The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for Grenada,
for she can remember the splendor that once was Grenada.
It still can be found in the hills all around as I wand'r along.
Entranced by the beauty before me.
Entranced by a land full of sunshine and flowers and song.

And when day is done and the sun starts to set in Granada.
I envy the blush of the snow-clad Sierra Nevada.
For soon it will welcome the star while a thousand guitars.
Play a soft habaņera.

Then moonlit Granada will live again the glory of yesterday,
Romantic and gay!"
