Lyrics and translation
Original
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself to the 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
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to 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
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?
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself to that misty light
Was hypnotized by the strange delight
Under that lilac tree
Lilac wine (lilac wine) is sweet (it is sweet) and heady
Where's my love?
I feel unready for my love
Feel unready for my love
