When gypsies gather 'round the old
campfire at night
And stars are dancing in
the skies above
Their hearts are light and gay
as they sing their cares away
And dance until the
flickering fires die
But even though
love has gone astray
Those violins will
sound the night away
They say
that when a
romany violin cries
a dream falls apart
it's somebody's heart
that's aching
Well they say
when you hear a
romany violin cry
That's mournful and low
for I know that a heart
is breaking
Well I know
for I'm alone in my world
of tears
My only souvenir is
because I
loved you so
Someday
that when a
romany violin cries
And though we're apart
you will know it's my heart
still crying for you
Well I know
for I'm alone in my world
of tears
My only souvenir is
because I
loved you so
Someday
that when a
romany violin cries
And though we're apart
you will know it's my heart
still crying for you
