She had rings on every finger
Loads of bracelets around her wrists
And then she sang with a voice
That, right away, bewitched me
She had eyes, opal eyes
That fascinated me, that fascinated me
There was the oval of her pale face
Of a femme fatale who proved fatal to me
Of a femme fatale who proved fatal to me
We met, we recognized each other
We lost touch, we lost touch again
We found each other, we warmed up
Each went our own way
In the whirl of life
I saw her again one night, Ay Ay Ay
It'd already been quite a while
It'd already been quite a while
To the sound of banjos I recognized her
That curious smile I'd loved so much
Her fatal voice, her lovely pale face
Moved me more than ever
I got drunk listening to her
Booze makes you forget time
I woke up feeling
Kisses on my burning forehead
Kisses on my burning forehead
We met, we recognized each other
We lost touch, we lost touch again
We found each other, we split up
Then we warmed up again
Each went our own way
In the whirl of life
I saw her again one night la la
She fell back into my arms
She fell back into my arms
When we recognized each other
Why lose touch
When we warmed up
So the two of us set off again
In the whirl of life
