Stranger In Paradise
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Exchanging glances
Wandering the night,
What were the chances
We'd be sharing love
Before the night was through
Something in your eyes
Something in your smile
Was so exciting
Something in my heart
Told me I must have you
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
And ever since that night
We've been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
For strangers in the night.

The chances of their paths crossing in this vast world seemed unlikely, but fate intervened and they found each other.
The singer describes the irresistible attraction between the two strangers. "Something in your eyes was so inviting... Something in your smile was so exciting..." Despite not knowing each other, they are drawn together. The singer's heart tells him he must have her. The two strangers are no longer alone, they have each other. The chance meeting brought them love and happiness, and they will be together forever.

Line by Line Meaning
Strangers in the night,
Two strangers met at night,
Exchanging glances
Making eye contact with each other,
Wandering the night,
Roaming around aimlessly at night,
What were the chances
Wondering how probable it is for them to meet,
We'd be sharing love
They will end up falling in love,
Before the night was through
Before the night comes to an end.
Something in your eyes
The look in your eyes conveyed something,
Was so inviting
It was very captivating,
Something in your smile
Your smile had something special,
Was so exciting
It made my heart race,
Something in my heart
I had a feeling in my heart,
Told me I must have you
That I needed to have you.
Two lonely people
Both were alone and lonely,
Up to the moment
Until the time came,
When we said our first hello
When we first spoke to each other,
Little did we know
We had no idea,
Love was just a glance away
Love was very near,
A warm embracing dance away
Just a warm hug and dance away,
And ever since that night
And from that night on,
We've been together
We have been together,
Lovers at first sight
We fell in love as soon as we saw each other,
In love forever
We will always be in love,
It turned out so right
It worked out perfectly.
For strangers in the night.
For two strangers who met at night.

Чудесный голос вновь летит над Вселенной и нам дарит любовь и радость слышать песни твои Энгельберт. Вновь уноситься на крыльях любви в свою юность.
