Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Speak softly and with restraint when expressing love.
Our summer day withers away
Our enjoyable summer day is fading away.
Too soon, too soon.
It is ending too quickly, sooner than desired.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Continue to express love in a subdued manner.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Our special moment is fleeting, like ships drifting apart.
We're swept apart too soon.
We are separated abruptly and prematurely.
Speak low, darling speak low,
Continue speaking softly, my dear.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Love is a fleeting spark easily lost in the darkness.
Too soon, too soon,
It ends too soon, before it can fully develop.
I feel wherever I go
Expressing a sense of awareness wherever one goes.
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
The feeling that the future is imminent, always arriving too soon.
And always too soon.
Tomorrow is always arriving prematurely.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Time is portrayed as ancient, while love is described as brief.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Love is valuable and pure, but time steals it away.
We're late darling, we're late,
Expressing regret for being late or delayed.
The curtain descends, everything ends
Symbolizing the end of everything as the curtain descends.
Too soon, too soon,
Things are concluding sooner than expected.
I wait darling, I wait
Expressing patience while waiting, but time is running out.
Will you speak low to me,
A plea to continue expressing love in a subdued manner.
Speak love to me and soon.
Asking for the expression of love to come soon.
