Begin the Beguine
Rekindling Romance: Begin the Beguine's Timeless Tropical Embrace
Lyrics
When they begin the beguine
When the beguine dance begins
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It evokes the gentle, melodious sound of music
It brings back a night of tropical splendor,
It brings back memories of a night filled with tropical beauty
It brings back a memory ever green.
Recalls a memory that remains fresh and lively
I'm with you once more under the stars,
I am once again with you under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
By the shore, a band is playing music
And even the palms seem to be swaying
Even the palm trees appear to be swaying in rhythm
When they begin the beguine.
When the beguine dance starts
To live it again is past all endeavor,
Reliving those moments is nearly impossible
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
Except when that specific melody grips my heart
And there we are, swearing to love forever,
We find ourselves reaffirming eternal love
And promising never, never to part.
Promising never to separate
What moments divine, what rapture serene,
Beautiful and serene moments, filled with bliss
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted,
Until unfortunate events disrupted our happiness
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
Now, hearing regrets about missed opportunities
I know but too well what they mean
I understand their feelings too well
So don't let them begin the beguine
Don't initiate the beguine dance again
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Let the past love remain as a fading memory
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
Let it rest like a desire that's no longer alive
When they begin the beguine.
Only remembered when the beguine starts
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
Oh yes, let the dance begin, let the music play
Till the stars that were there before return above you,
Until the stars reappear above you
Till you whisper to me once more,
Until you say to me once more, "Darling, I love you!"
""Darling, I love you!""
Signifying the realization of the blissful moment
And we suddenly know, what heaven we're in,
Understanding the paradise we're in
When they begin the beguine
When the beguine dance commences
