Speak softly love

[석수]

"Speak Softly Love" by The Whispers is a beautiful and heartfelt love song that explores the intimate and tender moments shared by two individuals deeply in love.


Through its poetic lyrics, the song depicts a world where love is a sanctuary, a place of warmth and connection that only a select few have experienced.


The opening lines, "Speak softly, love / And hold me warm against your heart," immediately set the tone for the song. The narrator longs for the gentle words and affectionate embrace of their partner, seeking solace and comfort in their presence. The words themselves have a trembling quality, emphasizing the vulnerability and power of love to evoke strong emotions.


The line, "We're in a world, our very own," implies a sense of exclusivity and uniqueness. It suggests that their love transcends the ordinary and mundane, creating a sphere solely inhabited by their intense connection. This sentiment is reinforced by the following line, "Sharing a love that only few have ever known," emphasizing the rarity and specialness of their relationship. Their love becomes the envy of others who have never experienced such depth and intensity.
The imagery of "Wine-colored days warmed by the sun / Deep velvet nights when we are one" adds richness to the song. It paints a picture of idyllic moments spent together, where the day's warmth is imbued with the intoxication of wine, and the nights are filled with a profound sense of unity. The choice of colors enhances the sensual nature of their love, evoking feelings of passion and comfort.
As the song continues, it reiterates the importance of maintaining secrecy and intimacy. The lines, "Speak softly, love / So no one hears us but the sky," convey the desire to keep their love hidden from the world and only share it with each other and the vastness of the universe. This secrecy enhances the allure and intimacy of their connection, making it even more precious.
The vows of love made in this sacred space are portrayed as eternal: "The vows of love we make / Will live until we die." It suggests a lifelong commitment to each other, promising unwavering devotion until the end of their days. The depth of their love is further emphasized with the line, "My life is yours and all because / You came into my world," implying that their partner has transformed and enriched their existence.
In the final repetition of the chorus, the longing and tenderness are once again highlighted, as the narrator implores their partner to "Speak softly, love." It's a powerful plea for continued affection and connection, reinforcing the song's theme of closeness and vulnerability.


Overall, "Speak Softly Love" by The Whispers is a poetic and evocative exploration of deep love, capturing the intimacy, secrecy, and rare beauty found in a profound romantic connection. It celebrates the tenderness and vulnerability that love brings and expresses the enduring nature of their devotion.


Speak Softly, Love


"Speak Softly, Love" is the main theme music from The Godfather. It was written by Larry Kusic and Nino Rota. It is also known as "Love Theme from The Godfather"
The theme appears numerous times in the film, usually as an instrumental piece, although it is sung by an old woman in The Godfather Part II and again by Anthony Corleone in The Godfather Part III, who claims it is an "authentic Sicilian ballad" called "Brucia La Terra".


It has also been released by several artists, including Andy Williams, Bobby Vinton and Al Martino, who plays Johnny Fontane.
Dalida performed the French version "Parle plus bas". "Brucia La Terra" was recorded by Gian Campione and can be found at the album "Calura" from 2009.
It was also released by Patrick Buanne as "Parla più piano", which is the translation of the song in Italian.

Lyrics

Speak softly, Love, and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known

Wine-colored days, warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights, when we are one

Speak softly, Love, so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours, and all because
You came into my world with love so softly, Love

(instrumental interlude)

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours, and all because
You came into my world with love "so softly, Love"
