When a zither starts to play
You'll remember yesterday
In it's haunting strain
Vienna lives again
Free and bright and gay
In your mind a sudden gleam
Of a half forgotten dream
Seems to glimmer when you hear The Third Man Theme
Once again there comes to mind
Someone that you left behind
Love that somehow didn't last
In that happy city of the past
Does she still recall the dream
That rapture so supreme
When first she heard the haunting Third Man Theme?
Carnivals and carousels and ferris wheels and parasols
The Danube nights, the dancing lights again will shine
The zither's sweet refrain
Keeps swirling in your brain
Like new May wine
Strauss waltzes, candle-glow
And the laughter of long ago
Fill the magic chords and make it seem like today
You never knew that you could be
Enchanted by a melody
The years will never drive it out
You don't know why
It's something you can't live without
You hear it in the twilight hush
And in the morning traffic rush
A song that's always new
In your heart a part of you
Oh, shines so brightly when you hear The Third Man Theme
When a zither starts to play
You'll remember yesterday
In it's haunting strain
Vienna lives again
Free and bright and gay
In your mind a sudden gleam
Of a well remembered dream
Seems to glimmer when you hear The Third Man Theme
Once again there comes to mind
Someone that you left behind
Love that somehow didn't last
In that happy city of the past
Does she still recall the dream
That rapture so supreme
When first she heard the haunting Third Man Theme?
Carnivals and carousels and ferris wheels and parasols
The Danube nights, the dancing lights again will shine
The zither's sweet refrain
Keeps swirling in your brain
Like new May wine
Strauss waltzes, candle-glow
And the laughter of long ago
Fill the magic chords and make it seem like today
You never knew that you could be
Enchanted by a melody
The years will never drive it out
You don't know why
It's something you can't live without
You hear it in the twilight hush
And in the morning traffic rush
A song that's always new
In your heart a part of you
Oh, shines so brightly when you hear The Third Man Theme

Gaetano Alberto Lombardo, noto come Guy Lombardo, è stato un celebre direttore d'orchestra e violinista canadese di origini italiane. Nato a Toronto nel 1899, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale suonando il violino in una band locale. Nel corso degli anni '20, Lombardo ha formato la sua orchestra, che divenne rapidamente popolare per i suoi arrangiamenti eleganti e le performance raffinate. La sua musica era caratterizzata da un sound jazz leggero e romantico, spesso accompagnato da canzoni popolari dell'epoca. L'orchestra di Guy Lombardo è stata una delle più famose del mondo durante il periodo d'oro della musica leggera americana. ?? È noto soprattutto per aver suonato "Auld Lang Syne" alla mezzanotte del Capodanno, diventando un rituale tradizionale negli Stati Uniti e in Canada. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Lombardo ci sono "The Sweetest Melody", "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" e "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)". L'influenza di Lombardo sulla musica leggera del XX secolo è stata significativa, contribuendo a definire il sound romantico e raffinato che caratterizzò l'epoca.
