One By One
Enigma and Enya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yet another goodbye!
He says Adiós, says Adiós,
And do you know why
She won't break down and cry?
She says Adiós, says Adiós, Goodbye.
One by one my leaves fall.
It's no lie
She is yearning to fly.
She says Adiós, says Adiós,
And now you know why
He's a reason to sigh
She says Adiós, says Adiós, Goodbye.
One by one my leaves fall.
One by one my tales are told.
My, oh my!
She was aiming too high.
He says Adiós, says Adiós,
And now you know why
There's no moon in her sky
He says Adiós, says Adiós, Goodbye.
He says Adiós, says Adiós, Goodbye.
No Goodbyes
For love brightens their eyes.
Don't say Adiós, say Adiós,
And do you know why
There's a love that won't die?
Don't say Adiós, say Adiós, Goodbye.
Don't say Adiós, say Adiós, Goodbye.
Don't say Adiós, say Adiós, Goodbye.
The lyrics of "One by One" by Enigma and Enya revolve around a difficult goodbye between two people who are clearly in love but are forced to part ways for different reasons. The opening lines of the song suggest that the man is leaving and saying goodbye, but the woman is able to remain strong and not show her tears. As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that the parting is not easy for either of them. As the leaves fall, so does their love story, and their tales are told one by one.
The lyrics are filled with contrasts as the man and woman grapple with their emotions. The woman wants to fly, but the man feels that she was aiming too high. The moon is missing from the woman's sky, but the man cannot remain. Despite the sadness and hardship of their parting, the song concludes with an optimistic message that love brightens their eyes and that there is no need for goodbyes. In summary, the song is a heart-wrenching yet empowering ode to love and loss.
