The Smile
Schiller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is a smile, a smile upon your face.
I wonder why, why you're full of grace.
There was a time, my feeling was replaced.
I want to hide, hide in your embrace.

There is a smile, a smile upon your face.
I wonder why, why you're full of grace.
There was a time, my feeling was replaced.
I want to hide, hide in your embrace.





Overall Meaning

The opening line of Schiller's song The Smile points to a gentle expression on someone's face. The smile might be a manifestation of happiness or inner peace. The singer is in awe of the person with that smile and cannot fathom why they radiate with such grace. The grace could be a reflection of the person's personality, confidence or their achievements. But the singer is intrigued by that grace and what could be the reason behind it.


At some point in the past, the singer had feelings for the person with the smile. The feelings, however, were replaced or overshadowed by something else. Perhaps the person with the smile found love elsewhere or became preoccupied with other things. Regardless, the singer is still enamored with the person and wants to be close to them again. In the last line of the song, the singer expresses a desire to take refuge in the embrace of the person with the smile, to feel the warmth, comfort, and safety of that embrace.


Line by Line Meaning

There is a smile, a smile upon your face.
Your face shows a smile that I can see.


I wonder why, why you're full of grace.
I am curious as to why you exude such grace and elegance.


There was a time, my feeling was replaced.
Something changed in me and my previous feelings are no longer present.


I want to hide, hide in your embrace.
I desire to find refuge and comfort in your loving embrace.

There is a smile, a smile upon your face.
I wonder why, why you're full of grace.
There was a time, my feeling was replaced.
I want to hide, hide in your embrace.

There is a smile, a smile upon your face.
I wonder why, why you're full of grace.
There was a time, my feeling was replaced.
I want to hide, hide in your embrace.

Apenas se vê bem com o coração, pois nas horas graves os olhos ficam cegos.!!!

Há um sorriso, um sorriso em seu rosto
Pergunto-me porque, porque você é cheio de graça
Houve um tempo, em que meu sentimento foi substituído
Quero me esconder, me esconder em seu abraço...

Há um sorriso, um sorriso em seu rosto
Pergunto-me porque, porque você é cheio de graça
Houve um tempo, em que meu sentimento foi substituído
Quero me esconder, me esconder em seu abraço

belissimo video lindo demais parabens boa tarde khorshed
