Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye
Unveiling Heartache: Farewell's Bittersweet Melody by Luis Giraldo
Lyrics
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
Parting with you is emotionally difficult
I die a little
Each farewell causes a small emotional pain or sadness
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
Expressing the repetition of the emotional difficulty in saying goodbye
I wonder why a little
Curiosity about the reasons behind the separation, questioning
Why the Gods above me
Reference to higher powers or fate
Who must be in the know
Belief that higher powers have insight or knowledge
Think so little of me
Feeling unimportant or undervalued by the divine
They allow you to go
Acceptance or allowance of the departure, possibly reluctantly
When you're near
Proximity to the person creates a positive and refreshing atmosphere
There's such an air of spring about it
The presence of the person brings a sense of renewal or vitality
I can hear a lark somewhere
Auditory perception of nature signaling a positive change
Begin to sing about it
A lark singing symbolizes joy or celebration
There's no love song finer
Expressing the beauty of the love song
But how strange the change
Highlighting the peculiar and unexpected transformation in emotions
From major to minor
Noting the shift in musical terms, reflecting emotional change
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
Reiteration of the emotional difficulty in parting
When you're near
Recurrence of the positive atmosphere when in close proximity
There's such an air of spring about it
Repetition of the positive effect of the person's presence
I can hear a lark somewhere
Reiteration of the joyful sounds associated with the person
Begin to sing about it
Repetition of the beauty in the love song
There's no love song finer
Reiteration of the emotional transformation in love
But how strange the change
Emphasis on the unexpected change in emotional tone
From major to minor
Highlighting the contrast in emotional intensity
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
Reiteration of the emotional challenge in saying goodbye
