Spanish Harlem
Moonlit Passion: Unveiling the Hidden Beauty of Spanish Harlem's Rose
Lyrics
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
There is a rose located in Spanish Harlem.
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
Specifically, a red rose is present in Spanish Harlem.
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
This rose is unique and hasn't been exposed to sunlight.
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
It only emerges when the moon is visible in the sky.
And all the stars are gleaming
All the stars are shining brightly around this time.
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
The rose is growing in the street, breaking through the concrete.
But soft and sweet and dreaming
Despite the urban setting, it's described as soft, sweet, and dreamlike.
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
Reiteration of the presence of a rose in Spanish Harlem.
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
Reiteration of a red rose specifically in Spanish Harlem.
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
The rose has eyes as black as coal, looking deep into the singer's soul.
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
This intense gaze ignites a fire in the singer's soul, causing them to lose control.
I have to beg your pardon
The singer expresses the need to apologize or seek forgiveness.
I'm going to pick that rose
The singer intends to pick the rose and witness its growth in their garden.
And watch her as she grows in my garden
(Repetition of line 15)
I'm going to pick that rose
The singer reaffirms their intention to pick the rose and watch it grow.
And watch her as she grows in my garden
(Repetition of line 17)
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
(Reiteration of the presence of a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(Vocalizations with no specific lyrics)
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
(Reiteration of the presence of a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(Vocalizations with no specific lyrics)
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
(Reiteration of the presence of a rose in Spanish Harlem)
