Begin the Beguine
Rediscover Romance: Begin the Beguine's Melodic Memory
Lyrics
When they begin the beguine
Commencement of the beguine triggers memories and emotions.
It brings back the sound of music so tender
Recalls the gentle and melodious nature of the music.
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
Evokes memories of a night filled with tropical beauty.
It brings back a memory ever green
Revives a timeless, evergreen memory.
I'm with you once more under the stars
Reunion under the stars with a romantic ambiance.
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
An orchestra playing by the shore enhances the setting.
And even the palms seem to be swaying
Nature seems responsive as even the palms appear to sway.
When they begin the beguine
The magic intensifies when the beguine starts.
To live it again is past all endeavor
Reliving the experience is a challenging but worthwhile pursuit.
Except when that tune clutches my heart
The emotional impact of the tune on the heart.
And there we are, swearing to love forever
Commitment to eternal love and the pledge to never part.
And promising never, never to part
A promise to remain devoted and inseparable.
What moments divine, what rapture serene
Describing the sublime and blissful moments.
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
Interference by life's challenges that disperse the joys.
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
Regret over missed opportunities, understood through others' curses.
I know but too well what they mean
Personal understanding of the regret expressed by others.
So don't let them begin the beguine
Advising against revisiting the past to avoid heartache.
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Suggesting to let past love remain as a lingering memory.
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
Allowing the past desires to rest peacefully.
When they begin the beguine
A cautionary note about the emotional impact when the beguine begins.
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them play
An appeal to let the beguine start and the music play.
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Waiting for the return of stars, symbolizing a return to happiness.
Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
Hoping for a renewed expression of love.
Then we suddenly know what heaven we're in
The realization of being in a heavenly moment.
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
A repetition emphasizing the magical impact of the beguine.
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
Reiteration of the plea to let the beguine begin.
When they begin the beguine
The anticipation and longing when the beguine starts.
