April in Portugal
Jane Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we discovered romance, like we never knew.
My head was in the clouds, My heart went crazy too,
And madly I said: "I love you."
Too soon I heard you say:
"This dream is for a day"
That's Portugal and love in April!
Those tears I know so well,
They told me it was spring fooling me.
I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like I never knew.
Then morning brought the rain,
And now my dream is through
But still my heart says "I love you."
This sad reality, To know it couldn't be,
That's Portugal and love in April!
The music and the wine convinced me you were mine,
But it was just the spring fooling me.
I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like I never knew.
Then morning brought the rain,
And now my dream is through
But still my heart says "I love you."
The song "April in Portugal" by Jane Morgan is a beautiful and sentimental tune that tells the story of a short-lived romance that blossomed during a springtime vacation in Portugal. The first verse describes the excitement and passion that the singer felt when she met her lover in Portugal, noting that she found her "April dream" with him. She sings of the heady feeling of falling in love for the first time, with her heart "going crazy" and her head "in the clouds." The chorus emphasizes her deep feelings for her lover, despite the fact that she knows their relationship may not have longevity.
The second verse takes a more melancholy turn, as the reality of their fleeting romance sinks in. Her lover tells her that their dream is "for a day," and the showers that come with April remind her of the bitter tears that often accompany heartbreak. The third verse continues in this vein, with the singer recognizing that her love affair was just a momentary fling. Nevertheless, she sings of her enduring love for her former lover, even though her dream is over.
Overall, "April in Portugal" is a poignant and bittersweet portrait of a romance that burned hot and bright but was ultimately doomed to fail. The lyrics capture the emotional high points of falling in love and the crushing low points of heartbreak, making it a universal song that speaks to anyone who has ever loved and lost.

Love her voice. Never mind the song, she makes it seem like she's singing just to me on a patio while we're on vacation together somewhere in Europe.
