After Gypsy Star

Fuzzy bumblebee on a fragrant ambary
Dances at the edge of the pond
And the gypsy bride for beloved at night
By the kinship of vagrant soul

So ahead after wandering gypsy star
Into sunset where sails palpitate
And with desolate longing the eyes will stare
Into flaming skies overhead

And together on path, to meet the fates,
Not to guess if to heaven or hell,
Thus we need to go not fearing the road
To the end of the world to the end

So ahead after wandering gypsy star
Rendezvous flying into sunrise
Where, tender and quiet, the wave alights
With pink in the morning light

So ahead after wandering gypsy star
Into latitudes north and south
If the waves of the sea warm will be
Ocean wave will fly over us

So ahead after wandering gypsy star
Into sunset where sails palpitate
And with desolate longing the eyes will stare
And with desolate longing the eyes will stare
Into flaming skies overhead.

From film "Cruel Romance"
