a mockingbird
on my porch railing
singing his desire ...
Put a spell on you
lingered in the summer air
Hap Rochelle
Chinese Translation (Traditional)
知更鳥
在我的門廊欄杆
高唱他的想望 ...
對你施法術
縈繞在夏天的空氣中
Chinese Translation (Simplified)
知更鸟
在我的门廊栏杆
高唱他的想望 ...
对你施法术
萦绕在夏天的空气中

ReplyDeleteNote: "A Spell On You" Lyrics
I put a spell on you, because you're mine
You better stop the thing that you're doin'
I said, "Watch out, I ain't lyin'", yeah
I ain't gonna take none of your, foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your, puttin' me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine, all right
I put a spell on you, because you're mine
You better stop, the thing that you're doin'
I said, "Watch out, I ain't lyin'", yeah
I ain't gonna take none of your, foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your, puttin' me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine, all right and I took it down
