She
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A trace of pleasure or regret
Maybe my treasure or the price I have to pay
She maybe the song that Salome sings
Maybe the chill that autumn brings
Maybe a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
May be the famine or the feast,
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dream
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I remember 'till the day I die
She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and ready years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is she
The song She by Engelbert Humperdinck touches upon a wide range of emotions that one can experience in a relationship. The lyrics are filled with vivid descriptions of the woman in question, who could be someone who has left a deep impression on the singer's life. The opening lines of the song, "She may be the face I can't forget, a trace of pleasure or regret", suggests that the singer has a bittersweet relationship with this woman. He is drawn to her, even though being with her could come at a cost. The singer sees her as someone who has the potential to bring him immense joy, but also worries that she could be the source of his pain.
As the song progresses, the singer describes his muse in various ways. He calls her "the beauty or the beast" and "the famine or the feast", both describing how she can bring both good and bad into his life. He also sees her as someone who can make his life a heaven or a hell, depending on how things go in their relationship. Furthermore, he portrays her as a complex individual, someone who may not be as she seems on the surface. He states that she could be hiding her true emotions and putting on a facade to the outside world.
Towards the end of the song, the singer reflects on the importance of this woman in his life. He acknowledges that she may not be with him forever, but he will cherish the time they have together. He sees her as his reason for being, the person who has given him a purpose in life. Through her laughter and tears, he knows that he will always be there for her. The song ends with the powerful statement, "For where she goes I've got to be, the meaning of my life is she." This line encapsulates the depth of the singer's feelings, and how this woman has become an integral part of his existence.
