by Thomas Moore (1779 - 1852)
Dance the Romaika
Language: English
Ah, when the Balaika Is heard o'er the sea, I'll dance the Romaika By moonlight with thee; If waves then advancing Should steal on our play, Thy white feet in dancing Shall chase them away. Ah when the Balaika Is heard o'er the sea, Thou'lt dance the Romaika, my own love, with me.
