Luis Eduardo Aute - Lost in La Alhambra lyrics

Once upon a time, A purple moon awakened Over cypresses and chimes, The air breathed April orange blossoms, Cinnamon and crime, A silver light Beheld the sight Of Moorish towers dripping water gardens Under the old Alhambra night. Walking all alone, I knew about the spell of being A sultan on his throne, The fragile soul of beauty And the spirit of the unknown, The excited breath Of love and d**h, The raving visions of bewildered pa**ions Written on the starry breadth. Lost in La Alhambra, In a night where a breeze is a sigh Making love to a murmuring stream... Lost in La Alhambra, Lost in a dream. Suddenly a hand Awakened me from ecstasy To make me understand That I got lost While wandering along this wonderland, I turned to see Who could it be And I found Irving, the tale-teller, dancing Like a fool in front of me. "Welcome, my dear friend, La Alhambra is the beginning of a tale That never ends, There´s no way out, no getting back, If that´s what you pretend. You´ll never find The path behind, This fool in front of you gave up long time ago While seeking peace of mind".
