Spanish Harlem
Moonlit Romance: Unveiling the Secrets of the Red Rose in Spanish Harlem
Lyrics
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
Describes the presence of a rose in Spanish Harlem.
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
Emphasizes the red color of the rose in Spanish Harlem.
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
Highlights the uniqueness of the rose, suggesting it's rare.
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
Suggests the rose blooms at night when the moon is visible.
And all the stars are gleaming
Refers to the stars shining, creating a dreamy atmosphere.
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
Metaphorically describes the rose growing through tough conditions.
But soft and sweet and dreaming
Contrasts the harsh surroundings with the rose's soft and sweet nature.
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
Reiterates the presence of the rose in Spanish Harlem.
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
Re-emphasizes the red color and significance of the rose.
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
Personifies the rose with eyes, suggesting depth and emotion.
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
Implies the impact of the rose's gaze, igniting passion and loss of control.
I have to beg your pardon
Expresses a need for forgiveness or understanding.
I'm going to pick that rose
Declares an intention to pick the rose and be part of its growth.
And watch her as she grows in my garden
Envisions watching the rose grow in a personal garden.
I'm going to pick that rose
Repeats the desire to pick and nurture the rose.
And watch her as she grows in my garden
Reiterates the image of the rose growing in a personal garden.
