Begin the Beguine
Eternal Romance: Rediscovering Love through Beguine Melodies
Lyrics
When they begin the beguine
Initiating the beguine, starting a romantic dance or melody.
It brings back the sound of music so tender
Evokes memories of gentle, melodious music.
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
Recalls a night filled with tropical splendor, suggesting a romantic setting.
It brings back a memory ever green
Brings back an enduring and cherished memory.
I'm with you once more under the stars
Reuniting under the stars with a romantic ambiance.
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
An orchestra plays by the shore, enhancing the romantic atmosphere.
And even the palms seem to be swaying
The surroundings, even the palms, seem to respond to the music.
When they begin the beguine
Reiterating the enchantment when the beguine starts.
To live it again is past all endeavor
Reliving past moments is almost impossible, except when the tune stirs deep emotions.
Except when that tune clutches my heart
The power of the tune captures the speaker's heart.
And there we are, swearing to love forever
Promising eternal love during those captured moments.
And promising never, never to part
Commitment to never part, expressing enduring love.
What moments divine, what rapture serene
Describing the divine and serene moments experienced.
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
Clouds symbolize challenges disrupting the joy.
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
People regret missed opportunities when they hear the tune.
I know but too well what they mean
The speaker empathizes with those who regret missed chances.
So don't let them begin the beguine
Cautioning against restarting the beguine to avoid reliving heartaches.
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Advising to let the past love remain a memory, not rekindling the fire.
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
Suggesting to let the desire for the past love rest in peace.
When they begin the beguine
Reiterating the caution against starting the beguine again.
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them play
An emotional plea to start the beguine, hoping for a rekindling of love.
Till the stars that were there before return above you
A wish for the return of the stars and the romantic atmosphere.
Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
Anticipation of hearing the words "Darling, I love you" once more.
Then we suddenly know what heaven we're in
The realization of being in a heavenly moment when the beguine starts.
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
Repetition emphasizing the start of the beguine and the ensuing emotions.
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
Repeating the plea to begin the beguine, emphasizing its importance.
When they begin the beguine
Final repetition, underscoring the significance of starting the beguine.
