"At first glance" en letras

Raffaella Carrà - Pedro

At one point, during my walk
A young boy called me over
At first glance he looked prim and proper
And offered to guide me around the city.

Miyagi & Andy Panda (Endspiel) - YAMAKASI

I had the best intentions, that's the fact,
It's either the desperation or I've made a fool out of myself,
Or it's both. At first glance both heaven and hell are here,
Click-clack, brother, as long as the word's bullets

Elvis Presley - Are You Lonesome Tonight?

And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your lines so cleverly and never missed a cue

Lana Del Rey - Get Free

And hopin' for an end to them
Their arches are illusions
Solid at first glance
But then you try to touch them (touch, touch)

Creepy Nuts - Bling-Bang-Bang-Born

Shedding my skin еvery day as usual (Bling, bling, bling)
Don't need anyone's spotlight, your ice is icier than mine (Icy)
I may seem like I can't do much at first glance, but very happy
Oh, getting angry... everyone around is amazed

Adie - Muse

At first glance, I'm already obsessed
In your shining eyes
You are a star from heaven

Giorgio Gaber - The Conformist

I am
a new man
so new that you can see at first glance I'm the new conformist.

EMO Band - wherever you are

let your hand by my hand, i am tired of all without you
you know better than anyone , that you are in my mind wherever i am
what did you do with my heart that i missed you at first glance

tripleS - Detective Soseol

Hidden clues in your eyes
I turn my head to you
Uh, I felt it at first glance
That you had stolen a glance at me too

Dayte tank (!) - Words - parasites

[Narrator's aria 4]
Welcome to the usual forest
But I'm lying, of course it is usual only at first glance
There is suspiciously quiet. It is a result of the magic

Jaxomy - Pedro

At a certain point of the walk
A boy calls me from one side
At first glance he seemed so respectable
He offers to act as a guide around the city

Zaz - To exist

It's not right to say: "I love you"
Being friends at first glance,
It's not right,

Haris Alexiou - For One Single Tango

For our romantic figures on the ballroom parquet -
With the guests all stepping back from the heat
That flows from our souls from the very first beat.1

  • 1. στο πρίμα βίστα is the Greek way of rendering the Italian phrase "a prima vista," which literally means "at first glance." The Italian phrase has the secondary meaning "sight read," i.e. the ability of a skilled musician to produce music simply by reading the score without having ever heard it performed before by anyone else. The Italianate phrase works metaphorically here to indicate the immediate way the bodies of this song's two characters respond to each other on the dance floor. Greek has its own expressions for situations where love or some other outcome happens very rapidly and naturally. For instance Ερωτευτήκανε με την πρώτη ματιά means "They fell in love at first sight." And Έμαθε ποδήλατο με την πρώτη means "He learned to ride the bicycle with the first try." I assume that the lyricist preferred the Italianate phrase στο πρίμα βίστα here because βίστα produces an end-rhyme with πίστα from line 2 of this verse.

NCT WISH - Silly Dance

Like a dance that missed the beat
I keep on Ayo ayo
Feels like I fell at first glance
Though I have two eyes

Miyagi & Andy Panda (Endspiel) - Last time

because he doesn’t have the family, alas.

This empty, at first glance, tired soldier gives rise,
and you're used to not to trust him.

Miyagi & Andy Panda (Endspiel) - Yamakasi

I wanted it to be better, that's a fact
Darkness, or got into a mess
Or this and that, at first glance, here's both paradise and hell
Click-clack, while it flickers, brother

Marco Mengoni - Another Story

We're two lost kids
that recognised each other at first glance.
Hours, seconds and minutes

Tatsuya Kitani - When The Weak Go Marching In

A sham happiness that looks beautiful at first glance
Revealed its true colors
Behind a thin layer of skin
Something grotesque was moaning

Sergej Ćetković - At first glance

I fell in love with you at first glance
When I first touched you, I had already given you my life
From the first moment, when you covered my soul with your smile,
My heart only thinks about you

Yinglee SriJumpol - Your heart for my number

Only at first glance and I know you are the one
Really want to tell you how cute you are
But I’m still a lady so it won’t be appropriate to do that
So I could only act as if I’m not interested
