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.

Refrain
