At Siesta Time 1916 Chu Chin Chow

Heat of the noon day!
Hush of the June day!
Fragrant with perfume of Roses;
Calm and contented,
and sandal wood scented,
all nature a moment reposes.
Stillness of night
in the heart of the day,
Save for the sound
of the fountains at play;
Ah! Ah! Ah!

At siesta time on the house top,
in the languorous haze of the day.
That is the time when I ponder,
When I wonder the hours away;
It is life in essence of music,
Set to a sensuous rhyme
Wonderful skies of cloudless blue,
Wonderful eyes I gaze into
And wonderful dreams
I dream with you
at Siesta Time.

At siesta time on the house top,
in the languorous haze of the day.
That is the time when I ponder,
When I wonder the hours away;
It is life in essence of music,
Set to a sensuous rhyme
Wonderful skies of cloudless blue,
Wonderful eyes I gaze into
And wonderful dreams
I dream with you
at Siesta Time.
