Stardust
Ethereal Melancholy: Stardust's Tale of Love and Longing
Lyrics
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
The time of evening characterized by a purplish hue in the sky.
Steals across the meadows of my heart
A metaphorical description of the speaker's emotions, suggesting a sense of tranquility disrupted by the approach of darkness or sadness.
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Refers to the stars rising high in the sky, symbolizing separation and distance.
Always reminding me that we're apart
The stars constantly remind the speaker of being separated from their loved one.
You wander down the lane and far away
The loved one walks away, leaving behind a lasting memory or impression.
Leaving me a song that will not die
The departed lover leaves behind a song that holds significant emotional value.
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
Love has transformed into a nostalgic memory represented by stardust, implying its beauty but also its intangibility and transience.
The music of the years gone by.
The past, represented by music, holds the essence of past experiences and emotions.
Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
Contemplation about how the speaker passes their solitary nights.
The lonely nights
The speaker spends their nights alone.
Dreaming of a song
Imagining or remembering a particular song.
The melody
The tune of the song persists in the speaker's thoughts or daydreams.
Haunts my reverie
The song continues to occupy the speaker's thoughts and memories.
And I am once again with you
The song transports the speaker back to a time when they were with their beloved.
When our love was new
Reflecting on the early stage of their love, filled with passion and inspiration.
And each kiss an inspiration
Each kiss during that time felt like a source of motivation or creative influence.
But that was long ago
Emphasizing the temporal distance from that romantic period, suggesting it is in the past.
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
The speaker finds solace and comfort in the nostalgic feelings evoked by the song.
Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright
The speaker envisions being with the loved one in a beautiful setting illuminated by stars.
You are in my arms
Imagining holding the beloved in an embrace under the starlit sky.
The nightingale
A symbol of nature, contributing to the romantic ambiance of the moment.
Tells his fairytale
The nightingale's song narrates a fairy tale of an idyllic place where love thrived.
Of paradise, where roses grew
A paradise where beautiful things, like roses, blossomed.
Though I dream in vain
The speaker's dreams of reuniting with the beloved are unfulfilled.
In my heart it will remain
Despite the unattainability of their reunion, the memory remains etched in the speaker's heart.
My stardust melody
The cherished melody that encapsulates the memories of love.
The memory of love's refrain.
A recollection of the beautiful tune that represents the essence of love.
