lyrics

High, high, oy, high
I fly in my sleep above the Earth.
Far, far, far away,
Far away is my homeland.
For long, long, year after year,
Long I’ve been walking around the Globe. Soon, soon, not beyond the mountains, Soon I will fold my tired wings.
Play, trumpet,
Spin, the Earth. Saxophone, turn out All the sorrow.
Many, many, oy, so many years,
For many years I’ve been looking for happiness.
Songs, songs, lovely songs –
My native home and my life are in songs.
Heart’s wounds
Baraban (drum) will heal. It’s nice as in Paradise When I sing songs.
Play, trumpet,
Spin, the Earth, Saxophone, turn out All the sorrow.
