Dance and song make glad the night
Hark the castanets are sounding light
Come ah come ahhhhh
Come ah come ahhhhh.

Now I watch the scene so bright.
Ah now, rings a voice I know, from every voice apart
Thro’ the orange grove he hastens
He is coming, oh my heart.

Ah now, rings a voice I know, from every voice apart
Thro’ the orange grove he hastens
He is coming, oh my heart.

Ah! ’mid the throng, many, many are fair
Bright flowerlets twine in raven hair.

Dark eyes sparkle and gleam
Soft lips breathe tender sighs
Shall I fairest seem in his eyes.

Ah, joy ah joy he comes to me.

Hark! now rings the music
While the silver moon-beams shineIn the dance love, and foreverI am thine, only thine.

Hark now, rings the music
While the silver moon-beams shine
In the dance love, and forever
I am thine, only thine
I am thine...
