Nice, like the old stuff, but better <3

  52. n.... ....

    can i just say vw are fucking GENIUSES

  53. W.... P....

    Such a happy song about commiting mass felony

  54. E.... ....

    I was at the concert in Milan yesterday, and let me tell you, that "ciao ciao bambina" was the loudest I've ever heard a crowd scream a t a concert lol.
    they even sang it twice in a row! It was amazing!

    E.... ....

    So even they know the song is half the length it should be.

  55. s.... p....

    Drinkin roners on the beach : )

  56. F.... O....

    who the FUCK disliked this

  57. A.... W....

    Is the "Uuuuuuuh to an extent, yeah" not Julian Casablancas!? I can't remember which interview of his it's from.

  58. F.... N....

    I REALLY wanted the 2nd verse to say "when the engines come they always go vroom vroom"

    F.... N....

    And then the rest of the song is just musical car noises 😂

  59. m.... ....

    Gives me goosebumps every time.

  60. r.... ....

    Missed opportunity... should have extended version.

  61. r.... ....

    Best song

  62. W.... P....

    Percussion of Vampire Weekend + Instruments of Contra + Upbeat tone of Modern Vampires

    Edit- After thinking about this for a while, I think the instrumentation is pretty distinguishably FOTB-y.

  63. R.... M....

    Need this big and long

  64. C.... ....

    Why is this song so cute

  65. A.... C....

    El Fusilado - Chumbawumba?

  66. W.... J....

    Alguém do Brasil 08/06/2019

  67. W.... J....

    🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Brazil

  68. W.... J....

  69. M.... ....

    this song auto plays in my head since the album came out.

  70. A.... M....

    PETITION REQUESTING VW TO MAKE THE SONG LONGER:
    http://chng.it/GrSGG6Kz

  71. A.... M....

    THE BEST FUCKING SONG OUT OF THE ALBUM, SOMEONE CREATE A PETITION TO MAKE THIS SONG LONGER

  72. G.... R....

    Wish y'all were playing like 2 days later in Seattle and I 100% would have gotten to go.

  73. n.... ....

    This is the best song on the album

  74. T.... J....

    You may only listen to this album if you drink horchata in December

  75. M.... B....

    Uh, to an extent, yeah

  76. W.... P....

    Sounds like a mix of Contra and Modern Vampires of the City

  77. E.... M....

    I get a very big “Cecilia” vibe from this. Amazing

  78. b.... ....

    What a bop!!!

  79. h.... ....

    Obsessed with that Buckingham-esque guitar riff at 0:19

  80. K.... K....

    YouTube will need to replace their replay button pretty soon. It's getting worn out.

  81. R.... M....

    When the police come they always come too soon

  82. J.... F....

    Thanks to my girlfriend who showed me this😍

  83. A.... B....

    Why so short ;)

  84. W.... W....

    Why does this song give me nostalgia?

  85. R.... B....

    WHY IS THIS SONG ONLY 1:44??? ITS LIKE THE BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM!

  86. G.... C....

    This is too good to be such a short song!!

  87. M.... A....

    Hearing contra influences here

  88. M.... S....

    This one and How Long? Are the best

    M.... S....

    Thought I was the only one, both songs are f##king great

  89. J.... ....

    Feels like a really good Contra b-side

  90. w.... ....

    the melody totally reminds me of Weezer

  91. D.... _....

    Que buena bulla oe!!

  92. V.... R....

    I can't remember the last time I felt proud of being Italian

  93. B.... 7....

    Got an instant John Frusciante solo vibe from the verses and guitar work on this. One of the best on the album, why so short!?

  94. c.... ....

    When your fav song from the album is also the shortest... omg :')

  95. D.... ....

    Es krim Campina!

  96. J.... D....

    Why is dis so short? No no no no

  97. S.... A....
