Lyrics
- Girl of mine
In dreams your sweet face I see
I hear you calling for me
Love divine, tonight I’m pining for you
And wond’ring if you are true
Chorus
My sweet dark-eyed maiden
My heart’s heavy laden, I’m blue
Horizon I’m scanning
Wedding day I’m planning, for you
And by the star above
I’m saving all my love
Roumania and it’s all true blue
In dreams I caressed you
To my heart I pressed you, you sighed
Then I was awakened
All my dreams were shaken, I cried
Someday I’ll be returning
No more will I be yearning
For then I’ll be with you
- Night winds sigh
Because they know I am blue
And longing sweetheart for you
That is why, Roumania your loving smile
I seem to see all the while
