Speak Low
Whispers of Love: Unveiling the Ephemeral Beauty in 'Speak Low'
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Speak softly when expressing love.
Our summer day withers away
Our enjoyable summer day is fading away.
Too soon, too soon.
It's ending too quickly, earlier than expected.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Continue to speak softly in matters of love.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Our moment together is fleeting, like ships drifting apart.
We're swept apart too soon.
We are separated prematurely.
Speak low, darling speak low,
Speak softly, my dear, speak softly.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Love is a fragile spark easily lost in the darkness.
Too soon, too soon,
It ends too quickly, before its time.
I feel wherever I go
Expressing a sense of displacement or uncertainty in one's travels.
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
Feeling that the future is imminent and always arriving too soon.
And always too soon.
Tomorrow comes too quickly and consistently.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Time is portrayed as ancient, contrasting with the brevity of love.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Love is described as precious (gold), but time steals it away.
We're late darling, we're late,
A sense of lateness or regret is expressed.
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
The end is inevitable, symbolized by the descending curtain.
Too soon, too soon,
Emphasizing the untimely conclusion of events.
I wait darling, I wait
Expressing anticipation and longing, waiting for something.
Will you speak low to me,
The plea to continue speaking softly.
Speak love to me and soon.
The request to express love quietly and promptly.
