Strange enchantment fills the moonrise,
There's a breeze like sandalwood and wine.
Strange enchantment lies in your eyes,
Saying, "Please, oh please, tonight be mine!".

When the moon has gone in the blue dawn,
And we go wandering apart,
Darling, I'll be dreaming of this moment
With a strange enchantment in my heart!

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
There's a breeze like sandalwood and wine.
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
Saying, "Please, oh please, tonight be mine!
Oh please, tonight be mine!".
