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 habaņera

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