La Paloma

When I left Havana nobody saw me go
 But my little gaucho maid who loves me so
 She came down the pathway following after me
 That same little gaucho maid that I longed to see
 If at your window you see a gentle dove
 Treat it with care and welcome it there with love
 It may be so I do not deny its glee
 Crown it with flowers grant love its hours for me
 Oh my darling be mine
 Won't you say that you love me
 All my passions so tender oh please surrender your love divine
 Ah my darling be mine
 Won't you say that you love me
 Oh my passions so tender oh please surrender your love divine

 Oh my darling be mine
 Won't you say that you love me
