This one was an oldie when most oldies were brand new, but someone out there
might be able to help! I'm trying to find the lyrics (English preferably)
for 'Vilja's Song' from Franz Lehar's 'Merry Widow'. web-search, for once, isn't
being very helpful.
TIA.
Merry Christmas.

Does this help?
VERSE
The night is romantic and I am alone.
In vain through my window the moonlight is thrown.
"Oh, Vilia my Vilia!" Oh yes, that's the tune,
The song of the shepherd who cried for the moon
REFRAIN
Vilia, oh Vilia, oh let me be true;
My little life is a love song to you.
Vilia, oh Vilia, I've waited so long;
Lonely with only a song.
Vilia, oh Vilia, don't leave me alone!
Love calls to love and my heart is your own.
Vilia, oh Vilia, I've waited so long;
Lonely with only a song.
Only a song
Only a song

It is a lovely song. It was dear June Bronhill's signature tune, here in
Australia. I always think of her when anyone mentions or sings Vilia.
