Sway
And His Orchestra Rosemary Clooney Perez Prado Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me
Make me sway
Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close
Sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me
Sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me
Sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I grow weak

I can hear the sound of violins
Long before
It begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth
Sway me now

Quien sera el que me quiere a mi
Quien sera
Quien sera
Quien sera el que me de su amor
Quien sera
Quien sera

I can hear the sound of violins
Long before
It begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth
Sway me now





Sway me smooth, Sway me now!

The second stanza continues the romantic theme of the song, using a flower bending in the breeze as a metaphor for the couple's gentle swaying movement. The singer praises her partner's dancing technique, saying that they have a unique way of swaying that makes her feel weak in the knees. The lyrics also suggest that the couple is lost in their dance, and they only have eyes for each other. The third stanza is in Spanish and is a nod to the Latin American origins of the song. The lyrics ask who will love the singer and who will give her their love.

Quién será la que me quiera a mi,
quién será ? Quién será...
Quién será la que me de su amor
Quién será , quién será?

Yo no sé si la podré encontrar
Yo no sé, yo no sé
Yo no sé si volveré a querer
Yo no sé, yo no sé.

He querido volver a vivir
La pasión y el calor de otro amor
De otro amor que me hiciera sentir
Que me hiciera feliz, como ayer lo fui.

Ay, quién será la que me quiera a mi
Quién será, quién será ?
Quién será la que me de su amor
Quién será, quién será ..?

Canción escrita en 1953, por los mexicanos : Luis Demetrio Traconis y Pablo Beltrán. 😊👍🏻
