Take Me Back To Hollywood

Kenneth Gärdestad

Lyrics Translation

[Intro: Women, Men & Both]
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah,
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah

[Verse 1]
It was a black night, cat night, hell of a night
To be at home alone
I headed for a singles bar
Planned to get stoned

[Verse 2]
A sweet lady smiled, high on a stool, lookin' blue
Drinkin' wine
I asked for the time
She looked at me, I read her life in her eyes
And she said

[Chorus]
Take me back to Hollywood
That's where dreams come true
Show me all the magic
I used to know
Take me back to Hollywood
Let a star shine through
Dance me back to hеaven
With you

[Interlude: Women & Men & Women]
Ooh-Ah, ooh-ah

[Verse 3]
She wore a pink hat, shе had eyes of a cat
They lied about her age
I know I'd seen her face somewhere
High on a stage

[Verse 4]
She lit up a king-size cigarette, slowly let
Out the smoke
Gave me her coat
Sat by my side in silk and lace, full of grace
When she said

[Chorus]
Take me back to Hollywood
That's where dreams come true
Show me all the magic
I used to know
Take me back to Hollywood
Let a star shine through
Dance me back to heaven
With you

[Bridge]
She gave me an old, so outta sight, black and white
Photograph
Started to laugh
Paid for the drinks an' taxi fare, brushed her hair
Then she said

[Chorus]
Take me back to Hollywood
That's where dreams come true
Show me all the magic
I used to know
Take me back to Hollywood
Let a star shine through
Dance me back to heaven
With you

[Intro: Women, Men & Both]
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah,
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah

[Verse 1]
It was a black night, cat night, hell of a night

Planned to get stoned

A sweet lady smiled, high on a stool, lookin' blue
Drinkin' wine
I asked for the time
She looked at me, I read her life in her eyes
And she said

[Chorus]
Take me back to Hollywood
That's where dreams come true
Show me all the magic
I used to know
Take me back to Hollywood
Let a star shine through
Dance me back to hеaven
With you

[Vers 1]
Det var en svart natt, kall natt, tusan till natt
Jag hade trånga skor
Det regna' hela da'n så min keps blev för stor
Jag stannade till vid ett café och fick se Fred Astaire
I kvällens repris
Dansa' omkring bland nakna ben
Klädd som en miljonär

[Refräng]
Chapeau-claque och Cadillac
Blanka skor och frack
Har jag sett i filmer från Hollywood
Chapeau-claque och Cadillac
Tjack med nagellack
Det är bra för killar i frack

[Vers 2]
Jag kom i säng sent, hem sent, tusan så sent
Och somna med en gång
Jag drömde att jag sjöng en ny Hollywood sång
Jag dansade runt som Fred Astaire
På en skär Broadway-scen, jag gjorde succé
Tills jag blev väckt av telefon
Mitt i en snygg entré

[Refräng]
Chapeau-claque och Cadillac
Tjack med nagellack
Det är bra för killar i frack

[Vers 2]
Jag kom i säng sent, hem sent, tusan så sent
Och somna med en gång
Jag drömde att jag sjöng en ny Hollywood sång

[Refräng]
Chapeau-claque och Cadillac
Blanka skor och frack
Har jag sett i filmer från Hollywood
Chapeau-claque och Cadillac
Tjack med nagellack
Det är bra för killar i frack
