Is This Love
Bossa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
But our love is here to stay
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
The song "Is this love" by Bossa is a classic love song that expresses a deep commitment to a lover. The lyrics of the song demonstrate a love that is unmovable, unwavering, and eternal. The lyrics begin by stating that "our love is here to stay" and emphasizes that it is not just for a year, but "ever and a day." The use of "ever and a day" gives the impression that the love being spoken of is timeless and something that will last forever.
The next set of lyrics makes a comparison between the ephemeral aspects of life and the enduring nature of love. The radio, telephone, and movies that society is familiar with may be considered fleeting passions that come and go. However, the love between the pair in the song is different. The intensity of their love is not subject to change or diminishing with time, and it will be lasting despite any external factor.
The chorus of the song concludes with a metaphor that demonstrates the depth of the love being sung about. The lyrics suggest that the challenges of life will come, and even the most robust elements of nature such as "The Rockies... and Gibraltar" may fall. Still, the love between the two is steadfast and will remain. This metaphor shows the couple's determination to withstand any obstacles that may arise throughout their journey of love.

So sultry, so smooth. I have come back to listen to this cover every year or two for the past decade, and the channels posting it have changed several times. It's memorable enough of a cover to be worth returning to periodically.
