Manouche, the sky is wide
Reflected in your eyes
Black as a moonless night,
Darkness of starless skies.
Manouche, I fell into
Love when I saw your face
For precious moments I
Was lost in your embrace.
Manouche, you went away
Your voice lost to my ears
Into the silent sea
I have poured silent tears.
Manouche I'd live anew,
Come back into my arms
Life is cold without you
Without your quiet charm.
