The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The violins were warm and sweet, and so were you Mam'selle.
And as the night danced by, a kiss became a sigh,
Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle just like wine does
No heart ever yearned the way that mine does for you.
And yet I know too well someday you'll say goodbye,
Then violins will cry, and so will I Mam'selle.
The Rat Pack's song Mam'selle tells the story of a romantic rendezvous in a small cafe with a woman named Mam'selle. The violins playing in the background create a warm and sweet atmosphere, reflecting the feelings between the two lovers. As the night goes on, their affection for each other grows, and a kiss becomes a sigh. The woman's lovely eyes seem to sparkle, just like wine does, and the singer's heart yearns for her more and more.
However, the singer knows that their time together is limited, as Mam'selle will eventually say goodbye. The melancholic tone suggests that the singer will be heartbroken, and even the violins will cry along with him. This song captures the fleeting nature of love, and how even the most beautiful moments can come to an end.
Overall, Mam'selle is a poetic and emotional composition that showcases the Rat Pack's ability to convey deep feelings through music. The lyrics evoke a bittersweet feeling of love and loss, which is further amplified by the haunting melody and the singer's soulful voice.
