Whispering
Henri René and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
I know it drives you crazy
When I pretend you don't exist
When I'd like to lean in close
And run my hands against your lips
Still I sense there's a rapport
So whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
I know you see me see you
As you see me walk on past
When there's nothing more I'd like to do
Then come in close and hear you laugh
Though we haven't even spoken
Still I sense there's a rapport
So whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Yea whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Hmm whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
The song "Whispering" by Henri Rene is a romantic song that speaks about the attraction between two people who haven't even spoken yet. The first few lines imply that the singer is seeing an unknown person dressed in blue, and although they are admiring her beauty, they're attempting not to look at her to avoid making her uncomfortable. The following lines suggest that the person in blue is also aware of the singer seeing her and is trying to avoid eye contact.
Despite not having exchanged words yet, there seems to be a growing attraction between the two. The singer admits that it drives him crazy when he pretends to ignore her, and he admits to wanting to touch her lips. The song suggests that the two have some form of rapport or connection without having spoken, which leads the singer to ask her to whisper her phone number. The singer promises not to look and will instead call her up at home, where the two can finally connect over the phone.
The song's lyrics speak to the idea of being attracted to someone without knowing them and making a connection through indirect means. The message highlights the importance of taking the initiative to make a connection with someone, even if it's only through a phone call. The song's melody accentuates the romantic message by adding a soft and slow rhythm, echoing the gentleness of the singer's lyrics.

Don't worry I'm not looking at you
I assure you that I am not staring at you
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
You are extremely attractive and wearing blue clothing
I know it drives you crazy
I am aware that my behavior is frustrating to you
When I pretend you don't exist
I act as if you are not there
When I'd like to lean in close
In reality, I am interested in getting physically closer to you
And run my hands against your lips
I would like to caress your mouth and lips with my hands
Though we haven't even spoken
Despite the fact that we have not talked
Still I sense there's a rapport
I feel a connection between us
So whisper me your number
Please tell me your phone number in a soft, low voice
I'll call you up at home
I will telephone you in your place of residence
I know you see me see you
I understand that you notice me watching you
As you see me walk on past
As I continue to stroll by
When there's nothing more I'd like to do
When all I desire is to approach you
Then come in close and hear you laugh
To come near you and experience the pleasure of your laughter
Hmm whisper me your number
Please softly tell me your telephone number
I'll call you up at home
I will dial your residence and speak with you
