Begin the Beguine
Eternal Rapture: Rediscovering Love under the Stars with 'Begin the Beguine'
Lyrics
When they begin the beguine
Initiation of the beguine, marking the start of a romantic experience or event.
It brings back the sound of music so tender
The beginning evokes the sweet and gentle sounds of music.
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
The start brings back memories of a night filled with tropical beauty.
It brings back a memory ever green
Initiates the recall of a cherished and enduring memory.
I'm with you once more under the stars
Reuniting under the stars with a sense of familiarity.
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
An orchestra playing by the shore enhances the romantic atmosphere.
And even the palms seem to be swaying
The surroundings, even the palms, seem to respond to the music.
When they begin the beguine
The magic is invoked again when the beguine begins.
To live it again is past all endeavor
Reliving the experience seems almost impossible.
Except when that tune clutches my heart
The emotional impact is particularly strong when the specific tune resonates.
And there we are, swearing to love forever
Commitment to love and promises of eternal togetherness.
And promising never, never to part
Pledging never to separate.
What moments divine, what rapture serene
Reflecting on divine moments and serene joy.
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
The joy faced challenges symbolized by clouds dispersing the tasted joys.
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
Hearing others regret missed opportunities resonates personally.
I know but too well what they mean
Understanding the regret expressed by others.
So don't let them begin the beguine
Advising against initiating the beguine to avoid reopening emotional wounds.
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Suggesting that past love should remain a subdued memory.
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
Encouraging the dormant desire to remain in the past.
When they begin the beguine
Reiterating the emotional impact when the beguine starts again.
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them play
An ironic plea to restart the beguine despite the earlier advice.
Till the stars that were there before return above you
A wish for the return of the stars that once witnessed the romance.
Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
A desire to hear the beloved whisper words of love once more.
Then we suddenly know what heaven we're in
Realization of being in a heavenly state when the beguine recommences.
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
Expressing the joy and ecstasy when the beguine begins.
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
Repetition emphasizing the significance of initiating the beguine.
When they begin the beguine
Concluding with the repetition of the plea to begin the beguine.
