 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 habañera 

  

 Then moonlit Granada will live again the glory of yesterday 

 Romantic and gay!!!
