Lyrics

  1. Marcheta, Marcheta, I still hear you calling me
    Back to your arms once again
    I still feel the spell of your last kiss upon me
    Since then, life has all been in vain
    All has been sadness without you, Marcheta
    Each day finds me lonely and blue
    My poor heart is broken, I want you, “Marcheta”
    I need you, “Marcheta,” I do
  2. Marcheta, Marcheta, in dreams I can see you
    Your sweet face with love all a-glow
    Your voice, like soft music, still echoes around me
    As in the old days long ago
    Come back, come back, dear, with you here, Marcheta
    Then life once more joyful will be
    The world’s drear and lonely and sunless, Marcheta
    Your love was life’s sunshine to me
