From Russia With Love
Jackie Gleason 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
These lyrics are from the classic James Bond film, "From Russia with Love," which features the music of Lionel Bart and is sung by the famous comedian Jackie Gleason. The song is a romantic ballad about a man who has traveled the world but cannot forget the woman he left back in Russia. The lyrics describe the man's newfound wisdom and understanding of love, having left her behind, but ultimately he knows he must return to her.
The first verse describes the man's travels and experiences since he left Russia, but it also shows that he has grown and learned from his time away. However, despite seeing new places and meeting new people, he cannot forget the woman who still haunts him. The second verse describes his feelings for her and how he had to keep them hidden in case she didn't share the same feelings towards him. But when he returns to Russia, he realizes that his running around is over and he will go straight to her, from Russia with love.
The song perfectly captures the essence of the film and the romance between Bond and the Russian woman, Tatiana. It showcases Jackie Gleason's vocal abilities, adding depth and emotion to the lyrics.
