Noël Coward - Gipsy Melody lyrics

Pa**ing a song to you both sad and true About a highly born Hungarian. Though Gipsy blood was red her blood was blue, And very definitely Arian, She loved a proletarian. In a valley far away A Gipsy minstrel came to play A serenade. Everyone from far and near Collected in the woods to hear The tune he played Wild and free, That haunting melody Enchanted maid and man. Young and old believed the tales he told And joined his caravan; A most impulsive foolish man. Their troubles then began. The rain soon brought them home again No longer wild and free. Snow and hail Had made that nightingale Sound very much off key. A sorry tale you will agree. What fools these mortals be. But one poor lady left her heart behind And from that moment life was sad for her. Naught could bring comfort to her troubled mind Which on the whole was very bad for her. That is why To any Gipsy pa**ing by She'd always sigh: "Play me a Gipsy melody from far away An echo wild and gay From forgotten yesterday. My lonely heart can still remember The magic nights beneath the open sky, So Gipsy play for me That song I love until the day I die. My lonely heart can still remember Those magic nights beneath the open sky, So Gipsy play for me That song I love until the day I die.>
