Midnight Sun lyrics Zara Larsson
Original Lyrics
English
[Verse 1]
No nightmares when you can still see the light
Can't find me, I'm not in the city tonight
I like your playlist, boy, turn it up a little louder
Road's empty, so you drive a little faster
Ain't taken nothing tonight, but I'm feeling so high
[Pre-Chorus]
Show my tan lines, low-rise, rooftop down
It's golden hour all the time
[Chorus]
It's the midnight sun-kissed skin under the red sky
Layin' on your chest like this
Hold me like the pebbles in your hand, initials in the sand, yeah
Summer isn't over yet
Skinny-dipping with your heart out, it's my favorite part now
We ain't gotta tell no one
A never-ending midnight sun
[Post-Chorus]
A never-ending midnight sun
[Verse 2]
Connected, I'm so in touch with it all (Yeah, yeah)
Feel protected by the moon and the stars
I'm walking barefoot, feel the grass in between my toes
Bombshell, wind in my hair, baby, let it blow, yeah
It's been a while since I cried over something so nice (So nice)
[Pre-Chorus]
Show my tan lines, low-rise, rooftop down
It's golden hour all the time (All the time)
[Chorus]
It's the midnight sun-kissed skin under the red sky
Layin' on your chest like this (Ah)
Hold me like the pebbles in your hand, initials in the sand, yeah
Summer isn't over yet
Skinny-dipping with your heart out, it's my favorite part now
We ain't gotta tell no one (Shh)
A never-ending midnight sun
[Post-Chorus]
A never-ending midnight sun
(A never-ending midnight sun)
A never-ending midnight sun
No nightmares when you can still see the light
Can't find me, I'm not in the city tonight
I like your playlist, boy, turn it up a little louder
Road's empty, so you drive a little faster
Ain't taken nothing tonight, but I'm feeling so high
[Pre-Chorus]
Show my tan lines, low-rise, rooftop down
It's golden hour all the time
[Chorus]
It's the midnight sun-kissed skin under the red sky
Layin' on your chest like this
Hold me like the pebbles in your hand, initials in the sand, yeah
Summer isn't over yet
Skinny-dipping with your heart out, it's my favorite part now
We ain't gotta tell no one
A never-ending midnight sun
[Post-Chorus]
A never-ending midnight sun
[Verse 2]
Connected, I'm so in touch with it all (Yeah, yeah)

Translation
Normal
[Verso 1]
No hay pesadillas cuando aún puedes ver la luz
No me encuentres, no estoy en la ciudad esta noche
Me gusta tu playlist, chico, sube el volumen un poco más
La carretera está vacía, así que conduces un poco más rápido
No he tomado nada esta noche, pero me siento tan eufórica
[Pre-Coro]
Muestra mis líneas de bronceado, pantalones bajos, techo abajo
Es la hora dorada todo el tiempo
[Coro]
Es la piel besada por el sol de medianoche bajo el cielo rojo
Recostada en tu pecho así
Abrázame como las piedras en tu mano, iniciales en la arena, sí
El verano aún no ha terminado
Bañándonos desnudos con el corazón al descubierto, es mi parte favorita ahora
No tenemos que contárselo a nadie
Un sol de medianoche interminable
[Post-Coro]
Un sol de medianoche interminable
[Verso 2]
Conectada, estoy tan en sintonía con todo (Sí, sí)
Me siento protegida por la luna y las estrellas
Camino descalza, siento la hierba entre mis dedos
Bomba, el viento en mi cabello, cariño, déjalo soplar, sí
Ha pasado un tiempo desde que lloré por algo tan lindo (Tan lindo)
[Pre-Coro]
Muestra mis líneas de bronceado, pantalones bajos, techo abajo
Es la hora dorada todo el tiempo (Todo el tiempo)
[Coro]
Es la piel besada por el sol de medianoche bajo el cielo rojo
Recostada en tu pecho así (Ah)
Abrázame como las piedras en tu mano, iniciales en la arena, sí
El verano aún no ha terminado
Bañándonos desnudos con el corazón al descubierto, es mi parte favorita ahora
No tenemos que contárselo a nadie (Shh)
Un sol de medianoche interminable
