She is a signorita with a complexion fine and rare She always has a rose or a sunflower in her hair She is as kind As Florence Nightingale She is the wind within my sail
Refrain:
Ely is a Mexican star I can see her smiling from afar She is a Mexican star She sings as lovely as the young Miss Karmen Kar
On Acapulco evenings we sip rum at Ana’s Bar I sing old-fashioned cha-cha-chas and I strum on my guitar My lyrics tell, That she is as sweet As a Las Lomas parakeet.
