"Granada!
I'm falling under your spell -
And if you could speak,
what 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 sun in the sky
greets the day with a sigh for Granada -
For she can remember
the splendor that once was Granada ..."
