Zigeuner

Once upon a time, many years ago

Lived a fair princess hating to confess, loneliness was torturing her soul

Then a gypsy came, called to her by name

Wooed her with a song, sensuous and strong

All the summer long, her passion seemed to tremble like a living frame

Play to me beneath the summer moon

Zigeuner, Zigeuner, Zigeuner

All I ask of life is just to listen to the songs that you sing

My spirit like a bird on the wing, your melody is adoring, soaring

Call to me with some barbaric tune

Zigeuner, Zigeuner, Zigeuner

Now you hold me in your power

Play to me for just an hour, Zigeuner

Now you hold me in your power

Play to me for just an hour, Zigeuner
