Fina Estampa

A cheerful little path
With moonlight or sunlight
Stretching like a ribbon
With its sides blushing
Blush of geraniums
And blushing smiles
Blush of carnations
And cheeks in bloom

Perfumed with magnolias
Sprinkled with morning dew
The little path smiles
When your skin caresses
And the mockingbird laughs
And the window shakes
When through that path
You walk with your fine print

Fine print, gentleman
Gentleman of fine print
A star, that would smile under a hat
Would not smile
More beautiful or brighter
Gentleman
And in your walk shines
The sidewalk as you walk

It takes you through the hallways
And to the enchanted courtyards
It takes you through the squares
And to the dreamed loves
Little path that lulls
With embroidered taffeta
Heel of silk shoe
And starched petticoats

It's a cheerful little path
With moonlight or sunlight
That I must travel singing
In case I can reach you
Fine print, gentleman
Who could keep you

Fine print, gentleman
Gentleman of fine print
A star
That would smile under a hat
Would not smile
More beautiful or brighter
Gentleman
And in your walk, shines
The sidewalk as you walk
