Spiel' Mir, Zigeuner, Ein Lied

Two black eyes
promised me love and happiness.
But they lied.
I remain alone.
Two red lips,
that said, I love you very much.
But she betrayed me.
My heart is lonely and empty.

Play me a song, Gypsy,
where one forgets everything.
Let your violin resound.
Hey, come sing with me.
Play me a song, Gypsy. Play a Czardas for me.
No one should see when I cry, cry out of love for her.

Streets of life,
You mountains, seas, and wind,
I have lost love
and don't know where to find it.
Just a wanderer,
tiredly crossing the days.
But I have sworn
that she will never find out.

Play me a song, Gypsy,
where one forgets everything.
Let your violin resound.
Hey, come sing with me.
Play me a song, Gypsy.
Play a Czardas for me.
No one should see when I cry, cry out of love for her.
