Twilight
Caprice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It is the hour when from the boughs
The nightingale's high note is heard-
It is the hour - when lovers' vows
Sweet in every word
They seem sweet in every whispered word.

And gentle winds and waters near
Make music to the lonely ear.
Each flower the dews have lightly wet,
Stars and sky are metÂ...
And in the sky the stars are met.

And on the wave is deeper blue,
And on the leaf a browner hue -




And in the Heaven, that's clear obscure
Softly darkÂ... darkly pureÂ...

Overall Meaning

Caprice's song "Twilight" paints an ethereal picture of lovers in the midst of nature. The lyrics refer to the time of day when the nightingale's song can be heard on the boughs, indicating that it is evening or early night-time. At this hour, lovers make their vows and promises to each other, which sound especially sweet in the quiet, romantic setting. The gentle winds blowing through the trees and the nearby babbling waters create a musical background to the whispered words of love. This peaceful, serene backdrop is further accentuated by the dampness of dew on flowers, the darkness of the sky, and the sparkling of stars above.


Caprice further describes the scene by adding that the blue of the water seems deeper and the green of the leaves richer. The sky is clear, yet obscure, a subtle nod to the melancholic tone of the song. The lyrics suggest that the lovers' emotions are reflected in the natural beauty that surrounds them, evoking a sense of timeless romanticism.


Line by Line Meaning

It is the hour when from the boughs
It is the time of day when the nightingale's high note is heard from the tree branches


The nightingale's high note is heard-
The bird known as the nightingale is singing a high note that can be heard


It is the hour - when lovers' vows
This is the time of day when lovers make promises to each other


Sweet in every word
The assurances of love are pure and genuine


They seem sweet in every whispered word.
The loving words whispered to each other are sincere and touching


And gentle winds and waters near
The light breezes and nearby streams


Make music to the lonely ear.
Creating a melody that captures the heart of a lonely being


Each flower the dews have lightly wet,
Every flower that has been touched lightly by the morning dew


Stars and sky are met...
Where the stars and the sky meet


And in the sky the stars are met.
The stars gather and shine brightly in the sky


And on the wave is deeper blue,
The sea waves reflect a darker shade of blue


And on the leaf a browner hue -
The leaves have taken on a slightly darker shade of brown


And in the Heaven, that's clear obscure
The sky appears both clear and still somewhat hazy


Softly dark... darkly pure...
The atmosphere is dim and yet elegant in its dimness

It is the hour when from the boughs
The nightingale's high note is heard:
It is the hour when lovers' vows
Seem sweet in every whispered word:
And gentle winds, and waters near,
Make music to the lonely ear.
Each flower the dews have lightly wet,
And in the sky the stars are met,
And on the wave is deeper blue,
And on the leaf a browner hue,
And in the heaven that clear obscure,
So softly dark, and darkly pure.
Which follows the decline of day,
As twilight melts beneath the moon away.
