Clebanoff Strings And Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the beat of the castanet,
Now I pray to the skies above,
Bring him back, please bring back my love. Ah!
Malaga blue seas still echo his last words to me.
Malguena, Tho' you are every-thing to me,
Malaguena, my true love is the sea.
Love like ours must learn to play,play a waiting game,
And live just for the flame;
Malaguena, there's a fire deep inside of me,
That must burn, die out, so I can be free.
If no spark lingers within when the storm is past,
I'll be yours, i'll be yours, yours at last.
The song "Malaguena" by Clebanoff Strings And Orchestra is a love ballad that tells the story of a woman who fondly remembers her time in Malaga with her lover. She opens with a nostalgic tone, reminiscing about the place where their love first blossomed and the beat of the castanets which accompanied their romance. The chorus reveals the depth of her love for her partner, comparing himself to the sea, but acknowledges the bittersweet nature of their relationship. Despite their powerful bond, their love must endure a waiting game to keep the flame alive.
In the second verse, she describes the blue seas that remind her of her love's last words to her. The melody of the song has a melancholy quality to it, which perfectly captures the pensive tone of the lyrics. Our narrator cannot deny that there is a fire burning within her, a desire for her freedom. She recognizes that the relationship needs to end because the passion that once burned within the couple is no longer there as the storm has passed. She offers the possibility of reconciliation, but it is uncertain what the future holds for them.
