Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCCBBCCDDEEFFGD HHIIJJ| Your hair was full of roses in the dewfall as we danced | A |
| The sorceress enchanting and the paladin entranced | A |
| In the starlight as we wove us in a web of silk and steel | B |
| Immemorial as the marble in the halls of Boabdil | B |
| In the pleasuance of the roses with the fountains and the yews | C |
| Where the snowy Sierra soothed us with the breezes and the dews | C |
| In the starlight as we trembled from a laugh to a caress | C |
| And the God came warm upon us in our pagan allegresse | C |
| Was the Baile de la Bona too seductive Did you feel | B |
| Through the silence and the softness all the tension of the steel | B |
| For your hair was full of roses and my flesh was full of thorns | C |
| And the midnight came upon us worth a million crazy morns | C |
| Ah my Gipsy my Gitana my Saliya were you fain | D |
| For the dance to turn to earnest O the sunny land of Spain | D |
| My Gitana my Saliya more delicious than a dove | E |
| With your hair aflame with roses and your lips alight with love | E |
| Shall I see you shall I kiss you once again I wander far | F |
| From the sunny land of summer to the icy Polar Star | F |
| I shall find you I shall have you I am coming back again | G |
| From the filth and fog to seek you in the sunny land of Spain | D |
| I shall find you my Gitana my Saliya as of old | H |
| With your hair aflame with roses and your body gay with gold | H |
| I shall find you I shall have you in the summer and the south | I |
| With our passion in your body and our love upon your mouth | I |
| With our wonder and our worship be the world aflame anew | J |
| My Gitana my Saliya I am coming back to you | J |
