Song # 14
Luis A. Estable 1958 (Oriente, Cuba)
My hands do want to touch
Your queenly face and chest.
Your beauty is of such
That seems by heaven blest.
Your lips I want to kiss
Off, on the length of spring.
And then, I want, my Miss,
To hear your voice, lo, sing.
And after that, my Sweet,
I care not if I die.
My heart can stop its beat.
My mind to earth good-bye.
