[Verse 1]
When I left Havana nobody saw me go
But my little gaucho maid who loves me so
She came down the pathway following after me
That same little gaucho maid that I longed to see

[Bridge]
If at your window you see a gentle dove
Treat it with care and welcome it there with love
It may be so I do not deny its glee
Crown it with flowers, grant love its hours for me

[Verse 2]
Oh, my darling, be mine
Won't you say that you love me
All my passions so tender
Oh, please surrender your love divine
Ah, my darling, be mine
Won't you say that you love me
Oh, my passions so tender
Oh please surrender your love divine

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Oh, my darling, be mine
Won't you say that you love me
All my passions so tender
Oh please surrender your love divine
