Spanish Harlem
Moonlit Passion: Unveiling the Secrets of Spanish Harlem's Red Rose
Lyrics
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
There's a symbol of beauty and elegance in Spanish Harlem.
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
Specifically, it's a red rose, emphasizing its vibrant color and presence.
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
This rose is unique, sheltered from direct sunlight.
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
It only blossoms under the cover of night, when the moon is visible.
And all the stars are gleaming
The environment is serene, with stars shining brightly.
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
Metaphorically, the rose thrives in harsh conditions, growing amidst the urban landscape.
But soft and sweet and dreaming
Despite its tough surroundings, the rose retains a gentle and dreamy quality.
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A reaffirmation of the presence of this distinctive rose in Spanish Harlem.
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
Reiteration of the vivid redness of the rose in this locale.
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
Personifying the rose with deep, intense eyes that seem to understand the singer's soul.
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
The gaze of the rose sparks passion and an overwhelming loss of control.
I have to beg your pardon
An apology or an acknowledgment of the effect the rose has on the singer.
I'm going to pick that rose
The singer expresses a desire to possess and nurture the rose.
And watch her as she grows in my garden
Intent to cultivate and observe the growth of the rose in a personal garden.
I'm going to pick that rose
Reiteration of the desire to pick and nurture the rose.
And watch her as she grows in my garden
Reiteration of the intent to cultivate the rose in a personal garden.
