Fountain cans't thou sing the songA
My Juan sang to meB
The moonlit orange groves amongC
Then list the words from meB
And mark thee by the morning's lightD
Or by the moon's soft beamE
Or when my eyes with smiles are brightD
Or when I wake or dreamE
O Fountain thou must sing the songA
My Juan sang to meB
Yet stay the only words I knowF
Are Inez Love and TheeB
-
Fountain on my light guitarG
I'll play the strain to theeB
And while I watch yon laughing starG
The words will come to meB
And mark thee when my heart is sadH
And full of sweet regretsI
Or when it throbs to laughter gladH
Like feet to castanetsI
O Fountain thou must sing the songA
My Juan sang to meB
Yet stay the only words I knowF
Are Inez Love and TheeB
-
Fountain clap thy twinkling handsI
Beneath yon floating moonJ
And twinkle to the starry bandsI
That dance upon the gloomK
For I am glad for who could craveL
The joyous night to fillM
A richer treasure than I haveN
In Juan's seguedilleM
So Fountain mark no other songA
Dare ever sing to meB
Tho' only four short words I knowF
Just Inez Love and TheeB

Morello strikes on his guitarG
When over the olives the starG
Of eve like a rose touch'd with goldO
Doth slowly its sweet rays unfoldO
Perchance 'tis in some city squareP
And the people all follow us thereP
Don donna slim chulo padroneF
The very dog runs with his boneF
One half of the square is in the shadeQ
On the other the red sunset fadesI
The fount as it flings up its jetsI
Responds to my brisk castanetsI
I wear a red rose at my earR
And many a whisper I hearR
If she were a lady beholdO
None other should share my red goldO
-
St Anthony save us what eyesI
How gem like her little foot fliesI
These dancers should all be forbidS
To dance in the streets of MadridS
If I were a monarch I'd ownF
No other to sit on my throneF
Two scarlet streamers tie my hairP
They burn like red stars on the airP
My dark eyes flash my clear cheek burnsI
My kirtle eddies in swift turnsI
My golden necklet tinkles sweetT
Yes yes I love the crowded streetT
