Can't Help Falling in Love
Andrea Bocelli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you

Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help
Falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

So take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you





For I can't help
Falling in love with you

Overall Meaning

The first two lines, "Wise men say, only fools rush in," is a proverb that warns people against the dangers of impulsive love. It's a message that advocates for taking time to think before getting into a relationship. However, the singer (possibly Andrea Bocelli or Katharine McPhee) argues that she cannot help but fall in love with the person in question. The following line, "But I can't help, Falling in love with you," demonstrates the point of view of the singer.


In the second stanza, the comparison is drawn between the inevitability of a river flowing towards the sea, and how the singer's love for the other person is also preordained. The next line, "Darling so it goes, somethings are meant to be," may imply that the singer believes that their love is predestined and that it's futile to try to resist it.


In the finale, the song's chorus is repeated, and the singer apparently forms an attachment to the person who is the song's subject. "Take my hand, take my whole life too" is essentially an offer to give all of herself to the person she loves, who is apparently the "you" referred to in the song from the perspective of the first person.


Line by Line Meaning

Wise men say, only fools rush in
Some wise people believe that only foolish people act hastily in matters of love


But I can't help, Falling in love with you
But despite that, I am unable to control my heart and feelings, and I find myself falling in love with you


Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Just like how a river naturally flows towards the sea, some things in life have an inevitable course of action


Darling so it goes, somethings are meant to be
Therefore, my dear, it is a fact that some things in life are destined to happen or be together


Take my hand, take my whole life too
Please, take my hand, and take my entire life as well


For I can't help, Falling in love with you
Because I am helpless in resisting my love for you

Yeah. It's so cool how he sings in several languages, and how it still sounds like he is feeling the absolute, living hell out of it. He's one of my favorite singers because the passion always comes through. I don't mind having to try to find translations because this dude is worth it. The lyrics are ususally worth it

@samuelibiabor468
