Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, but yet I know
That I'll think of you each step of my way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
Cause we both know that I'm not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, I will always love
I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
"The Bodyguard" is a romantic drama film that was released in 1992, starring Whitney Houston as Rachel Marron, a successful singer and actress, and Kevin Costner as Frank Farmer, a former Secret Service agent hired to protect Rachel from a stalker. The song "I Will Always Love You" was recorded and performed by Whitney Houston for the movie and was a huge commercial success. The song was originally written and composed by Dolly Parton in 1973, and it became a hit for her country music career. Houston's version of the song is a ballad that has a significant emotional impact due to the intensity of her vocal performance and personal connection to the character she portrayed in the film.
The lyrics of the song reflect the theme of letting go of a relationship out of love rather than force. The singer, who is departing from a lover, declares that if they were to stay, they would only be a burden, and the decision to leave is made out of concern for the other person. The extended metaphor of a journey is used to express the separation, and the singer admits that they will always love the other person but that the relationship had run its course. The final verse is a message of hope and well wishes for the other person, expressing the wish for them to find happiness and love in their life.

If I should stay
If I choose to stay by your side
Well, I would only be in your way
My presence will only hinder and obstruct you
And so I'll go, but yet I know
I'll leave regardless, but I'm aware that...
That I'll think of you each step of my way
...I'll constantly remember and have you on my mind
And I will always love you
I'll forever have love for you
I will always love you
I'll forever have love for you
Bitter-sweet memories
I have mixed emotions about the memories we've shared
That's all I have, and all I'm taking with me
Those memories, that love, is all I'm holding onto and taking away
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
Farewell, I don't want to see you weeping
Cause we both know that I'm not
We're aware that I'm not...
What you need
...what you truly require or desire
And I hope life, will treat you kind
May life be kind to you
And I hope that you have all
I pray that you possess everything
That you ever dreamed of
...all of your hopes, goals and everything that you've aspired for
Oh, I do wish you joy
I genuinely desire joy for you
And I wish you happiness
I wish for your happiness
But above all this
But more than anything else...
I wish you love
...I wish you love
I love you, I will always love
These intense feelings of love will always be there in my heart
I, I will always, always love you
I'll unconditionally, always and forever love you

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You, my darling, you
Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye, please, don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you, oh
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you'll have all you've dreamed of
And I wished you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you, you
Darling, I love you
I'll always, I'll always love you
Se eu ficasse
Eu só te atrapalharia
Então eu vou embora, mas eu sei
Que pensarei em você em cada passo do caminho
E eu sempre vou te amar
Eu sempre vou te amar
Você, meu querido, você
Lembranças agridoces
Isso é tudo que estou levando comigo
Então adeus, por favor, não chore
Nós dois sabemos que eu não sou o que você, você precisa
E eu sempre vou te amar
Eu sempre vou te amar, ah
Eu espero que a vida te trate bem
E eu espero que você tenha tudo o que você sonhou
E eu te desejo alegria e felicidade
Mas acima de tudo, te desejo amor
E eu sempre vou te amar

A fine interpretation of the sonority to the piece. I like the phrasal intros and fades. At 0.85 speed I dissemble into the simplicity of the song. Grüss Gott.
