One Slowdance
Rufio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your standing there alone
And so am I
But i want you here
By my side
Your smile at me
Is everything
The staring game
That song of love.

I look you in the eyes
I try to read your thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.

You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my heart beating so hard.
We look eye to eye
And I'm swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rufio's song "One Slowdance" tell the story of two people standing alone, but with a powerful desire to be together. The singer seems to be deeply enamoured with the object of their affection, as evidenced by the opening lines, "Your standing there alone and so am I / But I want you here by my side." The perspective then shifts to focus on the powerful connection between the two characters, as symbolized by their eye contact, the "staring game" that they play.


The singer longs for their affection to be returned, and attempts to read the other person's thoughts through eye contact. They then ask the other person to go with them "to a far off place," a romantic invitation to escape the mundane realities of life and experience something magical together. The second half of the song describes a dreamlike scenario where the characters dance the night away, watching the sunrise on the beach as they share a single slow dance. The singer is clearly overwhelmed by these experiences, as evidenced by the final line, "I'm in a trance from that one slowdance."


Overall, "One Slowdance" is a powerful love song that captures the thrill and excitement of new romance. The lyrics are poetic and dreamlike, portraying a sense of longing and desire that is familiar to anyone who has experienced the rush of falling in love.
