Green Grow the Lilacs
Spring's Melancholy Dance: A Poetic Tale of Love's Absence
Lyrics
Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew
Symbolizes the beauty of lilacs covered in dew
Green grow the lilacs when winter is thru
Highlights the growth of lilacs after winter
Each time I see lilacs my heart breaks in two
Expresses emotional pain associated with seeing lilacs, reminiscent of a lost love
'Cause springtime is here and
Indicates the arrival of spring
It's here without you
Emphasizes the absence of a loved one during springtime
As sure as the bluebirds that fly up above
Compares the certainty of spring to the presence of bluebirds
Springtime is sad without someone to love
States the melancholy of spring without a romantic partner
Yes springtime is sad and it troubles my mind
Reflects on the sadness experienced during spring and the absence of love
In a world full of women
Observes the lack of personal connection despite the presence of many women
Not one girl is mine
Expresses a sense of longing and solitude
Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew
Reiterates the beauty of lilacs in springtime
Green grow the lilacs when winter is thru
Repeats the idea of lilacs thriving after winter
Each time I see lilacs my heart breaks in two
Reiterates the emotional pain felt upon seeing lilacs due to the absence of a loved one
'Cause springtime is here and
Reaffirms the arrival of spring without the presence of the beloved
It's here without you
Emphasizes the loneliness experienced during this season
They say that it's best to
Advises to forget the past relationship
Forget what we had
Contrasts forgetting with the pain of constant remembrance
Then it is to remember and always be said
Highlights the struggle between forgetting and holding onto memories
But still I keep wondering each now and then
Expresses ongoing thoughts and hopes about reuniting with the lost love
If ever I'll see you and kiss you again
Expresses longing for a reunion and affectionate moments
Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew
Repeats the imagery of beautiful lilacs
Green grow the lilacs when winter is thru
Repeats the idea of lilacs flourishing after winter
Each time I see lilacs my heart breaks in two
Reiterates the emotional pain associated with the absence of a loved one during spring
'Cause springtime is here and
Reaffirms the presence of spring without the beloved
It's here without you
Emphasizes the feeling of emptiness during this season
