[Spanish Guitar Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm so far away
From everything you know
Your name is carried on the wind
Your ice blue waters, Anya
Where do they flow
Where have they been
I'm so far away
From everything you know
Your name is carried on the wind
Your ice blue waters, Anya
Where do they flow
Where have they been
Oh, where have they been
[Pre-Chorus]
A hidden passion
Touching a spark
Flame of revolution
Burning wild in your gypsy heart
Oh, your gypsy heart
[Chorus]
Anya
Anya – The spirit of freedom
Anya, Anya
[Verse 2]
The light of freedom buried
Deep within your soul
Across the puszta plain to see
The rhapsody of angels
Refuse to dance alone
What do they mean
Oh, what do they mean
[Pre-Chorus]
Your jewel flashing
Across the dark
Forbidding distance
I love your gypsy heart
Oh, your gypsy heart
[Chorus]
Anya
Anya – The spirit of freedom
Anya, Anya
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Your jewel flashing
Across the dark
Forbidding distance
I love your gypsy heart
Oh, your gypsy heart
[Chorus]
Anya
Anya – The spirit of freedom
Anya, Anya
