Dream by Lennon

Hey, Kev. le pousse is a baby stroller with a rattan basket. As to bowakawa, I have no clue. Can you guess at the meaning by looking at the context of the song?

Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me

Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

Two spirits dancing so strange

Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa
Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa
Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa

Dream, dream away
Magic in the air, was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say, what more can I say?

On a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding

Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa
Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa
Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa

Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa
Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa
Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa
Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa
Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa
Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa
Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa
Ah! bawakawa poussa, poussa



Apparently, Lennon heard these sounds in a dream he had about Yoko. They mean nothing, in any language.

whoa, Ceili. That be eerie.

Letty,

The connection could be that at the time Johns son Sean had just been born (thereabouts) baby stroller?? could be.

Ceili,

I find it difficult to believe that these words are purely made up.

Lennon, whilst with Macca, wrote some of the greatest songs of the twentieth century, but together they also wrote some of the most meaningless tripe as well, but if you look at lennons work as a solo artist his songs were all easy to understand, and if you were going to "make up" words just to fill a space where would you get "Ah bowakawa pousse pousse" from????? I dont think they were just meaningless jumbles of letters.

The beatles wrote a lot of nonsense. I wouldn't put it above Lennon to continue the trend. Especially when his new partner could do nothing but screech.

She could screech? I had no idea her talent stretched to screeching, I must have missed that.
