I have lost the one i love to someone else

She lies beside me, but she's not here, she's far away

She's talking softly, she's talking sweetly about a dream

Sweet magdalena, my misfortune, where are you now?



The things i lost, i left behind, i threw away

They're gathering the dusky light of reverie

Always with me, where i go, sweet company, or is it misery?

Sweet magdalena, my misfortune, where are you now?



There's so many ways to go [l.a.?], you better [down?]

Yeah, so many hours from now to the dawn

Yeah, so many words i never found to make you stay just one more day

Sweet magdalena, my misfortune, where are you now?

Yeah, ooh

Yeah, so many words i never found to make you stay just one more day

Sweet magdalena, my misfortune, where are you now?

Yeah, sweet magdalena, my misfortune, where are you now?
