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

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 it's glee
Crown it with flowers
Grant love it's hours for me

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

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