When I left Havana nobody saw me go

But my little gaucho maid who loves me so

She came down the pathway following after me

That same little gaucho maid that I longed to see

If at your window you see a gentle dove

Treat it with care and welcome it there with love

It may be so I do not deny its glee

Crown it with flowers grant love its hours for me



Oh my darling be mine

Won't you say that you love me

All my passions so tender oh please surrender your love divine

Ah my darling be mine

Won't you say that you love me

Oh my passions so tender oh please surrender your love divine



Oh my darling be mine

Won't you say that you love me

All my passions so tender oh please surrender your love divine
