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
