Chorus & Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here's the home of
Beautiful girls
Where your reason is undone
Beauty can't be hindered
From taking its toll
You may lose control
What man can moralize?
Caution
On your guard with
Beautiful girls
Flawless charmers, every one
This is how Samson was shorn
Each in her style a
Delilah
Reborn!
Each a gem, a beautiful
Diadem of beautiful
Welcome them
These beautiful
Girls!

The lyrics describe the allure of these women as something that cannot be stopped or prevented, even if it means losing control.

The reference to Samson and Delilah in the line "This is how Samson was shorn / Each in her style a Delilah / Reborn!" reinforces the message of the song. Each beautiful woman is a potential danger, capable of causing a man's downfall.
Despite the warning, the chorus also acknowledges the beauty of these women, describing them as "gems" and "a diadem of beautiful." The final lines of the song, "Welcome them / These beautiful / Girls!" suggest that the appeal of beautiful women is irresistible, even if it comes at a cost.
Overall, the lyrics of "Finale" offer a cautionary tale about the power of beautiful women and the potential dangers they may pose to men who lose control in their presence.

You want to hear the entire piece: It starts like a Piano Sonata, then morphs into a Concerto, and then, finally, a Chorus. Awesome!

Es innegable de donde salió la Oda a a Alegria de la 9 sinfonia, y a su vez, esta fantasia coral, salió del Gegenliebe original de Beethoven (1796)
