One day I was walking alone in the park
Autumn leaves on ground
Thinking my life drifting past
Tired of going round
Most beautiful girl
Necklace of pearls

That night I was dreaming alone in the dark
Oh you filled my mind
Planning our lives
What will become
Will she be my wife
Enigmatic shy
Deep blue eyes

Irina, Irina - You were born on July
Died in the dead of the winter time
Irina, Irina - You seldom smiled
Is that because you lived in exile

So understanding of my wild past
No man could ask for more
Turning your back to other rivals
You said I was made for
Raven black hair
Nature so fair

Irina, Irina - You were born on July
Died in the dead of the winter time
Irina, Irina - You seldom smiled
Is that because you lived in exile

War and death
Murder and blood
Child’s first cry
I love you terribly

One day I was sitting alone in the park
Frozen leaves on feet
Remembering times fading in dark
The day we first met
Most beautiful girl
Necklace of pearl


Irina, Irina - You were born on July
Died in the dead of the winter time
Irina, Irina - You seldom smiled
Is that because you lived in exile
