Violino tzigano [English translation]

Oh, gypsy violin!

Gypsy violin!

Play just for me,

oh, gypsy violin.

Perhaps you also think

about a love over there

under a far-away sky.

Since you're gone,

I can hear

gypsy violins playing.

It's the music of love

gypsies played on the night

that I gave you my heart.

Oh, gypsy, from the

sad and passionate melody

that brings tears,

your violin through your fingers

plays once again

like a sweet serenade—

while, pale,

in silence, I listen.

This tango that,

in a fragrant night,

my heart

fettered itself to another heart.

~~~~~~

If a painful secret

makes your hands tremble,

this tango of love

makes your heart tremble,

oh, gypsy violin.

Oh, gypsy violin!

Gypsy violin!
