Lyrics:

Granada I'm falling under your spell
And if you could speak what for a
Fascinating tale you would tell
Of an age the world has long forgotten
Of an age that weaves a silent magic
In Granada today

The dawn in the sky greets the day
With a sigh for Granada
For she can remember the splendor
That once was Granada

It still can be found in the hills
All around as I wander along
Entranced by the beauty before me
Entranced by a land full of sunshine
And flowers and song
And when day is done and the sun
Starts to set in Granada
I envy the blush of the snow clad Sierra Nevada
For soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft habanera
Then moonlit Granada will live again
The glory of yesterday romantic and gay
