You are playing your sweet melody
And I’m melting like sugar in tea .
You are whispering some gentle things
Touching my naked strings.
You can read my notes, you can get my key
You are holding me, you are playing me.
Like a bala-bala-bala-bala-layka
I’m your bala-bala-bala-bala-layka
Get the best of what I got.
Music from my heart
I’m your bala-bala-bala-bala-layka.
I am trembling like a moth in the wind
Feeling your cutting nails on my skin.
And tonight you can get every bit
Of the music you need.
You can read my notes, you can get my key
You are holding me, you are playing me.
Like a bala-bala-bala-bala-layka
I’m your bala-bala-bala-bala-layka
Get the best of what I got.
Music from my heart
I’m your bala-bala-bala-bala-layka.
My love, my hope, my tenderness –
Three strings you’re playing, baby, yes.
You know it’s real, you feel it’s true
I’m singing it for you.
Like a bala-bala-bala-bala-layka
I’m your bala-bala-bala-bala-layka
Get the best of what I got.
Music from my heart
I’m your bala-bala-bala-bala-layka.
