The spanish night is over
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a lonely night
Barcelona, Spain
She was just a simple girl
Maria was her name
Trough the night we fell in love
That morning brings goodbye
Now I spend the rest of my life wondering why
The Spanish night is over, and here I am again
Holdin' just a heartfull of memory's, that never ends
The Spanish night is over, but still I'm dreamin' off
How we were together, the night we fell in love

Every night I close my eyes, and hold her in my sleep
Though it was so long ago, the memory's I will keep
Some of us were meant to win, other's meant to loose
But I'd never dream that we still loosin' you

The Spanish night is over, and here I am again
Holdin' just a heartfull of memory's, that never ends
The Spanish night is over, but still I'm dreamin' off
How we were together, the night we fell in love

(Arriba, arriba, arriba, haha)

The Spanish night is over, but still I'm dreamin' off




How we were together, the night we fell in love
How we were together, the night we fell in love

Overall Meaning

The song "The Spanish Night Is Over" by Engelbert Humperdinck tells the story of a man who has lost the love of his life. The lyrics describe how the woman he loved left him in the middle of the night, leaving him feeling lost and alone. He reflects on their relationship and how she took offense to many things he did, ultimately leading to her departure. He is now left to deal with the pain of losing her and the realization that he may never find love again. The chorus repeats the phrases "Verlieben, verloren, vergessen, verzeih'n" which translates to "fall in love, lose love, forget, forgive." The verses paint a picture of a man trying to come to terms with his broken heart, while the chorus reminds him that he must move on in order to find happiness again.


The song was released in 1974 and became a hit in several countries, including Germany and the Netherlands. It was written by Christian Bruhn, who is known for writing several German-language hits in the 1960s and 70s. The song is especially notable for Engelbert Humperdinck's emotive performance, which captures the sadness and longing expressed in the lyrics.


Line by Line Meaning

Verlieben, verloren
I fell in love, then lost it all


Do gingst von mir in einer Stunde
You left me suddenly in just one hour


Es war die Stunde Null
It was like the world had stopped turning


Ich hatte einen Tiefpunkt
I hit rock bottom


Do nahmst mir vieles krumm
You held a lot of grudges against me


Auf einmal da war keiner mehr da
Suddenly, there was no one left to help me


Und half mir auch nicht do
You didn't lend me a helping hand


Jetzt liebst do halt nen anderen
Now you love someone else


Und mein Herz schaut traurig zu
And my heart looks on sadly


Vergessen, verzeih'n
Forget, forgive


Verdammt war ich glücklich
I was damn happy


Verdammt bin ich frei
Now I'm damn free


Ich hatte doch alles, alles was zählt
I had everything that mattered


Aber ohne dich leben
But I can't live without you


Jetzt ist es zu spät.
Now it's too late


Jetzt sitze ich auf meinem Bett rum
Now I'm just sitting on my bed


Hab die Kneipe hinter mir
I've left the bar behind me


In meinem Kopf geht gar nichts mehr
My mind is blank


Mein Herz es braucht dich sehr
My heart needs you badly


2 mal Refrain
Repeat chorus twice
