Midnight Tango
SAL NURRITO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To hover near your window and I'll call
You’ll wake and smile with secret understanding
As all your old restrictions break and fall
I’ll take your hand and fly us ‘till tomorrow
A fairy tale of love and mystery
Where starlight laser cauterizes sorrow
Look out and see the sky – becoming clearer
Imagine what’s beyond the rainbow’s arc
I’m there above the clouds – I'm coming nearer
To dance a midnight tango in the dark
Behind the shadows you will hear me calling
Obey your heart and open to my plea
We’ll fly together, laughing, loving, falling
To softly land in silver moonlit sea
So shiver in your dreams as i come creeping
We’ll fly upon a wish we lovers share
To work a magic spell as you are sleeping
When you wake up tomorrow, I'll be there
Look out and see the sky – becoming clearer
Imagine what’s beyond the rainbow’s arc
I’m there above the clouds – I'm coming nearer
To dance a midnight tango in the dark
The lyrics of Sal Nurruto's "Midnight Tango" are romantic and dreamy, as they evoke the fantasy of a lover flying on a carpet to visit their beloved. The first stanza suggests that the singer hopes that carpets really can fly so they can visit their lover by floating near their window. The lover will understand the significance of their visit, and the song implies that their love will be free of any restrictions that may have previously bound them.
The second stanza continues to describe the singer's desire to be with their lover. They will fly away together into a fairytale world where their love can flourish. The lyrics speak of the stars, suggesting that the lovers' love will shine brightly and overcome any sorrows, leaving them both in a state of ecstasy. The lyrics go on to describe the glories of that world, including a rainbow, above which the singer will dance with their lover.
The third stanza touches on the idea of the singer's lover hearing them call out as they creep up to their window, urging them to follow their heart and come with them. The idea of falling in love, experiencing new things together, and landing in a sea lit by a silver moon is romantic and magical. The final lines convey the idea that their love transcends time, and while the singer disappears after a night of dancing on a carpet, they will return to their lover's arms as soon as they wake up the next day.
