Misheard Lyrics Story:
|
"The Carnival Is Over"
Misheard Lyrics: But the joys of love I'm greeting
Going now and far and by. Original Lyrics: But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Natasha When I first heard this song, the above misheard version was as near as I could come to making it out. This is one case where I first learned the correct lyrics by seeing them cited in a previous submission to amiright.com. Others have commented on the mystery and obscurity of the reference to Pierrot and Columbine. But I looked up those terms and found that they are names for two stock-character lovers in miming. That reveals how, in this song, they become symbols of two erstwhile lovers, lamenting the short-lived nature of their love, symbolized by the ephemeral nature of a carnival and the fling of two performing there as lovers. |
