Lara's Theme
André Rieu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Although the snow covers the hope of Spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the Spring breaks through
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Lara, my own, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again
The lyrics of André Rieu's "Lara's Theme" talk about a love that transcends time and distance. It starts with the comforting thought that somewhere, there will always be songs to sing, even if the present moment feels bleak and hopeless. The mention of spring symbolizes the hope of new beginnings, and the possibility that even when everything seems dead and lifeless, there is a chance for growth and renewal. The image of a hill blossoming in green and gold further emphasizes the idea that life goes on, and beauty can flourish even in harsh circumstances.
The second stanza speaks directly to the singer's beloved, Lara. It expresses the belief that they will meet again someday, and that when they do, it will be a joyous occasion marked by the arrival of spring. The description of Lara as "warm as the wind" and "soft as the kiss of snow" suggests that she is a tender, gentle soul whose love brings comfort and peace to the singer's life.
The final lines of the song are a farewell to Lara, with the promise that the singer will always think of her, and that he wishes her well until they are reunited once again. The repeated phrase "Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again" encapsulates the feelings of longing, hope, and nostalgia that pervade the entire song.

Who's still listening this somewhat triste and beautiful tune in 2021 with me?
I guess we all have our own "Lara" in our memories.
Memories of those far-off day?
Memories tinged with sadness?
Reminiscences and Memories crowded your mind?
Long lost friends?
or heyday of your life?
I want to share your beautiful stories.
Will you leave your beautiful stories at my door?
I'll leave them for the one who waits behind.
Somewhere my love..

This is the last music my mom ever heard. I played this video for her before she died this weekend. Somewhere, My Love was played at her wedding 51 years ago.
