Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I traced the footsteps through the multi-colored avenues
That wind their way down to the sea
ย
I see the birds that fly beneath the darkened sky
They are the messengers of dreams
ย
Mandalay, now I know what you tried to be
ย
Mandalay, now I wish you were here with me
Pages filled with science fiction
Without fear of contradiction
Walking through the fields of evergreen
I see you turn and walk away
ย
And from the east there comes a breeze
That floats up high into the blue
ย
Mandalay, now I know what you tried to be
Mandalay, now I wish you were here with me
ย
The sound of retribution
In total disillusion, Mandalay
ย
Mandalay, now I know what you tried to be
Mandalay, now I wish you were here with me
ย
Amidst the confusion
The only conclusion
Mandalay of the misty eyes
Have gazed into the coming dawn
ย
The leaves that turn to gold and brown
I've watched them falling to the ground
ย
Mandalay, now I know what you tried to be
Mandalay, now I wish you were here with me
