Begin The Beguine
Samaroo Jets Lyrics

When they begin the beguine
The start of the beguine music brings back memories of a wonderful tropical night that was filled with music so tender and precious.

It brings back the sound of music so tender
The start of the beguine music reminds the singer of a beautiful and memorable night filled with gentle music.

It brings back a night of tropical splendor
The singer remembers a wonderful night spent in a tropical location that was full of beauty and wonder.

It brings back a memory ever green
The sound of the beguine music brings a memory that is always fresh in the singer's mind.

I'm with you once more under the stars
The singer feels like they are with their loved one again under the stars while listening to the beguine music.

And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
An orchestra is playing music down by the shore, adding to the romantic atmosphere of the night.

And even the palms seem to be swaying
The palms along the shore seem to be swaying to the rhythm of the music, as though they are a part of the orchestra.

To live it again is past all endeavor
It seems impossible to relive that magical night in reality.

Except when that tune clutches my heart
The beguine music has the power to touch the heart of the singer and evoke powerful emotions.

And there we are, swearing to love forever
The singer and their loved one are together, promising to love each other forever and never to part.

And promising never, never to part
The promise they make is to stay together forever and never let anything come between them.

What moments divine, what rapture serene
The singer reflects on the wonderful and peaceful moments shared with their loved one during that unforgettable night.

Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
The happy memories from that night were eventually interrupted by sadness or other negative things.

And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
When the singer hears people regretting missed opportunities in love, they understand how it feels.

I know but too well what they mean
The singer empathizes with those who regret missed romantic chances because they have felt the same way before.

So don't let them begin the beguine
The singer is afraid that the beguine music will bring back powerful emotions that they may not be ready to face again.

Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
The singer suggests that it might be better to let the love from that night fade to just a small flame rather than reignite it and risk getting hurt again.

Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
The memory of that night can remain a sweet but distant memory rather than something that is brought back to life.

Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them play
The singer cannot resist the beguine music and wants to hear it again, despite the risk of being hurt by the memories it invokes.

Till the stars that were there before return above you
The singer wants to relive that magical night again, with the stars shining above them once more.

Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
The singer longs to hear their loved one say those words to them again, and to feel the same emotions they did on that wonderful night.

Then we suddenly know what heaven we're in
The singer believes that if they can relive that magical night again, they will be in a paradise-like state once more.

When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the powerful emotions that the beguine music brings back for the singer.
