Strangers
Vera Vera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Exchanging glances
Wandering the night,
What were the chances
We'd be sharing love
Before the night was through
Something in your eyes
Something in your smile
Was so exciting
Something in my heart
Told me I must have you
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
And ever since that night
We've been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
For strangers in the night.
The song "Strangers in the Night" by Vera Vera is about two strangers wandering the night, exchanging glances and eventually falling in love. The lyrics describe the feeling of being drawn to someone based on their smile, eyes, and body language. The song suggests that sometimes we meet people unexpectedly and fall in love without realizing it at first. The two strangers in the song were lonely and searching for someone to share their love with, and they found each other in the night.
The lyrics evoke a sense of romanticism and adventure. The fact that they were strangers adds to the excitement and unpredictability of the situation. The chorus repeats the phrase "strangers in the night" to emphasize the idea that they were two people who met by chance and whose love story was unexpected. The song portrays a sense of hopefulness and optimism that is common in love songs, and it suggests that love can be found when and where you least expect it.

Strangers in the night,
Two people who have never met before, passing each other by during the night
Exchanging glances
Making eye contact with each other, without saying anything
Wandering the night,
Walking aimlessly during the night, with no particular destination in mind
What were the chances
The probability of two random people meeting each other during the night was very low

Both of them would fall in love before the night ended
Something in your eyes
Her eyes conveyed a positive and inviting emotion
Was so inviting
It was irresistible and gave a strong sense of attraction
Something in your smile
Her smile showed excitement and happiness
Was so exciting
The expressions on her face were filled with joy and anticipation
Something in my heart
My emotions and feelings told me that I had to approach her
Told me I must have you
My inner voice was urging me to talk to her and initiate a relationship
Two lonely people
Both were feeling alone and seeking companionship
Up to the moment
Before the time when
When we said our first hello
The moment when they first talked to each other and introduced themselves
Little did we know
They were not aware of what was about to happen
Love was just a glance away
Heartfelt emotions and romantic feelings were only a few seconds away
A warm embracing dance away
The distance between them was only a dance away
And ever since that night
From that specific moment onwards
We've been together
They have been romantically involved with each other
Lovers at first sight
They fell in love immediately after they met each other
In love forever
They are still in love and committed to each other for the rest of their lives
It turned out so right
Their relationship worked out perfectly
For strangers in the night.
Two strangers who met each other during the night and fell in love
