Nina
Nina's Spell: A Captivating Tale of Infatuation
Lyrics
When I arrive in any town
Expressing the act of arriving in a town.
I look the ladies up and down
Observing and assessing the women in the town.
And when I've picked my favorite flame
Choosing a favorite romantic interest.
This is my patter, no matter her name
Introducing a consistent approach in courtship, regardless of the woman's name.
Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina
Addressing a person named Nina, expressing fascination, admiration, and being enchanted by her charm.
Fascinating Nina
-What a lovely child
-Nina, you enchant me
-Nina, you're so sweet
-I mean yuh fairly drive me wild
-Nina, till the moment you hit my heart
Continuing the admiration for Nina, suggesting a significant impact on the speaker's emotional well-being.
Nina, I was doin' just fine
-But since I've seen yuh
-Nina, Nina, Nina
-I'll be having neurasthenia
-Till I make yuh mine!
-Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina
Comparing Nina to a bright gardenia, warning about her enticing nature that might lead to insanity.
You're the bright gardenia
-Of the Spanish Main
-Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina
-Don't be so enticing
-Or I'll go insane
-Nina, till alas I gazed in your eyes
Describing the transformative effect of Nina on the speaker, including references to mental conditions like neurasthenia and schizophrenia.
Nina, I was mentally fine
-But since I've seen yah
-Nina, Nina, Nina

-Till I make yah
-Till I make yah
-Till I make yah mine
Expressing the desire to make Nina the speaker's own.
