We've Only Just Begun

Richard Clayderman's 'We've Only Just Begun' is a heartfelt ode to the beginning of a new chapter in life, often interpreted as the start of a marriage or a significant relationship. The song opens with the imagery of 'white lace and promises,' evoking the purity and commitment associated with wedding vows. The line 'A kiss for luck and we're on our way' signifies the hopeful and optimistic start of this journey, emphasizing that this is just the beginning of a long and fulfilling path together.

The lyrics continue to paint a picture of a couple embarking on their life together, with 'so many roads to choose' and the metaphor of 'walking and learning to run.' This suggests the gradual progression and growth that comes with shared experiences and mutual support. The repetition of 'we've just begun' reinforces the idea that the future is wide open and full of potential, highlighting the excitement and anticipation of what lies ahead.

The chorus, or 'REFRÃO,' emphasizes the importance of partnership and communication in this journey. 'Sharing horizons that are new to us' and 'watching the signs along the way' suggest a sense of adventure and discovery, while 'talking it over just the two of us' underscores the significance of open dialogue and teamwork. The song concludes with a sense of contentment and forward-looking optimism, as the couple smiles at the end of the day, knowing that 'so much of life' is still ahead and that they will 'find a place where there's room to grow.' This final sentiment encapsulates the essence of the song: a celebration of new beginnings and the promise of a bright future together.
