Isle of Capri
Whispers of Love on Isle of Capri
Lyrics
't was on the Isle of Capri that I found her
Refers to finding someone special on the Isle of Capri
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Describes the setting where the encounter took place
Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming round her
Recollection of the beauty surrounding the person found
Where we met on the Isle of Capri
Reiterates the meeting location and its significance
She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
Complimentary comparison of the person to a rose
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
Implies a sense of destiny or circumstance not aligning
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
Despite efforts, the connection didn’t materialize
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri
Expresses a longing or emotional attachment to the Isle of Capri
Summertime was nearly over
Sets the temporal context of the narrative
Blue Italian sky above
Describes the scenic backdrop
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
Introduction of the singer as a wanderer
Can you spare a sweet word of love?"
Request for affection or acknowledgment of love
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
Advice against prolonging the connection
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
Gesture of intimacy but noticing a commitment
She wore a lovely meatball on her finger
Remark on the woman's marital status (humorously described as "meatball")
't was goodbye at the villa Capri
Confirmation of parting at a specific place
Summertime was nearly over
Reiteration of the seasonal context and ambiance
Blue Italian sky above
Reiteration of the scenic environment
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
Repetition of the singer’s wandering nature and request for love
Can you spare a fine word of love?"
Similar request for affection
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
Reiteration of advice against prolonging the connection
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
Similar gesture of intimacy but noticing a different ring
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger
Observation of another ring, hinting at a commitment
't was goodbye on the Isle of Capri
Confirmation of parting, repeating the location
't was goodbye on the Isle of Capri
Reiteration of farewell at the Isle of Capri
't was goodbye on the Isle of Capri
Final confirmation of the parting on the Isle of Capri
