When he was riding through the old Romanian town, |
|
Heading to the East, he had to stop 'till dawn... |
|
He had to stop' till dawn... |
|
Late it was, he took water from a well, |
|
Glittering and cold, water quenched his thirst... |
|
But, that old well was dry... |
|
And the moon was shining bright, |
|
Scattered sparkles rounded the well, |
|
Sound of a distant flute he heard, |
|
His horse ran away... |
|
Suddenly, some children all in white |
|
Made a ring around him, whispering: |
|
He, who drinks the water from the well, |
|
Falls into her embrace, tells the tale... |
|
As the eyes are windows to the soul, |
|
Through his gaze she'll know it all... |
|
No one ever heard a word of him, |
|
Some tale says his soul still lingers thirsty... |
|
And if you're riding |
|
Through some old Romanian town on your road to East, |
|
You should never stop before the dawn... |
|
Never stop before the dawn... |
