FESTIVAL OF THE NEW WINE
I'm sure we've all (or most of us) have seen the 1943 classic horror movie Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man (and if you haven't, stop now and watch it). One of the more memorable scenes involves the villagers of Vasaria singing the the traditional folk song Faro-la Faro-Li during the Festival of the New Wine.

Sitting there reading this your probably envisioning that scene right now with Adia Kuznetzoff unforgettable voice. The dancing. The drinking. The traditional outfits. But do you know the words to the song? I'm sure some might. But like me, you might not. Never fear. Now you can play the movie or video clip and sing along like a true professional or impress your friends. Enjoy!
FARO-LA, FARO-LI (SONG OF THE NEW WINE)
From the film "Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman" (1943)
Come one and all and sing a song
Faro-la, faro-li!
For life is short, but death is long
Faro-la, faro-li!
There'll be no music in the tomb
So sing with joy and down with gloom
Tonight the new wine is in bloom
Faro-la, faro-li!
Tonight we toast our happy host
Faro-la, faro-li!
For he's the man we love the most
Faro-la, faro-li!
He's barrel-chested, dipper-lipped
For drinking wine, he's well-equipped
But where's his chest? It must have slipped
Faro-la, faro-li!
If Franzec never drank at all
Faro-la, faro-li!
He might not care for alchohol
Faro-la, faro-li!
But since he drinks them by the score
He loves his bottles more and more
He even likes them on the floor
Faro-la, faro-li!
Now here's a pair of newly-weds
Faro-la, faro-li!
With love and kisses in their heads
Faro-la, faro-li!
Tonight theres only he and she
Just one and two, as you can see
But very soon they may be three
Faro-la, faro-li!
The wine tonight is nobly blessed
Faro-la, faro-li!
By such a lady and her guest
Faro-la, faro-li!
To them a toast, come drink with me
That they may ever happy be
And may they live eternally
Faro-la, faro-li!
