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
