- Dolphin Lyrics / with translationsHow beautiful do the words have 2 be
Before they conquer every heart?
How will U know if I'm even in the right key
If U make me stop before I start?
If I came back as a dolphin
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin
Why does my brother have 2 go hungry
When U told him there was food 4 all?
This is the man that stands next 2 the man
That stands 2 catch U when U fall (Oh!)
If I came back as a dolphin
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin
If I'm under water, will U find me? (Find me [x4])
Will U shine a light and try 2 guide me?
It's happened before, I've knocked on your door
But U wouldn't let me in
How beautiful do the words have 2 be
Before they conquer every heart? (Oh!)
If I came back as a dolphin
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
Come back in the end as a dolphin (Oh)
(I'll come back, baby)
(Let me in, let me in) As a dolphin
(Be my friend) Dolphin
(Yeah, yeah)
Dolphin
As a dolphin
As a dolphin
As a dolphin
Before they conquer every heart?
How will U know if I'm even in the right key
If U make me stop before I start?
If I came back as a dolphin
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin
Why does my brother have 2 go hungry
When U told him there was food 4 all?
This is the man that stands next 2 the man
That stands 2 catch U when U fall (Oh!)
If I came back as a dolphin
Would U listen 2 me then?

✔️

When we try to understand the message behind it, Prince's 'Dolphin' is a touching request for understanding and equality that presents the dolphin as a symbol of strength and the fight against social limitations. The listeners are taken by the hand and asked to step outside the boundaries set by the society and open their hearts to humanity and love. Dolphin lyrics chiefly focus on empowerment, social commentary, reflection, freedom, and anger. However, at the same time, the song points out the necessity of being strong against the conformity, the quest for understanding and connection, and social injustice. The lyrics talk about resistance and social commentary which might be more appropriate for a mature audience. The language and imagery, although not explicit, still manage to convey very powerful emotional and social messages that probably younger audiences will need parental help to digest.
