At the Balalaika

Where there is magic in the sparkling wine,

And mellow music in the candles' 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 gypsy 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!
