Hi. This is Tutor Nick P and this is Music
Lyrics Explained 15. Okay,  and the song
today is "Strangers in the Night. " Okay. 
Let's take a look at the note here. This
song of course is a famous very,  very
famous classic sung by Frank Sinatra. The
song is about two strangers meeting by
chance and falling in love,  and this is
one of those songs where you often hear
like you especially older people or senior citizens reminiscing about
you know,  how years ago we used to have a
lot more really songs that were just
really romantic and they just focused on
romance and this is kind of one of those
songs. Anyway,  like usual I'm going to read
the lyrics and I'll go over any
vocabulary that needs to explain or be
explained more. Okay. So let's go on. Let's
start. Of course. The title "Strangers in
the Night. " That's kind of like the first
line and here we go.
Strangers in the night. Exchanging
glances. Wondering in the night. What were
the chances ? We'd be sharing love , before
the night was through. All right. Let's
cover that first. A Stranger of course is someone you don't know. You just meet. I don't know
A lot of people might
have a fantasy, they just meet somebody
somewhere in a park or a bar or
somewhere. And you know that's it. You
fall in love.  that was the one you were
meant to be with..
So strangers in the night,  probably a
little more romantic at night. Exchanging
glances. All right. Let's look at this..  
You know we hear the word exchange used
in a lot of ways but not often this way
you know,  so we say exchange if you
exchange a look or glance,  you look at
somebody who is looking at you. So that's
all that means. So if you exchange looks
or you exchanged a glance
it means you made eye contact.  And,  and we
often see this in movies,  you know,  this
is one way to express you know, 
somebody's either flirting or falling in
love. They look up and they see each
other. And yeah,  looks are going back and
forth. It  might be the beginning of 
either flirting or falling in love. All
right. Let's go on. So strangers in the
night , exchanging glances,  wondering in
the night. What were the chances ?  Well to
wonder if you wonder about something you
think about it, you think about it deeply
you know,  wanting to know the answer or
wanting to know the facts of the truth
about something. So you'll wonder about
it. Wondering what would the chances ? So
the chances means that the likelihood of
something happening. What's,  what's the
chances I might meet somebody and  fall in
love today ? Okay. Well I don't know. You
know, you if you had that idea every
day I don't know maybe maybe you'd be
more hopeful I guess. Well, all right. Let's go
on. So wondering in the night, 
what were the chances , we'd be sharing
love before the night was through. All
right. Well I guess, they met , they fell in
love and they were sharing love before
the night was through. The first day they
met.  Well that must have been some pretty
strong attraction. All right.
Let's go on though. Here are the next
lines. Something,  something in your eyes
was so inviting.  Something in your smile
was so exciting. Something in my heart
told me I must have you. All right. That's
basically the way it  goes.  So something in
your eyes you know,  looking maybe he got
some body language,  that she liked him.
Was so inviting. All right.  We say, it's
inviting. Something that is inviting is
attractive and tempting. Tempting you
making you want to experience it.
Experiencing it. So if her eyes were
inviting. They're like pulling. They're
like attracting you. So something in your
eyes was so inviting. Something in your
smile was so exciting. You know,  something
in my heart told me I must have you. So I
don't know I guess they this is it
they're falling in love. All right and
then of course it goes on. Again
strangers in the night.  This is the main
chorus,  Two lonely people we were
strangers in the night. Up to that moment
when we said our first hello,  little did
we know,  love was just a glance away. A
woman embracing  dance away. All right . So
let's cover all that. Two lonely people
of course,  you know, neither one was
committed to anyone else. We were
strangers in the night. Up to that moment, 
Like right up to that point. Up to that
moment. When we said our first hello. 
So finally maybe their eyes met and
maybe they eventually you know,  they said
hello. Little did we know.  All right.  We do
use this phrase in many,  many ways. 
Little did one know.  Little did one think.
Little did one realize. This idiom is
used to show that someone did not know
or realize something is true. Yes.  So
it's usually when you're telling a story
and at one point in the story somebody
didn't realize something or know
something. Sometimes it's used for bad
things do you know like in a store you
might say little did he know that was
his last day. You know,  like maybe he was
gonna die later or something like that. 
So or a little that he realize, you know,
you know,  the danger that lurked. Or so
but anyway it could be used in positive
way or any way like this. So up to that
moment when we said out first hello,
little did we know. This is a good thing
of course. Love was just a glance away a
warm embracing dance away. So,  well you
know,  looking at each other and I don't
know at what point they started dancing. 
But a warm embracing,  embracing of course.
So that's usually....  we often use embrace
more when there's love and there is romance. It
is a kind of a hug. It means to hold
someone tightly with both arms to
express love , especially when somebody
holds somebody you know tightly and they
hold for a little longer. We usually say
that's an embrace. Okay. A warm embracing
dance away and then of course there's an
and,  and ever since that night, we've been
together. 
Lovers at first sight , in love forever. It
turned out so right , for strangers in the
night. So this is a happy one. Everything
worked out and kind of sounds like they
lived happily ever after.
I'm sure they had some problems,  but you
know,  all in all. It's pretty good. Ever
since that night,  we've been together. 
Yeah. So that was it. They met that night.
They became a couple,  that night. And of
course,  we do use this phrase.  I think I
covered this in an idiom video too. Love at
first sight. An example of two people
falling in love upon meeting one another. 
So you fall in love right away. It doesn't
happen a little lot. It probably happens in
the movies more. Not impossible there
could be a few instances of it. But
usually takes more time. So yeah. So let's
repeat that part one more time. Ever
since ever,  since that night we've been
together.  Lovers at first sight in love
forever.  It turned out so right. So
they're lucky it turned out right. You
know everything worked out the way you
hoped or wished. So right for strangers in
the night. And then then it goes into the
kind of like an instrumental part where
you don't hear any lyrics. And then it
just kind of fades away at the end there.  With
repeating part of the chorus.  So,  love was
just the glance away, a warm embracing
dance away.  And ever since that night , and
that's pretty much it. So anyway,  I hope
you enjoyed it. It's a really old classic,
love song. And okay. Well I hope you got
it.  I hope it was enjoyable. Thank you for
your time. Bye-bye.
