Oh My Lady

Xavier Naidoo · Telegramm Fuer X [2005]

It was cold but she was lovely

I was told that she would never love me (yeah-yeah)

But still I hoped, the love I felt it could be trusted

So my case soon came to justice

I found out they had taken my rights long ago

What they gave in return wasn't nearly so

But how could I've known, never was I shown,

little had I grown, inside I was torn

But her life's my concern

I long have ignored the fact that I love you but I can't anymore



Chorus

Oh my lady, gone for a year,

She told me maybe, that once she could stay here with me,

Oh she's alive in my heart, in my mind, in my soul (she)

There's a glow in my heart, in my mind, in my soul

There's a glow, there's a glow, there's a glow,

there's a glow - there's a glow



Where, my lady, are you now

A love so sacred, still not allowed

Life is hard, sometimes life can be dreadfull

And this life, I guess is more than a handfull

In this war, we cannot use weapons (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

And in this war, we can only learn lessons (ohh ohh)

They had taken unripe fruits from the tree and

I learned my lesson when they gave them to me

More could I see clouds under me

I saw wars upon land I saw wars under sea



Chorus

Oh my lady, you're gone for a year

She told me maybe once she should stay here with me

Oh she's alive in my heart (in my heart), in my mind (in my mind),

in my soul (in my soul)

there's a light in my heart, in my mind, in my soul

Oh there's a glow, there's a glow, there's a glow, there's a glow

Oh theres a glow

Oh my lady you're gone for a year,

Oh she told...

Oh My Lady

Xavier Naidoo's 'Oh My Lady' stands as a defining track from his 2005 album 'Telegramm Fuer X,' showcasing his mastery of the Eurodance genre. The song blends upbeat electronic rhythms with Naidoo's signature smooth vocal delivery, creating a sound that became a staple of mid-2000s club culture across Europe. Released during a period where he was solidifying his status as a leading figure in the German-language pop scene, the recording exemplifies the fusion of traditional pop sensibilities with modern dance beats. Its enduring appeal lies in its infectious energy and the way it captures the optimism of its era, making it a quintessential example of Naidoo's work that bridges the gap between mainstream radio hits and club anthems.
