From Russia With Love
Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Much wiser since my goodbye to you
I've travelled the world to learn
I must return
From Russia with love
I've seen places, faces
And smile for a moment
Still, my tongue tied young bride
Would not let my love for you show
In case you'd say "No"
To Russia I flew but there and then
I suddenly knew you'd care again
My running around is through
I'd fly to you
From Russia with love
The song "From Russia with Love" by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra is a beautiful track that is a tribute to the power of love. The song tells the story of a man who travels around the world, only to realize that he must return to his beloved back in Russia. The lyrics beautifully convey the emotions of the singer, who is much wiser after his goodbye to his love. He has seen many places and faces but no one can match the one he loves.
The lyrics also bring out the vulnerability of the singer's love, who was afraid of expressing his love for fear of rejection. His "tongue tied young bride" wouldn't let him express his feelings, lest his love is not reciprocated. When he flies to Russia, he suddenly knows that his love will care for him again, and his running around is through.
