Eric Maschwitz at the balalaika 2003 digital remaster

Select language to translate this lyric

When the melancholy shadows fall
My heart is melancholy too
When I hear the balalaikas call
Then life is gay and bright and new
At the Balalaika
Where there is magic in the sparkling wine
And mellow music in the candle shine
I have a rendezvous
At the Balalaika
Who knows what ecstasy tonight may bring
What lovely melody my heart may sing
Before the night is through
I hear a violin
A haunting gipsy violin
And when it sighs its strangely tender song
I know that I belong
At the Balalaika
Oh let me linger there till break of day
Where hearts are young and balalaikas play
I have a rendezvous
I hear a violin
A haunting gipsy violin
And when it sighs its strangely tender song
I know that I belong
At the Balalaika
I hear a violin
A haunting gipsy violin
And when it sighs its strangely tender song
I know that I belong
At the Balalaika.
