Moonlit Romance in Spanish Harlem: A Tale of a Secret Rose
Lyrics
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
There is a rose located in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
A red rose is present in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
This rose is unique, having never been exposed to sunlight
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
It only becomes visible when the moon is out
And all the stars are gleaming
At that time, when stars are shining brightly
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 its urban environment, the rose is 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
A reaffirmation that it is a red rose in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
Describing the rose with eyes as black as coal that seem to penetrate the singer's soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
The gaze of the rose ignites a fire in the singer, leading to a loss of control
I have to beg your pardon
An expression of apology or regret for the overwhelming emotions caused by the rose
I'm going to pick that rose
The singer expresses the intention to pick the rose
And watch her as she grows in my garden
Observing and nurturing the rose as it grows in the singer's garden
I'm going to pick that rose
Reiteration of the intention to pick the rose
And watch her as she grows in my garden
Continued anticipation of watching the rose grow in the singer's garden
(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
Vocalization (la-la-la) emphasizing the rose's existence
(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
Vocalization (la-la-la) emphasizing the rose's existence
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
Reiteration of the presence of a rose in Spanish Harlem
