song lyrics
"Julie" calls out the voice of my only love and she promises something. She calls me day and night, but I'm afraid to follow her. "Julie" she calls again and I run to escape her, but her reputation is irresistible and seems to be my fate, even though I know that her reputation means suffering. It is warm in his arms and his kiss tenderly, but hidden danger is reflected in his eyes. "Julie", I have to go wherever the voice leads me, even if it means eternity. Oh, I know that I'll never be free, free from the voice that calls out "Julie", "Julie"!
