7 torch song
Torch — это зажжённый факел, и выражение to carry a torch for someone значит «изнывать от любви». Имеются в виду муки неразделённой любви, безответное чувство. A torch singer — это исполнительница (реже исполнитель) жестоких романсов, а a torch song выражает всё мучение и отчаяние безнадёжной страсти.
