Can You Feel The Love Tonight
Original Broadway Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me huelo lo peor
Porque ese par se va a enamorar
Volvemos a ser dos
La brisa de la noche
La luna y su color
El clásico romance
And can you feel the love this night
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Quisiera ser sincero
No sé qué voy a hacer
Decirle la verdad o no
Hay mucho que esconder
Qué habrá que esconder
No puedo comprender
Por qué no quieres ser quien debes ser
Él ve que creo en él
And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight (tonight)
How it's laid to rest (rest)
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Se perderá
Sus alas de hoy
Y todo por amor
The first two lines of the song imply that someone is in denial about what is happening. They smell trouble and know that two people are about to fall in love which will change the current situation of the person singing the song. The lyrics refer to this person and another as a pair which is on the verge of falling in love, and this realization causes the singer to go back to being just one. The next four lines describe a classic romantic scene of the night, the moon, and its color, and the accidents that usually accompany love. This phrase acts as a contrast to the first verse. The first one is about the present, and the second one talks about the nostalgic feeling of love.
The chorus of the song stresses the powerful energy that love has. The lyrics mention that “where we are” is enough for the person who is called “wide-eyed wanderer” showing the embodiment of the high hope that one feels while being in love. The song further suggests that love can make even the worst situations feel better and make individuals believe in the best. The lyrics “It’s enough” also signify the way love can unify people easily, without focusing much on what is beyond control.
In the third verse, the singer is caught between opening up and hiding the truth from someone. They claim that they don’t know what to do and whether to reveal the truth or not. The following lyrics suggest that hiding things could lead to misunderstandings and confusion. The line “He sees that I believe in him" signifies that the person in the song has faith in their friend and wants the best for them. The song stresses the power of love and how it can change everything, even the wings of an angel.

I love this performance with Heather Headley and Jason Raize, and the latter's interpretation of Simba is so sweet. :) R.I.P. Jason Raize :(

Jason had so much ahead of him, so much he could have done. I'm sad because he must have been in so much emotional pain to have taken his life. When I look into his eyes in the interview he looks like a child. I still cry when I see any of these videos of his work, I'm crying now. I hope you are in a kinder gentler place now Jason. You are missed.

Mr. Stars Really dude? Was that necessary?

Two people, no effect, no props, no choreo, just singing. But it feels deep to my heart. I love the way he act when she touches his lion face.

I so wish that I had been able to see these two perform ... the chemistry between them is just right for their characters and they do an awsome job ... I am glad that I can still hear them sing these songs and I can almost feel like I am there .... Jason will be missed

Jason Raize gives me the chills and the thrills every time I watch him in these videos or bootlegs of the show. He is the best portrayal of Simba in any Lion King thing, in my opinion. He really is The Lion King. He will be deeply missed.
