OPH lyrics

Post by Ilph »

I'm listening to OPH, and I'm suddenly struck by a thought - what do those lyrics in the chorus mean and what language are they? Can anyone help me out here?

dont say morning or dont say tomorrow if you dont mean it?
Reading through the lyrics now it could probably be either one and the meaning of the song wouldn't change. In fact, it could mean "tomorrow morning" and that would suit the song just fine.
