That's My Desire
Dion And The Belmonts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And reminisce with you that's my desire.
To meet where gypsies play, down in that dim cafe,
And dance 'till break of day that's my desire.
We'll sip a little glass of wine, I'll gaze into your eyes divine.
I'll feel the touch of your lips pressing on mine.
To hear you whisper low just when it's time to go,
Cherie, I love you so, that's my desire.
The lyrics of Dion And The Belmonts's song "That's My Desire" speak of the singer's yearning for a romantic rendezvous with their beloved. The singer expresses their deep desire to meet their lover at a dimly lit café where gypsies play music and dance with them until dawn. They want to spend the night talking about old times and drinking wine, gazing into their lover's divine eyes, feeling their kiss on their lips, and hearing them whisper how much they love them.
The song captures the essence of the romantic yearning that defines love, the desire to be with someone, and the yearning to be able to express one's feelings freely without fear of judgment or rejection. The lyrics also evoke a sense of longing for a simpler time, a time when love was uncomplicated and unencumbered by the distractions of modern life.

The most dangerous song ever played at a Catholic High School dance. All the girls melted.

There was no one like Angelo D'Aleo and there will never be. His falsetto is the heart of this song. I only wish I knew a way to tell him myself. Angelo you are the BEST.

My dad listened to this version on Radio Luxembourg in 61 as a kid. He bought the version in Gothenburg from sailors who bought Rockn Roll and Doo Wop in the US when our Swedish record stores had very few Rockn Roll records. We had our Swedish Stars who sang in English like Jerry Williams and the Violent who played together with the Beatles at the Top Ten Club and Starclub in Hamburg and The Beatles became such friends with them that they toured Sweden together on the Beatles' first abroad tour. Anyway, a few Swedish bands did the Dion and the Belmonts version of this song and Benny Andersson from ABBA did their version in his first band on tours if Im not mistaken?

Ever hear Earl Lewis sing this song? But Mr. D'Aleo's singing is also spectacular.
@strikerorwell9232
I can ask Benny Andersson in ABBA to pass on the message? My grandpa was his gardener.

That falsetto shreds through space and time
Amazing music

Beautifully put...and accurate. But only some of us understand.

There is a German group, The Firebirds, who do a version of this. Its a great version, and a great falsetto too. Its good to see a younger generation doing doo wop.
@MattAttack54
The Great Angelo D’aleo has a great falsetto still to this day
