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
