|
|
Granada, I'm falling under your spell
|
And if you could speak, what a fascinating tale you would tell
|
Of an age the world has long forgotten
|
Of an age that weaves a silent magic in Granada today
|
|
The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for Granada
|
For she can remember the splendor that once was Granada
|
It still can be found in the hills all around as I wand'r along
|
Entranced by the beauty before me
|
Entranced by a land full of sunshine and flowers and song
|
|
And when day is done and the sun starts to set in Granada
|
I envy the blush of the snow-clad Sierra Nevada
|
For soon it will welcome the star while a thousand guitars
|
Play a soft haba?ra
|
|
Then moonlit Granada will live again the glory of yesterday
|
Romantic and gay!!!
