Never grieving, grieving, grieving
The sea splashes against the shores in the land of magnolias
Boys are sitting on the fence
And make me feel sorrow
The pairs are dancing, dancing, dancing
The melody is familiar, it's even an old one
And the sweet voice of a bass-guitar
Stirs my memory but I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind
Refrain:
Just like them, sometime we, children, had been running here
Our eyes were shining like agates, agates
And our cheeks were rosy as ever
The pairs are dancing to the chords, to the chords
The way which is fashionable now
And it is okay to speak freely, freely
About life and love
The sea splashes against the shores in the land of magnolias
Boys are sitting on the fence
And I am catching the delight
In every glance of theirs
Boys are bored to fight now
At nights they see girls in their dreams
These dances are not for them today
But my song is, and now I present it to them
Refrain (2x)
