Chances are, at this moment,
On a lakeside
Near Brussels
He’s thinking of Edith Almera.
Edith Almera
Plays first fiddle
In a gypsy band:
She’s acclaimed and adored at nightclubs.
She smiles
As she takes a bow
Before the patrons
Who applaud her.
Nightclubs are just great:
At nightclubs you can
Fall in love
With fiddling girls.
(Orhan Veli Kanik)
