Hvor er du dejlig, Angelique
Hvad er stjernerne imod dit klare blik?
Din stemme klinger som den sødeste musik
Og dit væsen er skabt af drøm og romantik
Gik jeg med Shakespeares digterhat
Skrev jeg digte til dig både dag og nat
Og var jeg hyllet i Carusos kappe, jeg
Ja, så sang jeg og sang for dig
Og jeg malte dig yndig og blu
Ku' jeg male som Rembrandt han ku'
Og jeg tilbad dig på violin
Ku' jeg spille som Menuhin
Men alle muser gav mig nej
Jeg behersker ikke sang og strengeleg
Giv mig nu bare lov at drømme lidt om dig, Angelique
Så jeg føler mig som blot en enkelt lille brik
I dit livs mosaik
Rundt om i verden, der findes der dejlige piger
Nogen har det blide, og nogen har det ildfulde blik
Men om jeg søgte i alle de dejligste riger
Fandt jeg dog ingen så yndig som du, Angelique
Gik jeg med Shakespeares digterhat
Skrev jeg digte til dig både dag og nat
Og var jeg hyldet i Carusos kappe
Ja, så sang jeg og sang for dig
Og jeg malte dig yndig og blu
Ku' jeg male som Rembrandt han ku'
Og jeg tilbad dig på violin
Ku' jeg spille som Menuhin
Men alle muser gav mig nej
Jeg behersker ikke sang og strengeleg
Giv mig nu bare lov at drømme lidt om dig
Angelique, så jeg føler mig
Som blot en enkelt lille brik i dit livs moѕаik
Angelique, du, min dejlige Angelique
Min Angelique
You are so wonderful, Angelique
What are the stars compared to your pretty eyes?
Your voice sounds like the sweetest music
And your soul is made of dream and romance
If I wore Shakespeare's poetry hat
I'd be writing poems to you day and night
And if I wore Caruso's cape
Then I'd sing and sing for you
And I'd paint you lovely and bashful
If I could paint as Rembrandt could
And I'd worship you on a violin
If I could play like Menuhin
But all the Muses said no
I don't master singing and string playing
Just let me dream a little of you, Angelique
So I feel as just a single little pawn
In the mosaic of you life
Around the world there are wonderful girls
Some have the soft, and some have the fiery look
But if I searched in all of the most wonderful countries
I'd never find anyone so beautiful as you, Angelique
If I wore Shakespeare's poetry hat
I'd be writing poems to you day and night
And if I wore Caruso's cape
Then I'd sing and sing for you
And I'd paint you lovely and bashful
If I could paint as Rembrandt could
And I'd worship you on a violin
If I could play like Menuhin
But all the Muses said no
I don't master singing and string playing
Just let me dream a little of you, Angelique
So I feel as just a single little pawn
In the moѕаic of you life
Angelique, you, my wonderful Angelique
My Angelique
