Spanish Harlem
Harmony Blooms: Unveiling the Secrets of the Spanish Harlem Rose
Lyrics
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
Reference to a rose located in Spanish Harlem.
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
Emphasis on the red color of the rose in Spanish Harlem.
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
Describing the uniqueness of the rose, untouched by sunlight.
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
The rose appears only in the moonlight.
And all the stars are gleaming
Reference to the shining stars in the night sky.
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
Symbolizing growth through adversity, breaking through concrete.
But soft and sweet and dreaming
The rose is soft, sweet, and dreaming, suggesting purity.
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
Reiteration of the presence of the rose in Spanish Harlem.
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
Repeating the red rose's existence in Spanish Harlem.
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
Describing the rose's eyes as black as coal, looking into the soul.
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
The gaze of the rose ignites a passionate fire and loss of control.
I have to beg your pardon
Expressing the need for forgiveness or understanding.
I'm going to pick that rose
Expressing the intention to pick the rose and witness its growth.
And watch her as she grows in my garden
Imagining the rose growing in the speaker's garden.
I'm going to pick that rose
Reiteration of the intention to pick the rose and witness its growth.
And watch her as she grows in my garden
Continuation of the image of the rose growing in the speaker's garden.

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
