Lyrics

Irena, Irena
A lover waits for you
The right one, a knight one
No other love will do
Everything you ever dreamed a man could bring
He’ll offer for the taking
So take him
He needs you
You need him
Irena
Oh, no lover waits too long
Believe him
Receive him
You know where you belong
Live today
Its time you gave your love away
Don’t wait until tomorrow
In sorrow
You may find
Your lover gone
Irena, Irena, darling
