Lyrics meaning
The speaker describes seeing a young woman alone in the street and feeling both in love and lonely. The repeated refrain says that his love grows each day, giving the song an increasingly insistent, affectionate mood. A later verse brings in distance and memory: although separation is a concern, he keeps thinking of her.
The image of someone “alone in the street” suggests a chance encounter and may explain why the speaker feels drawn to her, though the lyrics do not say what happens between them. “The distance … no longer separates us” can mean that physical distance is becoming less important, or that he hopes to overcome it. The repeated words “Djobi Djoba” function mainly as a rhythmic refrain; the lyrics do not provide a clear meaning for them.
The song’s feelings are direct but not fully resolved. The speaker is confident enough to repeat that he loves her more each day, yet he also calls himself sad and alone. This contrast may show longing alongside affection, rather than a settled relationship. The mention of Paraguay is unclear in context, so it is best not to assume whether it names a place connected to the speaker, the woman, or simply belongs to the song’s playful phrasing.
