I play nights in the spanish part of town
I´ve got music in my hands
The work is hard to find
But that don´t get me down
Rosalinda understands

Crazy latin dancing solo down in herald square
Oh havana i´ve been searching for you everywhere
And though i´ll never be there
I know what i would see there
I can always find my cuban skies
In rosalinda´s eyes

When she smiles she gives everything to me
When she´s all alone she cries
And i´d do anything to take away her tears
Because they´re rosalinda´s eyes

Senorita don´t be lonely, i will soon be there
Oh havana i´ve been searching for you everywhere
I´ve got a chance to make it
It´s time for me to take it
I´ll return before the fire dies
In rosalinda´s eyes

All alone in a puerto rican band
Union wages, wedding clothes
Hardly anyone has seen how good i am
But rosalinda says she knows

Crazy latin dancing solo down in herald square
Oh havana i´ve been searching for you everywhere
And though i´ll never be there
I know what i would see there
I can always find my cuban skies
In rosalinda´s eyes
