Your Smiles Your Tears 1929 'Nina Rosa'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 29 nov 2005

[Jack:] Drooping and shy,
why must you sigh.
Here in this desert air?
Fragrant and sweet,
leave your retreat,
come to my garden fair.

[Niña Rosa:] Am I no longer alone?
Now can I call you my own?

[Jack:] Your smiles, your tears,
your hopes, your fears,
they all belong to me,
and life begins today,
for love has come to stay;
I seek the bliss of your first kiss,
and then to never part;
this is my prayer
to always share your smiles,
your tears, your heart!

[Jack:] Your smiles, your tears,
your hopes, your fears,
they all belong to me,
[Niña Rosa:] My life begins today,
for love has come to stay;
[Jack:] I seek the bliss of your first kiss,
and then to never part;
[Both:] this is my prayer
to always share your smiles,
your tears, your heart!
