It's All In The Game
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Many a tear has to fall
But it's all in the game

All in the wonderful game
That we know as love

You had words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things your heart can rise above

Once in a while he won't call
But it's all in the game

Soon he'll be there by your side
With a small bouquet

And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your fingertips
And your heart will fly away

You had words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things your heart can rise above

Once in a while he won't call
But it's all in the game

Soon he'll be there by your side
With a small bouquet

And he'll kiss your lips




And caress your fingertips
And your heart will fly away

,,Многие слезы должны падать
Но это все в игре
Все в прекрасной игре
То, что мы знаем как любовь
У вас были слова с ним
И ваше будущее выглядит тусклым
Но эти вещи ваше сердце может подняться выше

Время от времени он не будет звонить
Но это все в игре
Скоро он будет рядом с вами
Со сладким букетом

И он поцеловал твои губы
И ласкает свои ожидающие кончики пальцев
И твое сердце улетит,,

Жестокая игра..
