Can You Feel the Love Tonight
Beyoncé & Donald Glover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And they don't have a clue (who's they?)
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two (oh, I get it)
The sweet caress of twilight (yep)
There's magic everywhere (it's everywhere)
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible
She'd turn away from me
He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is
The king I see inside?
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
His carefree days with us are history
In short, our pal is doomed
In "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," the singers are observing Simba and Nala from afar as they explore the African wilderness together. As they note the setting sun and the "magic" of the moment, they warn that "disaster's in the air" as the two young lions are "falling in love" and the "trio's down to two." The two couples are dealing with their own internal struggles - Simba is grappling with his identity as a future king and the truth about his past, while Nala is determined to find a way to save their home, the Pride Lands. The song ends by predicting that if Simba and Nala's love blossoms as expected, it could spell doom for their close friendship as they all embark on their respective journeys.
The lyrics in "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" convey a sense of longing and uncertainty, underscoring the characters' turmoil as the future of the Pride Lands hangs in the balance. The sweet melody and evocative imagery create a strong sense of atmosphere, helping to build the tension and excitement in the narrative.

But what, I can't decide
But I can't figure out specifically what he's hiding
Why won't he be the king I know he is
I know he's capable of being the king
The king I see inside?
The potential I see in him?
You needn't look too far
You don't have to search hard to find it (Love)
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Creeping through the obscurities of the night
Love is where they are
Love is present where they are
And if he falls in love tonight
And if he happens to fall in love tonight
It can be assumed
It goes without saying
His carefree days with us are history
He will no longer have stress-free days with us
In short, our pal is doomed
To sum it up, our friend is in trouble (his fate is sealed)
