Lyrics

Nightingale, tiny troubador of love
In the leafy bough above
Sing to me, Nightingale
Bitter sweet the memories
Wakened by your melodies
That cling to me
Idle dreams I know are these
You bring to me
Idle dreams of One I still love
Where is he, where is he?

Chorus:
If somewhere my love you chance to discover
Oh, Nightingale, sing to him of our love
And happy hours in rose-scented bowers
Where sweetly you sang from above
There beneath the shade of the sheltering boughs
Blissfully I traded by kisses for vows
All too soon forgotten
So if you find him, of that night remind him
Oh, Nightingale, sing him my song of love
