This Is My Song
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why is my heart so light
Why are the stars so bright
Why is the sky so blue
Since the hour I met you
Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight
Smiling so tenderly
For the world, you and me
I know why my world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
It is the same old story
Through all eternity

Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to love

The world cannot be wrong
If in this world, there is you
I care not what the world may be saying
Without our love, there is no day
So love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you

I care not what the world may be saying
Without your love, there is no day




So love, this is my song
Here is my song, a serenade to you

Overall Meaning

Throughout the lyrics, the singer marvels at the newfound lightness in their heart and the brightness of the world around them since falling in love. The imagery of smiling flowers and a blue sky suggests a sense of wonder and enchantment in the singer's perception of the world.


The chorus of the song serves as a declaration of the singer's unwavering devotion to their loved one, regardless of what others may say or think. For the singer, their love is the most important thing in the world, and without it, life would be dull and uninspiring. The use of the phrase "serenade to love" in the second verse adds to the romantic atmosphere of the song, evoking a nostalgic, old-fashioned sentimentality.


Overall, "This Is My Song" is a beautiful tribute to the power of love to transform one's life and the world around them. It celebrates the sheer joy and wonder of falling in love and the emotional connection that binds two people together.

...............ESTA É A MINHA CANÇÃO...............[Sir Charles Chaplin]...............
Por que meu coração está tão leve
Por que as estrelas estão a brilhar
Por que esse azul do céu
Desde o momento em que te encontrei

As flores estão com um lindo sorriso
Sorrindo para o nosso encantamento
Sorrindo com tanta ternura
Para o mundo, para você e para mim

Eu sei por que meu mundo está a sorrir
Sorrindo com tanta ternura
E é sempre a mesma velha história
Por toda a eternidade


Meu bem, essa é a minha canção
Eis uma canção, feito uma serenada de amor
O mundo pode sempre estar certo
Se nesse mundo existir você

Não dou a mínima do que as pessoas estão a falar
Pois sem você, não existe o presente
Então, meu bem, essa é a minha canção
Eis uma canção, feito uma serenada de amor

..... . .. . ....

Não dou a mínima do que as pessoas estão a falar
Pois sem você, não existe o presente
Então, meu bem, essa é a minha canção
Eis minha canção, feito uma serenada de amor

I 've always loved Engelbert Humperdinck since I first heard him sing this particular song, way back in the early 70s, I still get goose bumps listening to "This is my song", artists of his calibre, are the maestros, they 're the masters of real music timeless classics

A song for eternity, composed by the incomparable Charlie Chaplin,
for the film "A Countess from Hong Kong" (1966) and an unparalleled lyrical version of Engelbert ....
