Lost in Translation Vol. 2 REVEALED

Lost in Translation is back with the answer to this week's song!

It’s Friday, which means we’re back with the answer to Monday’s Lost in Translation.

The Translated Lyric

Here’s the lyric I provided:

How is my memory?

There was a glint in his eyes

He secretly stole a kiss from me

Take the time to coordinate meetings.

Say it's mine

We learn from understanding each other

Look how much we have grown

---

The Original Lyric

The original lyric, back translated to English after passing through half a dozen languages is:

How well I remember

The look that was in his eyes

Stealin' kisses from me on the sly

Takin' time to make time

Tellin' me that he's all mine

Learnin' from each other's knowin'

Lookin' to see how much we've grown

The Song

This is a tricky one. Despite knowing the song, I certainly don’t know it well enough to be able to name it from the original lyric. The lines are taken from the vocal bridge between the second and third rendition of “Son of a Preacher Man” by Dusty Springfield from her 1969 album Dusty in Memphis.

And here’s the music video, cued up at the start of this week’s mystery lyric:

• Would you have been able to name the song from the original lyrics?
