Smoke gets in your eyes
K.Weill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

*Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know (see) you're the only one
I'll ever love

Too many nights, too many stars
Too many moons could change your mind
If I'm gone too long
Don't forget where you belong
When the stars come out
Remember you are mine

(repeat *)

Too many miles, too many days
Too many nights to be alone
Oh please keep your heart
While we're apart
Don't't linger in the moonlight
While I'm gone





(repeat *)

Overall Meaning

The song Smoke Gets In Your Eyes was composed by Jerome Kern and the lyrics are written by Otto Harbach. However, this version of the song was arranged by Kurt Weill, which gives it a distinct melancholic and nostalgic tone. The song is essentially a love song that talks about holding on to love and not letting the stars and moon affect it. The opening line, "Don't let the stars get in your eyes," is a warning against getting overpowered by romantic illusions and to cherish the love that exists.


The song talks about how love thrives in the dark, symbolized by the stars and the moon, but with the arrival of daylight, it dies a natural death. The lyrics suggest that the only way to keep love alive is to hold on to it and not let the external forces have a say in it. The lines, "Too many nights, too many stars, too many moons could change your mind," suggest that the singer is aware of the fickleness of love and wants their lover to hold on to the idea of their love no matter what.


The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer promising to return and reassuring their lover that they are the only one they will ever love. Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of the importance of holding on to love, especially in the face of uncertainty and change.

Don't let our love fade or be replaced

During the time we are separated


Don't't linger in the moonlight
Don't be tempted by fleeting romantic encounters while I am gone


While I'm gone
For the duration of the time I am away

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I, of course, replied
"Something here inside
Cannot be denied" (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
They said, "Someday you'll find
All who love are blind"
Oh-oh-oh-oh
When your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So, I chaffed them
As I gaily laughed
To think they would doubt our love
Yet today, my love has gone away
I am without my love (without my love)
Now, laughing friends deride
Tears, I cannot hide
Oh-oh-oh-oh
So, I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes"
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes

У нас эта песня известна с другим текстом.
Мы встретились с тобой
ночью голубой,
И окутал нас
облаком своим
яблонь нежный дым.
Дым,
все скрывает дым
Счастьем молодым,
Вся душа полна
Дымкой золотой
Призрачного сна.
Жизнь прошла,
и нет в душе тепла,
Любви отзвучал напев.
Яблонь цвет замёл
твой лёгкий след,
С ветвей давно слетев.

Дым,
всё скрывает дым,
Я одна в саду,
Где крылом седым
Всё окутал кругом
Скорби горький дым.
Жизнь прошла,
и нет в душе тепла,
Любви отзвучал напев.
Яблонь цвет замёл
твой лёгкий след,
С ветвей давно слетев.
Дым,
все скрывает дым,
Я одна в саду,
Где крылом седым
Всё окутал кругом
Светлой грусти дым...

Любимая песня моей мамы! Она даже учила ради нее английский язык, чтобы петь ее в оригинале. Большое спасибо! Прекрасное исполнение, лучшее из того, что мы нашли в ютубе!!!

Ээх, помню время, когда играл в оркестре. Мы его на сцене играли . Тогда весь зал аплодировал стоя 😌

Обожаю эту песню. Помню и акктмпанировала её для вокалистки и сама с наслаждением пела. Пальцы за 20 лет много чего забыли, а эту музыку помнят.. Красиво и чарующе 🌹❤️
