My Traitor Heart lyrics

Some like to call me an enchantress,

The Queen of Love and all its arts.

They say that I have magic powers

To weave my spells around men's hearts.

And yet one heart can still deny me,

One heart alone remains unknown,

One heart continues to defy me;

And that one heart... it is my own!

Yes, that one heart... it is my own!

The nights grow cold.

We light one little fire.

Now here's the hearth all ablaze,

All ablaze, burning bright.

The flames grow bold.

They leap up, ever higher!

Now here's the house all ablaze,

All ablaze, in the night!

My heart longs only to be faithful,

Seeks only harmony and peace.

And after all the storms and passion,

Sincerely yearns for strife to cease.

And yet this heart of mine is lying!

Because of one thing I am sure:

Although for peace I hear it sighing,

This traitor heart prepares for war!

My traitor heart prepares for war!

The nights grow cold.

We light one little fire.

Now here's the hearth all ablaze,

All ablaze, burning bright.

The flames grow bold.

They leap up, ever higher!

Now here's the house all ablaze,

All ablaze, in the night!

It's not my fault if men pursue me.

You see how hard I try to cope,

To hold them off yet not discourage,

To leave them all a breath of hope.

But if my heart will not obey me,

How can I manage to be true?

Yes, if my heart itself betray me,

How can I win? What can I do?

I must give in. What can I do?

The nights grow cold.

We light one little fire.

Now here's the hearth all ablaze,

All ablaze, burning bright.

The flames grow bold.

They leap up, ever higher!

Now here's the house all ablaze,

All ablaze, in the night!
