00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:08.000
Once by chance one summer evening
I glanced into a garden near,

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.200
There a swarthy Moldave girl
Was gathering the wine-red grapes.

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:17.000
I start blushing, I turn pale,
And suddenly I want to say:

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.000
"Let's go stroll beyond the river
And greet the summer morningtide!"

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:28.280
Refrain:
Oh, the curly maple tree green, with its peaked leaves,
Captivated and embarrassed stood before you.

00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:37.000
Maple tree green, curly maple,
Curly maple tree, peaked leaves.

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:51.000
Oh, the curly maple tree green, with its peaked leaves,
Captivated and embarrassed stood before you.

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:57.900
And the swarthy Moldave girl,
Answered back with the same tune:

00:00:57.900 --> 00:01:02.080
We putting a band together
Of Moldavian partisans.

00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:06.100
Soon the partisans abandoned
Their hearths and homes that early morn.

00:01:06.100 --> 00:01:10.130
And the road awaits you
Through the woods to the partisans.

00:01:10.130 --> 00:01:17.290
Refrain:
Oh, the curly maple tree green, with its peaked leaves,
Captivated and embarrassed stood before you.

00:01:17.290 --> 00:01:25.280
Maple tree green, curly maple,
Curly maple tree, peaked leaves.

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:32.210
Oh, the curly maple tree green, with its peaked leaves,
By that maple tree we'll say farewell.

00:01:32.210 --> 00:01:39.210
Maple tree green, curly maple,
Curly maple tree, peaked leaves.

00:01:42.150 --> 00:01:46.200
And the swarthy Moldave girl
Walked away by the forest path.

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:51.000
And I felt affronted that she
Didn't ask me to go with her.

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.130
Thoughts came to me in the nighttime
Of my swarthy Moldave girl ...

00:01:55.130 --> 00:01:59.160
Suddenly one day with her band
I met my swarthy Moldave girl.

00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:06.260
Oh, the curly maple tree green, with its peaked leaves,
Hey there, fellow, my good-looking lover boy!

00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:14.170
Maple tree green, curly maple,
Curly maple tree, peaked leaves.

00:02:14.170 --> 00:02:21.160
Oh, the curly maple tree green, with its peaked leaves,
Hey there, fellow, my good-looking lover boy!

00:02:21.160 --> 00:02:29.070
Maple tree green, curly maple,
Curly maple tree, peaked leaves.
