Lyrics
Far, far away from here
Where skies are always clear
Where roses scent the air
Where olive branches sway
Where life is always gay
The girl I love lives there
And I know that she is waiting still for me
Down in sunny Southern Spain
In a hacienda, and I’m going to send a
Message with this sweet refrain
Chorus
My Carmelita
Where the fairest glowers grow
In dreams I go back where I met you
I can’t forget you
When the Southern breezes blow
And twilight’s falling
I hear you calling and long for you
My Carmelita, sweet senorita
I serenade you from afar on my guitar
Can’t you hear love’s melodies
Carried by the fragrant breeze
When the golden sun is sinking low, oh
Come to me my own, I love you so
