(Music)

♫ I don't understand myself, ♫

♫ why they keep talking of love, ♫

♫ if they come near me, ♫

♫ if they look into my eyes and kiss my hand. ♫

♫ I don't understand myself, ♫

♫ why they talk of magic, ♫

♫ that no one withstands, ♫

♫ if he sees me, if he passes by. ♫

♫ But if the red light is on ♫

♫ in the middle of the night ♫

♫ and everybody listens to my song, ♫

♫ then it is plain to see. ♫

♫ My lips, they give so fiery a kiss, ♫

♫ my limbs, they are supple and soft. ♫

♫ It is written for me in the stars, ♫

♫ thou shalt kiss, thou shalt love. ♫

♫ My feet, they glide and float, ♫

♫ my eyes, they lure and glow. ♫

♫ And I dance as if entranced, 'cause I know, ♫

♫ my lips give so fiery a kiss. ♫

♫ In my veins, ♫

♫ runs a dancer's blood, ♫

♫ because my beautiful mother ♫

♫ was the Queen of dance ♫

♫ in the gilded Alcazar. ♫

♫ She was so very beautiful, ♫

♫ I often saw her in my dreams. ♫

♫ If she beat the tambourine ♫

♫ to her beguiling dance, all eyes were glowing admiringly. ♫

♫ She reawakened in me, ♫

♫ mine is the same lot. ♫

♫ I dance like her at midnight ♫

♫ and from deep within I feel: ♫

♫ My lips, they give so fiery a kiss, ♫

♫ my limbs, they are supple and soft. ♫

♫ It is written for me in the stars, ♫

♫ thou shalt kiss, thou shalt love. ♫

♫ And I dance as if entranced, 'cause I know, ♫

♫ my lips give so fiery a kiss. ♫

(Applause)
