South Pacific - There Is Nothin' like A Dame [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Sailors, Seabees and Marines:]
We got sunlight on the sand
We got moonlight on the sea
We got mangoes and bananas
You can pick right off the tree
We got volleyball and ping-pong
And a lot of dandy games!
What ain't we got?
We ain't got dames!
We get packages from home
We get movies, we get shows
We get speeches from our skipper
And advice from Tokyo Rose
We get letters doused with perfume
We get dizzy from the smell!
What don't we get?
You know darn well!
We have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for
What we need is what there ain't no substitute for
There is nothin' like a dame
Nothin' in the world
There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame!
We feel restless, we feel blue
We feel lonely and in grief
We feel ev'ry kind of feelin'
But the feelin' of relief
We feel hungry as the wolf felt
When he met Red Hiding-hood
What don't we feel?
We don't feel good!
Lots of things in life are beautiful, but brother
There is one particular thing that is nothin' whatsoever
In any way, shape or form like any other
There is nothin' like a dame
Nothin' in the world
There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame!
Nothin' else was built the same
Nothin' in the world
As the soft and wavy frame
Like the silhouette of a dame!
There is absolutely nothin' like a frame of a dame
So suppose that dame and bride
Are completely free from flaws
Or as faithful as a bird dog
Or as kind as Santa Claus
It's a waste of time to worry
Over things that they have not
We're thankful for the things they got!
There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame!
There are no books like a dame
And nothin' looks like a dame
There are no drinks like a dame
And nothin' thinks like a dame
Nothin' acts like a dame
Or attracts like a dame
There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here
That can't be cured by pullin' him near
A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame!
