Just tonight
You're trying so hard to be done
But your eyes
They say you need love
This way you just get loneliness
But not freedom
When all you ever want is one last time

Just only one night
To give love a chance
Just only one night
To teach you romance

Overall Meaning

The Hurricanes' song "Only One Night" is a romantic plea to convince someone who's afraid of love to give it a chance for just one night. The opening lyrics suggest that the person being addressed has been trying hard to distance themselves from love, but their eyes betray a need for it. The singer then suggests that the other person won't find freedom by avoiding love but only loneliness. So, if the person's desire is just one last time, they should use that last moment to fall in love.


The chorus emphasizes that only one night is needed to give love a chance and to learn what romance is. The singer is ready to show the other person a new way to live by daring to give themselves a chance to love. They promise that the love shared tonight will last forever, making it worth it to take the risk.


Overall, the song's message is that love is worth any amount of risk or fear that it may bring. Just one night of giving love a chance may teach someone what they've been missing out on and change their life forever.

Hay bellas canciones en el mundo Eurodisco ó Italodisco, hay 3 temas infaltables en el top 10 del género Joy Peters - Don't Lose Your Heart Tonight, The Hurricanes - Only One Night y Latin Lover - Casanova Action, me gusta todo el género pero estás 3 están ✌️✌️✌️
