Fly away, said my carefree heart, to the place where the daydreams start,
to the land where it's always spring and the moon is a dancing thing.
Fly away, send my heart to me,
to the shore of a moonlit sea
Where the grapes on the vines above
fill the air with the wine of love
My
Meloquenia, your eyes shave a purple sky
You were as fair as I dreamed you would be
I loved and lost you,
for I never could deny
The gypsy strain in me
Tis a gypsy code to be fancy -free
When I see a road,
oh, that's the road for me
A
Melanquenia I went my
inconstant way
Knowing so well I would soon rue the day
Fate stands beside me, it calls, and I must obey.
Nightly as a song, going where I please,
journeying along with every vagrant breeze.
Up a hill, down a stream,
on a path I follow in a dream
How long have I traveled, my love,
since the night we met
Seeking and wandering, a way to forget
But it's no matter by what path I may depart
I can't escape from my heart
Gypsy's life for me,
Melanquenia,
be much the same as me!
Melanquenia!
