Begin The Beguine (Cole Porter)

Cole Porters 'Begin The Beguine', maar wie is dat op deze amateurbeelden van Kamaran Abdulla? Enkele van zijn medespelers (?) zijn ook even in beeld.

When they begin
the beguine
it brings back the sound
of music so tender
it brings back a night
of tropical splendor
it brings back a memory of green

I'm with you once more
under the stars
and down by the shore
an orchestras playing
and even the palms
seem to be swaying
when they begin
the beguine

to live it again
is past all endeavor
except when that tune
clutches my heart
and there we are swearing to love forever
and promising never
never to part

a moments divine
what rapture serene
to clouds came along
to disperse the joys we had tasted
and now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean

so dont let them begin the beguine
let the love that was once a fire
remain an ember
let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
when they begin the beguine

oh yes let them begin the beguine
make them play
til the stars that were there before
return above you
till you whisper to me
once more darling I love you
and we suddenly know what heaven we're in
when they begin
the beguine

Why do I feel like I'm looking through a keyhole?

[zaynit]

Because you're not interested in the contents but just in technicalities?

[SeniorProperNoun]

I thought it was pleasant. Thanks for posting this.

@zaynit

Are you emplying that I can only perceive the technical aspects of a video? Again, you're wrong, I live, eat, and breath this stuff. And you need to work on your American accent a bit sry...

Thank you--absolutely beautiful. I love Cole Porter. The tunes, lyrics, and melody are so romantic. We don't have music like that today.
