¶Lyrics / Text

When the little armadillo With his head upon his pillow Sweetly rests, And the parrakeet and the lindo Flitting past my cabin window Seek their nests,— When the mists of even settle Over Popocatapetl, Dropping dew,— Like the condor, over yonder, Still I ponder, ever fonder, Dear, of You! May no revolution shock you, May the earthquake gently rock you To repose, While the sentimental panthers Sniff the pollen-laden anthers Of the rose! While the pelican is pining, And the moon is softly shining On the stream, May the song that I am singing Send a tender cadence winging Through your dream! Señorita Maraquita, Muy bonita, pobracita!— Hear me weep!— But the night is growing wetter, So I guess that you had better Go·to sleep.
