Pink Martini – Dosvedanya, Mio Bombino

The Samovara is full of tea

You stare unblinkingly at me

While your car waits in the freezing rain

I know your soul calls Moscow home

But your heart belongs to Rome

So for years, I’ve followed you in vain

But all, will you ever know what you are?

Dosvedanya mio bambino

Dosvedanya mio bambino

There is a place where only you alone go

There is a world that only you alone know

Along an endless balcony

Above the Adriatic Sea

I try to storm the Kremlin of your heart

In Florence, we were on the mend

But that Mazurka had to end

We missed the naked trees of Gorky Park

But all, will you ever know what you’ve lost?

Dosvedanya mio bambino

Dosvedanya mio bambino

There is a place where only you alone go

There is a world that only you alone know

But all, will you ever know what you have?

Dosvedanya mio bambino

Dosvedanya mio bambino

There is a place where only you alone go

There is a world that only you alone know

I heard you finally settled down, in a warm Italian town

So I took the train to see you there

Your wife is sweet and you’re well fed

Your daughter, tucked away in bed

Still you looked at me with great despair

I hear snow is falling on Red Square

Valderi valdera

Valderi valdera

Valderi valdera

My knapsack on my back

Valderi valdera

Valderi valdera

Valderi valdera

My knapsack on my back
