-English Lyrics by
Dorothy Dodd and Music by Augustin Lara




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 habaera

Then moonlit Granada will live again the
glory of yesterday
Romantic and gay!!!
