AURORA
Benny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She dances in a little street cafe.
And when you're down in Rio De Janeiro
Here's what you'll hear each Latin lover say.
[Chorus]
You're a sweet heart in a million
Oh oh oh ooh (be mine oh oh) aurora
Oh oh oh ooh (be mine oh oh) aurora (be mine)
When you smile and call me honey
Oh oh oh ooh (be mine oh oh ) aurora
Is it me or just my money?
Oh oh oh ooh aurora (be mine)
I'll buy you this and buy you that
If you'll be true to me.
I'll even rent a cottage
And present you with the key.
So if you'll marry me
And be my sweet senora.
Oh oh oh oh aurora, aurora
Be mine, be mine, be mine
You're a sweet heart in a million
Ha ha ha ha aurora
With your manner so Brazilian
Ha ha ha ha aurora
When you smile and call me honey
Ha ha ha ha aurora
Is it me or just my money?
Ha ha ha ha aurora
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh ooh aurora, aurora
Be mine.
The song "Aurora" by Benny tells the story of a girl from Rio De Janeiro who dances in a little street café. The chorus repeats the phrase "You're a sweet heart in a million" while the male singer alternates between asking if Aurora is interested in him or just his money. He promises to buy her things, rent a cottage and give her the key if she'll be true to him and marry him. The song has a playful tone and presents a stereotypical portrayal of Latin lovers.
Upon first listen, it's easy to mistake the song as a playful love song. However, closer examination reveals that the lyrics present a somewhat problematic view of relationships. The repetition of the line "Is it me or just my money?" shows that the male singer is quite aware that Aurora may be interested in him only for his wealth. The chorus reinforces stereotypical gender roles, with the male singer being the provider and Aurora being the prize to be won.
The song was released in 1980 and was most likely inspired by the Brazilian music scene of the time. Benny was a popular Swedish singer who often incorporated Latin rhythms into his music. "Aurora" was one of his biggest hits and a staple of his live performances.
