I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight

Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe

It makes me see what I want to see
and be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think

Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because (it) brings me back you...


Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love

Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...
