This Will Be Our Year Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the warmth from the sun
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
Don't let go of my hand
Now darkness has gone
This will be our year
And I won't forget
The way you helped me
Up when I was down
And I won't forget
The way you said
Darling I love you
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there
And we've only just begun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come
The warmth of your smile
Smile for me little one
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
You don't have to worry
All your worried days are gone
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
And I won't forget
The way you helped me
Up when I was down
And I won't forget
The way you said
Darling I love you
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there
And we've only just begun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
The Zombies' hit song, "This Will Be Our Year," is an optimistic love song about the promise of the future. The song begins with the comparison of the warmth of love to the warmth of the sun. The warmth of love is comforting and illuminating, just like the sun. The chorus' lyrics “This will be our year, took a long time to come” represents the idea of waiting patiently for good things to come. After each chorus, the song repeats a similar stanza about the support and encouragement provided by the singer's partner, indicating the importance of emotional support and love in achieving your dreams.
The song also emphasizes the idea of leaving behind all the past troubles and worries, as they are now gone. The line "Don't let go of my hand, Now darkness has gone" highlights the importance of holding on to love, especially in times of darkness. The song ends on a high note with the repetition of the chorus, indicating that the wait is finally over, and the future looks bright with the promise of love and companionship.

El calor de tu amor
es como el calor del sol
Y éste será nuestro año
Tomó un largo tiempo en llegar
No me sueltes de la mano
Ahora la oscuridad se ha ido
Este será nuestro año
Tomó un largo tiempo en llegar
Y no voy a olvidar
La forma en que me ayudaste cuando yo estaba abajo
Y no voy a olvidar
La forma en que dijiste: "querida, te amo"
Tú me diste la fe para seguir adelante
Ahora estamos ahí
Y recién empezamos
Este será nuestro año
Tomó un largo tiempo en llegar
El calor de tu sonrisa
Sonríe para mí, pequeño
Y éste será nuestro año
Tomó un largo tiempo en llegar
No tienes que preocuparte
Todos tus días de preocupación se han ido
Y éste será nuestro año
Tomó un largo tiempo en llegar
Y no voy a olvidar
La forma en que me ayudaste cuando yo estaba abajo
Y no voy a olvidar
La forma en que dijiste: "querida, te amo"
Tú me diste la fe para seguir adelante
Ahora estamos ahí
Y recién empezamos
Este será nuestro año
Tomó un largo tiempo en llegar
Y este será nuestro año
Tomó un largo tiempo en llegar

@APTKSU
Yes! (and I'm old enough to have heard it when it came out...) This old dog is always open for a few new tricks.

After seeing the commercial multiple times. I finally decided to identify the song now, and am pleasantly surprised to find it's The Zombies. In fact, I was just thinking of the 'Odyssey And Oracle" album this morning!
@bricra7924
I love when commercials get me hooked on new and old songs I may never knew about!
@Nosirt
Holy shit hahahah same
@emmetrobert4425
One of the finest songs ever from one of the finest bands ever.
@DeltaVe
Couldn't agree more. First heard it in a TV commercial a bit over a year ago, and fell in love. That's how I found the Zombies.
