Hold me close 
And hold me tight -
Hold me now while my head seems light.
Thrills like this
Linger so
When I hear them play 'Dansero'.

If I dream 
Of new delights,
It's a part of this night of nights,
And while I
Feel this glow,
Let them play and play 'Dansero'. 

In my heart I know that if I've heard one tune,
I've heard a thousand themes -
But still and all I find there's only one
That thrills me to extremes, 
And so it seems:

Here before 
My very eyes,
I could swear this is paradise.
This is all
Mine, I know,
When I hear them play 'Dansero'.
