Wild Is the Wind
Embracing the Untamed: Love's Breath in Barbra Streisand's 'Wild Is the Wind'
Lyrics
Love me, love me, say you do
Expressing a desire for love and affirmation from the partner.
Let me fly away with you
Desiring to escape with the partner, seeking a journey together.
For my love is like the wind
Comparing the intensity of the singer's love to the unpredictable nature of the wind.
And wild is the wind
Emphasizing the untamed and unpredictable quality of the singer's love.
Give me more than one caress
Requesting more affectionate gestures from the partner.
Satisfy this hungriness
Expressing a longing to be emotionally fulfilled and satisfied.
Let the wind blow through your heart
Encouraging the partner to be open and vulnerable in the relationship.
For wild is the wind
Reiterating the theme of the singer's love being wild and untamed.
You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins
Describing the sensory experience of the partner's touch, evoking a romantic atmosphere.
You kiss me, and with your kiss the world begins
Highlighting the transformative power of the partner's kiss, symbolizing the start of a new world.
You're Spring to me, all things to me
Conveying the partner's significance as a source of vitality and renewal.
You're life itself
Affirming the partner's centrality, portraying them as essential to the singer's existence.
Like a leaf clings to a tree
Using the metaphor of a leaf clinging to a tree to express the singer's desire for emotional attachment.
Oh, my darling, cling to me
Reinforcing the plea for emotional connection, asking the partner to cling to the singer.
For we're creatures of the wind
Describing the lovers as beings influenced and shaped by the unpredictable nature of love.
And wild is the wind, the wind
Reiterating the idea that the love shared is untamed and unpredictable like the wind.
Wild is my love for you
Declaring the passionate and unrestrained nature of the singer's love for the partner.
