Lady of Madrid, how I love you
Lady of Madrid, I will be true
Here in the moonlight beneath your balcony
Singing the song that is love's sweet melody
Lady of Madrid, forevermore
Lady of Madrid, you, I'll adore
I will love you, dear, always
By the stars above,
Lady of Madrid, my love.
Night falls, love calls,
Through the orange groves
A caballero goes his way
Starlight, moonlight,
All the ???? ????
A senorita bright and gay
Oh hear an old song of the Spanish Main
Flower of Spain, tend the strain
Great caballero serenades his love
With this refrain
Lady of Madrid, how I love you
Lady of Madrid, I will be true
Here in the moonlight beneath your balcony
Singing the song that is love's sweet melody
Lady of Madrid, forevermore
Lady of Madrid, you, I'll adore
I will love you, dear, always
By the stars above,
Lady of Madrid, my love.
