Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you no longer care
The breeze and I are whispering goodbye
To dreams we used to share
Ours was a love song that seemed constant as the moon
Ending in a strange, mournful tune
And all about me, they know you have departed without me
The breeze and I
The lyrics to Manny Lopez and His Orchestra's song "Andalucia" tell a story of love lost and the sorrow that accompanies it. The breeze and the singer are both mourning the end of their relationship, which they had thought was as constant as the moon. The song paints a picture of a love song that has ended in a mournful tune, leaving the singer wondering why their lover has left them behind. The subtle use of personification - the breeze and I - creates empathy between the natural world and the singer's own pain, and emphasizes how deeply their loss is being felt.

The breeze and I are saying with a sigh
The wind and I express a sad feeling
That you no longer care
That you no longer care about me
The breeze and I are whispering goodbye
The wind and I say goodbye in a soft voice
To dreams we used to share
To the dreams that we used to have together
Ours was a love song that seemed constant as the moon
Our love was like a song that never changed, like the moon
Ending in a strange, mournful tune
But now it has ended in a strange, sorrowful way
And all about me, they know you have departed without me
Everyone around me knows that you left me behind
And we wonder why, the breeze and I
And we both wonder why we are left alone
The breeze and I
The wind and I
