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
_____
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
_____
When we warmed up
_____
So the two of us set off again
_____
In the whirl of life
