  • Mi Pueblito Perdido

    O how

    Ruefully I pine

    For mi pueblito perdido,

    What I wouldn’t give,

    To be young again,

    And happy as I was back then.

     

    Maria, full of peace, 

    Do you remember

    Francis Albert softly keening

    O Amor Em Paz,

    And other songs by Jobim,

    Happy as you were back then?

     

    O for

    That wide-eyed

    Impression of yours,

    Paquita (la de Murcia),

    Of your beloved Mary Lyn,

    Happy as you were back then.

     

    O how

    Ruefully I pine

    For mi pueblito perdido,

    What I wouldn’t give,

    To be young again,

    And happy as I was back then.
