Serenade of the Bells
Serenade of Love: Echoes of Broken Bells in San Odego
Lyrics
In the sleepy town of San Odego
In the quiet town of San Odego
There's a story that mi padre tells
There's a tale that my father shares
Of a gay senor and senorita
About a happy gentleman and lady
And the serenade of the bells
And the beautiful music of the bells
Seems they asked the padre for permission
They sought approval from the priest
To be married early in the spring
To wed in the early spring
But they both had made just one condition
But with one condition they both did cling
That the mission bells had to ring
That the mission bells must joyfully ring
Now everyone knew the bells were broken
Everyone was aware the bells were mute
They hadn't sounded for a long, long time
For a prolonged period they hadn't chimed
Then one night the village was astounded
Then, one night, the town was surprised
For the bells began to chime
As the bells began their rhythmic rhyme
Still the bells are broken, goes the story
Although the bells were still broken, the legend persists
But if in your heart a true love dwells
If true love resides within your heart
They will ring for you in all their glory
They will resonate for you, showcasing their full splendor
That's the serenade of the bells
That is the enchanting serenade of the bells
Now everyone knew the bells were broken
Everyone was aware the bells were mute
They hadn't sounded for a long, long time
For a prolonged period they hadn't chimed
Then one night the village was astounded
Then, one night, the town was surprised
For the bells began to chime
As the bells began their rhythmic rhyme
Still the bells are broken, goes the story
Although the bells were still broken, the legend persists
But if in your heart a true love dwells
If true love resides within your heart
They will ring for you in all their glory
They will resonate for you, showcasing their full splendor
That's the serenade of the bells
That is the enchanting serenade of the bells
