Lyrics and translation
Original
I lost myself on a cool, damp night.
I gave myself in that misty light.
Was hypnotized by a strange delight under a lilac tree.
I made wine from the lilac tree.
Put my heart in its recipe.
Makes me see what I want to see, and be what I want to be.
When I think more than I wanna think, I do things I never should do.
I drink much more than I ought to drink, because it brings me back you.
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love.
Lilac wine,
I feel unsteady, like my love.
Listen to me,
I cannot see clearly.
Isn't that she coming to me, nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady.
Where's my love?
Lilac wine,
I feel unsteady.
Where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac wine,
I feel unready for my love.
Feel unready for my love.
