They fell in love but her family opposed them and sent her back to their homeland, leaving him to search for her for the rest of his days.
Story behind the song
This has NOTHING to do with the president's daughter! I thought the name Sasha sounded mysterious and beautiful, maybe Ukrainian...
Lyrics
Sasha
I was walking down the road with nothing on my mind
And she was coming towards me on that night
A lovely-looking lady who was beautiful and fair
Her hair was black and her skin was snowy-white
And now Sasha waits for me
Somewhere Sasha waits for me
In a land across the sea
Somewhere Sasha waits for me
We knew right at that moment that we’d found a love that’s true
Our paths had come together into one
Her family was against it and they took her far away
Back to the land where they had all come from
And now Sasha waits for me
Somewhere Sasha waits for me
And I never will be free
Not while Sasha waits for me
I’ll never find another who could match her loveliness
I know I’d be a fool to even try
And so I roam the world alone to find her warm embrace
And I’ll search for her until the day I die
And now Sasha waits for me
Somewhere Sasha waits for me
And I never will be free
Not while Sasha waits for me
And now Sasha waits for me
Somewhere Sasha waits for me
And I never will be free
Not while Sasha waits for me
