Hooray for Love
Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It gets you high, it gets you low, but once you get that glow...
Here`s to my best romance, Here`s to my worst romance
Here`s to my first romance - ages ago
Here`s to the boys I've kissed, and to complete the list
Here`s to the boys who said "No!"
Love, love, hooray for love
Who was ever too blase for love
Make this the night for love
If we have to fight, let`s fight for love
Some sigh and cry for love
Ah, but in Pa-ree they die for love
Some waste away for love
Just the same - hooray for love!
It`s the rocket to the moon, with a touch of "Clare de Lune"
It gets you high, it gets you low, but once you get that glow...
Some trust to fate for love,
Others have to take off weight for love
Some go berserk for love
Loafers even go to work for love
Sad songs are sobbed for love
People have their noses bobbed for love
Some say we pay for love
Just the same - hooray for love!
The lyrics of Ella Fitzgerald's song Hooray For Love convey the idea that love is an incredibly powerful and transformative emotion, both positively and negatively. It compares love to a rocket to the moon, implying that there is an element of the unknown and the inevitable highs and lows that come with any journey of discovery. The chorus of "Love, love, hooray for love" celebrates this emotion, despite the struggles and heartbreaks that can come with it. The song acknowledges the different experiences of love, from first romances to rejected proposals, and even notes that some people in Paris die for love, emphasizing the sacrifice and intensity that love can inspire. By the end of the song when it states, "Some say we pay for love, Just the same - hooray for love!", it brings to light that despite love's struggles and hardships, it's still something to celebrate and be thankful for.
Fitzgerald's song is a testament to the enduring and universal nature of love, and how it can bring people together even in the most difficult of times. It's a reminder to embrace the thrill of the unknown and to persevere through any challenges for the sake of love. Whether you are in the throes of a passionate romance or facing heartache, Hooray For Love affirms that regardless of its challenges, love is something worth celebrating and fighting for.
