Pink Martini: Dosvedanya Mio Bambino

The samovar is full of tea
You stare unblinkingly at me
While your car waits in the freezing rain

I know your soul calls Moscows home
But your heart belongs to Rome
So for years I've followed you in vain

But oh, 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 tried 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 oh, 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 oh, 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"

Pink Martini: Hey Eugene

Hey Eugene,
Do you remember me?
I’m that chick you danced with two times
Through the Rufus album Friday night at that party
On Avenue A
Where your skinhead friend passed out
For several hours on the bathroom floor
And you told me
You weren't that drunk
And that I was your favourite Salsa dancer
You had ever come across in New York City

Eugene
Eugene
Eugene
I said hello, Eugene
Are you there, Eugene

Hey Eugene
Then we kissed
Once we lugged your friend into the elevator
And went to write my number on a soggy paper towel
And the car went down
And when we were finished making out
We noticed that your skinhead friend was gone
Long gone
And you looked into my bloodshot eyes
And said "is it too soon if I call you Sunday"

Eugene
Eugene
Eugene
I said hello, Eugene
Are you there, Eugene

I said hello (hello), Eugene (Eugene)
Eugene (Eugene)
Eugene (oh yeah)

I said hello (hello), Eugene
Are you there, Eugene (tell me are you there)

I said hello (hello), Eugene (Eugene)
Eugene (Eugene)
Eugene (tell me oh)

I said hello (hello), Eugene (Eugene)
Does any of this ring a bell Eugene
