Valencia

"Valencia! In my dreams it always seems I hear you softly call to me. Valencia! Where the orange trees forever scent the breeze Beside the sea. Valencia! In my arms I held your charms Beneath the blossoms high above. You loved me In Valencia long ago we found our Paradise of Love! In a magic dream of mem'ry I see you again In that old town far away Beneath skies of Spain. That city of tender romances, So shy were your glaces And swift as the sunshine that dances Through the Orange Grove. Valencia!" Valencia! Terre exquise Ou la brise Effeuille les fleurs d'oranger! Valencia! Doux rivage Ou le nuage Emporte nos reves legers! Valencia! Fleur perverse Qui nous verse Tous les parfums tour a tour. Je t'aime Car j'eus le bonheur surpreme Dans ton paradis d'amour! Sur ta rive enchanteresse, Sous ton ciel si doux, J'ai connu l'ivresse Du premier rendezvous C'est la que le coeurangoise Les yeux pleins de fievres J'ai laisse cueillir sur mes levres Le premier baiser Valencia!
