Begin the Beguine
Enchanting Echoes of Love: Begin the Beguine Reveals Timeless Romance
Lyrics
When they begin the beguine
Refers to the commencement of the beguine, a dance or a romantic encounter.
It brings back the sound of music so tender
Recalling the melodious and gentle nature of music associated with the beguine.
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
Elicits memories of a night filled with tropical magnificence and beauty.
It brings back a memory ever green
Evokes a memory that remains perpetually vibrant and fresh.
I'm with you once more, under the stars
Describing the feeling of being together under the stars.
And down by the shore, an orchestra's playing
By the shore, a live orchestra is playing music.
And even the palms seem to be swaying
Even the palm trees appear to move rhythmically in response to the music.
When they begin the beguine
Referring to the recurrence of the beguine, triggering emotions and memories.
To live it again is past all endeavor
Recreating past experiences seems impossible except when this particular tune deeply affects the heart.
Except when that tune clutches my heart
When the melody grips the heart intensely.
And there we are, swearing to love forever
Reflecting a moment when love is professed forever.
And promising never, never to part
Promising never to separate or depart from each other.
What moments divine, what rapture serene
Describing intensely beautiful and blissful moments.
'Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
Until happiness is disrupted by unforeseen events (clouds).
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
People regret the missed opportunity or moment.
I know but too well what they mean
Understanding the regretful sentiment expressed by others.
So don't let them begin the beguine
Advice not to relive the beguine and reignite past feelings.
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Suggesting that past intense love should stay as a subdued memory.
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
Comparing the past love to a dormant and distant desire remembered only.
When they begin the beguine
Reiterating the caution not to rekindle the emotions associated with the beguine.
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
Ironically suggesting the commencement of the beguine despite the advice given.
'Till the stars that were there before return above you
Wishing for a return to a previous romantic setting with stars above.
'Till you whisper to me once more, darling, I love you
Desiring to hear the words "I love you" once more.
And we suddenly know What heaven we're in
Realization of being in a state of bliss or ecstasy.
When they begin the beguine
Reiterating the impact of the beguine on feelings and emotions.
When they begin the beguine
Repeating the commencement of the beguine, closing the song.
