Текст песни The Old Refrain (Deanna Durbin) с переводом

I often think of home Dee-ol-ee-ay

When I am all alone and far away

I sing an old refrain, dee-ol-ee-ay

For it recalls to me a bygone day

It takes me back again to meadow’s fair

Where sunlight’s golden rays beam everywhere

My childhood joys again come back to me

My mother’s face in fancy too I see

It was my mother taught me how to sing

And to that memory my heart will cling

I’m never sad and alone while on my way

As long as I can sing Dee-ol-ee-ay

Though years have passed and gone, dee-ol-ee-ay

And though my heart is young my head is grey

Yet still the echoes ring, dee-ol-ee-ay

And dear old memories forever stay

[This song will bring me visions full of light

And sweetest dreams throughout the darkest night

Of all that life can give, that song is best

I’ll take it with me when I go to rest]

And when at last my journey here is o’er

'Twill ring more joyfully than o’er before

For up to heavens I will take my lay

The angels, too, will sing dee-ol-ee-ay
