I took my mandolin and went out into the courtyard. O young woman, why are you waving at me? (Oh oh oh, your hands are so sweet, O young woman, don't make me long for you!) I took my mandolin and went out onto the balcony. O young woman, why do you make me long for you? (Oh oh oh, your hands are so sweet, O young woman, don't make me long for you!) I took my mandolin and went out into the marketplace. O young woman, why are you winking at me? (Oh oh oh, your hands are so sweet, O young woman, don't make me long for you!) |
