Lyrics
Far off in Spain as the day’s starting in to fade
There is a serenade sung to a Spanish maid
Back of her lattice, her eyes twinkle like a star
While neath the deodar, he sings with his guitar
Refrain
“Rose of Madrid, I adore you
Come to my arms, I implore you
Open your lattice and look out into the night
Sweet vision of delight
Throw me a rose, throw me a rose
Rose of Madrid all your glances
Speak of impassioned romances
You know each sentence is true that I utter
Open your shutter Rose of Madrid
I love you”
