Sky, so vast is the sky,
With faraway clouds just wandering by;
Where do they go?
Oh, I don't know, I don't know.

Wind that speaks to the leaves,
Telling storoes that no-one believes,
Stories of love belong to you and me.

Oh Dindi,
If I only had words I would say
All the beautiful things that I see
When you're with me,
Oh, my Dindi!

Oh Dindi,
Like the song of the wind in the trees,
That's how my heart is singing, Dindi,
Happy, Dindi,
When you're with me.

I love you more each day,
Yes I do, yes I do!
I'd let you go away
If you'd take me with you!

Don't you know, Dindi,
I'd be running, searching for you?
Like a river that can't find the sea,
That would be me
Without you, my Dindi.

Like a river that can't find the sea,
That would be me
Without you, my Dindi,
Dindi,
Dindi,
Dindi.

note - "Dindi" is pronounced "Gingi" (soft G's)
