daj mi tu havajku i čašu vina
ispit ću onoj koju držah svojom
za koju mnjah da me ne vara
al sad pomen ispijam u njenu čast
ne havajku već čašu vina
dok mi suze blješte šljašte kao svijeća sjaj
o svijeća žar o svijeća sjaj
recite koga grli večeras
i vina daj
i pjesmu moju sad
sviraj drugu stvar
da zaboravim na jad
donesi tu havajku i čašu vina
da još jednom njojzi nazdravim
i prije nego ufitiljiš
reci kakva blenta u njoj spi
i vina daj
i pjesmu moju sad
sviraj drugu stvar
da zaboravim na jad

Just give me a steel guitar, a glass of wine
And let me drink to a love I thought was mine
A love I thought was true to me
But now I’m drinkin’ to her memory
A steel guitar and a glass of wine
While my tears they glisten and the candles shine
Oh candle-glow, oh candle bright
Tell me who she holds tonight

And bring me wine
And make the music mine
Play another set
So that I’ll forget

Mmm, bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine
And let me toast her just one more time
Oh candle-glow, before you dim
Tell her what a fool she’s been

And bring me wine
Make the music mine
Play another set
So that I’ll forget

And bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine
And let me toast her just one more time
Oh candle-glow, before you dim
Tell her what a fool she’s been

And one more thing before I go
Here’s a secret, I still love her so
And one more thing before I go
Here’s a secret, I still love her so
And one more thing before I go
Here’s a secret, I still love her so
And one more thing before I go
Here’s a secret, I still love her so
