《Begin The Beguine》是美國聲樂組合The Flamingos於1959年8月11日發行的流行歌曲，翻唱自作曲家科爾·波特1935年創作的同名爵士標準曲。作品以拉丁舞曲節奏為基底，融合了20世紀中期流行音樂與搖擺樂風格，收錄於多張專輯並推出多個重製版本。
歌曲以“beguine”舞曲為隱喻，通過熱帶星夜、海岸樂隊的意象再現逝去愛情的回憶。歌詞以第一人稱視角回溯熱戀時的誓言與分離的遺憾，藉助“雲朵驅散歡愉”“星辰重現”等隱喻交織甜蜜與感傷的雙重情感。旋律通過舒緩節奏與和聲編排呼應時空交錯的敘事結構，在反覆吟唱中升華音樂與記憶的主題聯結。

歌曲歌詞
When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
It brings back a memory ever green
I'm with you once more under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine
To live it again is past all endeavor
Except when that tune clutches my heart
And there we are swearing to love forever
And promising never never to part
What moments divine what rapture serene
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean
Oh yes let them begin the beguine make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Till you whisper to me once more darling I love you
And we suddenly know
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
What heaven we're in
When they begin the begin
