Take Me
Bert Kaempfert And His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tear a star from out the sky
And the sky feels blue
Tear a petal from a rose
And the rose weeps, too

Take your heart away from mine
And mine will surely break
My life is yours to make
So please keep the spark awake

Would you take the wings from birds
So that they can't fly?
Would you take the ocean's roar
And leave just a sigh?

All this, your heart won't let you do
This is what I beg of you




Don't take your love from me
Don't take your love from me

Overall Meaning

In "Take Me", Bert Kaempfert And His Orchestra deliver a heartfelt plea to a lover not to take away the love they share. The lyrics are introspective and thoughtful, posing the question of what life would be like without a certain element, such as a single petal from a rose or a single star from the sky. The song highlights the importance of love and how it is intertwined with the other aspects of life that gives meaning to it. The singer laments that if his lover takes their heart away from his life, everything will come crashing down, and his life will lose its purpose.


The imagery used in the lyrics of the song is both deep and emotional. The opening lyrics, "Tear a star from out the sky/And the sky feels blue", refers to how the absence of a significant thing in life can cause melancholy. The line "Take your heart away from mine/And mine will surely break" shows how love is what binds their hearts together, and without it, he would be lost. The song communicates the message of never taking anyone for granted, especially when that person is the one who completes and gives meaning to life.


Line by Line Meaning

Tear a star from out the sky
If you take away something that shines and brings light to our world, the world we know and see will become dark and bleak.


And the sky feels blue
The void left by the missing star makes the vast sky feel lonely and melancholic in its absence.


Tear a petal from a rose
By taking away something delicate and precious from a rose, you inflict pain and sorrow upon both the rose and the one who plucked it.


And the rose weeps, too
Just like humans, a rose can feel sadness and despair when something valuable is taken away from it.


Take your heart away from mine
If you separate yourself emotionally from me, it will cause me great pain and heartache.


And mine will surely break
My heart is inextricably tied to yours, and if you abandon me, I will feel crushed and helpless.


My life is yours to make
I am completely devoted to you, and my every action and decision is entwined with the choices you make in life.


So please keep the spark awake
Please do not let our relationship falter or die out, but nurture it and keep the flames of passion burning bright.


Would you take the wings from birds
If you remove the ability of birds to soar and fly, you rob them of the very essence of their existence.


So that they can't fly?
By taking away their flight, you take away their freedom and their natural inclination to seek new horizons.


Would you take the ocean's roar
If you silence the rumbling and crashing of the ocean's waves, you make nature itself seem hollow and empty.


And leave just a sigh?
Reducing the majestic roar of the ocean to a mere whimper is a profound affront to the power and beauty of the natural world.


All this, your heart won't let you do
You are a caring and compassionate person at heart, and you cannot bear to be the cause of pain or suffering for someone else.


This is what I beg of you
I implore you to consider the weight of your actions and the immense impact they can have on others.


Don't take your love from me
Please do not abandon or forsake me, as my love for you is the core of my being and the reason for my existence.


Don't take your love from me
My love for you is unconditional and everlasting, and without it, my life would be empty and meaningless.
