From the musical “The Merry Widow”, 1907 • Words by Adrian Ross • Music by Franz Lehar • Arranged by H. M. Higgs • Lyrics • There once was a Vilia • A witch of the wood • A hunter beheld her alone as she stood • The spell of her beauty upon him was laid • He looked and he longed for the magical maid • For a sudden tremor ran • Right through the love-bewildered man • And he sighed as a hapless lover can • “Vilia, O Vilia! the witch of the wood • Would I not die for you, dear, if I could • Vilia, O Vilia, my love and my bride” • Softly and sadly he sighed • “Vilia, O Vilia, the witch of the wood • Would I not die for you, dear if I could • Vilia, O Vilia, my love and my bride” • Softly and sadly he sighed • The wood-maiden smiled • And no answer she gave • But beckoned him into the shade of the cave • He never had known such a rapturous bliss • No maiden of mortals so sweetly can kiss • As before her feet he lay • She vanished in the wood away • And he called vainly till his dying day • “Vilia, O Vilia, the witch of the wood • Would I not die for you, dear, if I could? • Vilia, O Vilia, my love and my bride” • Softly and sadly he sighed • “Vilia, O Vilia, the witch of the wood • Would I not die for you, dear, if I could? • Vilia, O Vilia, my love and my bride” • Softly and sadly he sighed • Sadly he sighed, Vilia • --------------------------------------------------------------- • Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein. • Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne. • Get the sheet music and MIDI at: • https://www.sheetmusicsinger.com/vilia/
