Description
A sunny mirage, smoothly flowing into a half-sleep. Time does not rush in it, ships sail to distant countries, and the endless “never a shadow of sadness” sounds in your head. Everything is covered in a soft golden light, like on old film, where every frame is the same and yet slightly different.
There is something hypnotic about this melody: it swirls, soothes, and seems to promise that even the strangest journeys will end with a smile.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Golden brown texture, like sun
Lays me down, with my mind, she runs
Throughout the night, no need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown
Every time, just like the last
On her ship, tied to the mast
To distant lands, takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown
Golden brown, finer temptress
Through the ages, she's heading west
From far away, stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown
Na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na
Never a frown (never a frown, never a frown)
With golden brown (with golden brown)
Never a frown (never a frown, never a frown)
With golden brown (with golden brown)
Never a frown (never a frown, never a frown)
With golden brown (with golden brown)
Never a frown (never a frown, never a frown)
With golden brown (with golden brown)
Never a frown (never a frown, never a -)
