Fools Fall In Love
Original Broadway Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stalling, I am falling, love is calling why be shy
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love




Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love

Overall Meaning

The song "Fools Fall In Love" by Original Broadway Cast is an upbeat and cheerful tune that talks about the feeling of falling in love. The first stanza sets the stage for the song by suggesting that the two people singing might have been meant for each other. The line "To be or not to be, let our hearts discover" illustrates the uncertainty of the situation and the desire to take a chance and find out if they are meant to be together. The next line "I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing, I don't know why" highlights the nervousness and apprehension one may possess when falling in love. The singer is trying to hide their feelings but is eventually overcome by their emotions.


The chorus then takes over, suggesting that there is no reason not to fall in love. The line "Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance, why be afraid of it" illustrates that love is a natural thing that we should embrace rather than fear. The chorus tells the story of two people who have the potential to make a perfect match but are hesitant to take the leap. However, the overriding message of the song is that love is worth the risk and that we should take a chance while we are still young enough to enjoy it.

Fools fall in love in a hurry
Fools give their hearts much too soon
play them two bars of stardust
Just hang out one silly moon
Oh! They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool I used to laugh but now I understand
shake the hand of a brand new fool

Fools fall in love just like schoolgirls
Blinded by rose colored dreams
They build their castles on wishes
With only rainbows for beams
Oh! They're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh but now I understand
shake the hand of a brand new fool

I cant help falling in love
fools fall in love like I do
I cant help falling in love like a fool
so shake the hand of a brand new fool

사랑을 꿈꾸며 설레는
바보같은 사람들
한줄기에 달빛에 취해
사랑을 속삭이고
그마음을숨기지못해
별빛에들키고마는
바보같은 그런사람들
어느새
나도 바보야
분홍빛산랑에빠져
아이가된바보들
소원에모래성쌓고
무지개다릴짓고 곧사라질환상을꿈꾸며 이현실은 잊어버린
아이같은 그런사람들
어느새나도바보야
사랑에빠지는건
바보가된다해도
너만을 사랑해

바보야
어느새나도 바보야

Fools fall in love in a hurry
Fools give their hearts much too soon
Just put in two bars of stardust
Just hang out one silly moon
Oh! They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool
Fools fall in love just like schoolgirls
Blinded by rose colored dreams
They build their castles on wishes
With only rainbows for beams
Oh! They're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool
All right!
They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool
Take a look at a brand new fool
