Malagueña
Composer(s): Ernesto Lecuona; Marian Banks
Performer(s): Connie Francis



"Fly away!" Said my carefree heart
"To the pace where daydreams start"
"Fly away!" Said my heart to me
"To the shore of the moonlit sea"
"T'is the gypsy code to be fancy-free
When I see a road
Oh that's the road for me!

My Malagueña, your eyes shamed the purple sky
You were as fair as I dreamed you would be
I loved and left you for I never could deny
The gypsy strain in me
Lightly as a song, going where I please
Journeying along with every vagrant breeze
Up a hill, down a stream
I follow in a dream

Long have I travelled my love
Since the night we met
Seeking in wandering
A way to forget
But it's no matter by what path I may depart
I can't escape from my Malagueña
