At The Balalaika (from"Balalaika") - Richard Tauber

When the melancholy shadows fall

My heart is melancholy too

When I hear the balalaikas call

And 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 rendez-vous

At the balalaika

Who knows what ecstasy the night 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 ???

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 rendez-vous

I hear a violin

A haunting gipsy violin

And when it ???

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 rendez-vous
