| 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 |

| 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 |
