Singing my song (Ask me to dance)
(Esther Ofarim, WDR Gala 1981 & New York 1982)

watch video of the rehearshal for the WDR Gala 1981:


If I sing my song,
Then I’ll sing it sweetly.
Will I have your ear,
In early spring, 
When it’s April’s hour to flower,
Would you give me a chance, Babe,
Ask me to dance, Babe?

If I hold your heart,
Then I’ll hold it sweetly
In my summer hands,
So soft and warm.
Will the cold December remember?
Would you give me a chance, Babe?
Ask me to dance, Babe?

One, two, three,
Come on now dance with me!
One, two, three,
Come on now dance with me!

Now I have your heart
And I hold it sweetly
In my summer hands,
So soft and warm.
Will the cold December remember?
Would you give me a chance babe
Ask me to dance babe?
Would you ask me to dance?
Would you ask me to dance,
Ask me to dance,
Ask me to dance?
