Begin the Beguine
Romantic Reverie: Rediscovering Love's Melody in 'Begin the Beguine'
Lyrics
When they begin the beguine
Commencement of the beguine, a dance or musical piece
It brings back the sound of music so tender
Elicits memories of soft, melodious music
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
Recalls a night of tropical beauty and grandeur
It brings back a memory ever green
Evokes a timeless and evergreen memory
I'm with you once more under the stars
Reunited under the stars with a romantic ambiance
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
An orchestra plays by the shore
And even the palms seem to be swaying
Nature seems to respond to the music
When they begin the beguine
A repetition of the beginning of the beguine
To live it again is past all endeavor
Reviving the past is a challenging task
Except when that tune clutches my heart
The tune grips the heart with intense emotions
And there we are, swearing to love forever
Revisiting promises of eternal love
And promising never, never to part
Commitment to never parting ways
What moments divine, what rapture serene
The joyous moments disrupted by challenges
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
Mentions the interference of clouds in joy
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
Regret for wasted opportunities
I know but too well what they mean
Understanding the pain of others who have lost chances
So don't let them begin the beguine
Advising against restarting the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Suggesting to let past love remain as a faint memory
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
Desiring to preserve the past without rekindling
When they begin the beguine
A repetition of the beginning of the beguine
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them play
Expressing a plea to restart the beguine
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Longing for the return of the stars and past moments
Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
Yearning to hear the words "Darling, I love you" again
Then we suddenly know what heaven we're in
Realization of being in a heavenly moment
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
A repetition of the beginning of the beguine
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
Repetition and emphasis on the restart of the beguine
When they begin the beguine
Final mention of the beginning of the beguine
