Night Zephyr streams through the ether, Courses, roars, Guadalquivir. Now the golden moon has risen, Listen... Hark... The ringing of a guitar... See, a young Spanish lady Has perched upon a balcony. Night Zephyr streams through the ether, Courses, roars, Guadalquivir. Shed your mantle, dear angel, And appear as a bright day! Through the cast-iron balustrade Thread your sublime little foot! Night Zephyr streams through the ether, Courses, roars, Guadalquivir.
